Pressure Points – Confident Victory – Psalm 24

Pressure Points

Psalm 24 – Confident Victory
Sunday, August 30, 2026

Pastor Mike Bailey

Introduction

Pressure points are located all over our bodies. There are hundreds of them, and each time pressure is applied to a pressure point, it pinches nerves or disrupts a normal operation of the body. When a nerve is pinched against a bone or muscle, it shoots an electrical signal of pain to the brain. Pain is the reaction from the pressure to warn people that damage may occur if the pressure is not removed. The authors of the Psalms had the same goal when writing. They wanted those who read the warnings to feel the pressure, to understand the limits, and to show us how to release and remove from our lives the negative things that cause pain. Pressure Points applied in the Psalms mold us to become better when we heed the warnings.

Confident Victory

Psalm 24

1. I will because I know He it all. (1-2)

¹ I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? ² My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! Psalm 121:1-2

Notes:

2. I will be because I know the . (3-6)

⁴ “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. ⁵ Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.” John 15:4-6

Notes:

3. I will the King because I know He the victory. (7-10)

But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. 2 Corinthians 2:14

Notes:

Victory in God:

Find it. Sit with it. Remember it. Be defined by it. Walk in it.

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Romans 3:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Growth Challenge:

This week take some intentionally bold steps in your walk with God.
