Scripture

• Psalms 15

About this sermon

What actually creates a peaceful life? In this teaching on Psalm 15, John Ortberg explores the ancient biblical vision of an “unshakable” life — a life rooted in goodness, grace, truth, and the presence of God. Psalm 15 asks: “Who may dwell on your holy mountain?” The answer turns out to be both beautiful and deeply challenging. Along the way, John reflects on: Why peace is more than a feeling The connection between character and stability Gossip, envy, greed, ego, and emotional formation Positive psychology and virtue What kind of people we become through daily choices Why “the good life is with God” This episode is practical, thoughtful, convicting, and hopeful all at once.
