steadfast love

The last song Jesus sang publicly before his betrayal and crucifixion was Psalm 118 which begins, "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!" Can you imagine? What about us? How can we sing that God is good, and is being good to us, when life hurts us and people are hateful to us? 

I. Celebrate the goodness of God and his love, vv1-4
II. See that Jesus suffered like us, as an example, vv5-21. 
III. See that Jesus suffered for us, as our Savior, vv22-29.

I. The call to everyone everywhere to praise Yahweh, v1. II. The reason? Because of Yahweh’s covenant love and faithfulness, v2.

We thank you for joining us here at Elim church on this online streaming service. You have been listening to Reverend Ben Cooper, Donnie Stockburn. Andy Hammond, as we have holy communion together as we pray for the online church prayer requests as they come through on the social media feeds, we read from the Old Testament, and also from the New Testament.

How can we walk with God in such a way that as we fight our battles against the world, the flesh and the devil, we can do so without our heart melting in fear, without giving up? Pay attention to: I. The steadfast love of God, vv1-4. II. The saving glory of God, vv5-6. III. The sovereign promises of God, vv7-9. IV. The certain victory of God, vv10-13.

I. Give thanks for the steadfast covenant love of the LORD, vv1-3. II. Personal thanksgiving for four specific examples of divine intervention, vv4-31. III. Public praise of God for his providential hand, vv32-42. 

Explore with Host Lois Matson some things that are so far apart, so distant from each other that we have a hard time even comprehending them. How far is the East from the West, anyway? And for how long is everlasting to everlasting?

On today’s devotional, we are joined by @Kevin Muriithi who takes us through Psalms 26, showing us how David responded to the challenges he faced in his life. Are you facing some things today that are difficult? Are there aspects of your life that have turned out not as you thought they would and are difficult to stomach? Psalms 26 has lots for us to glean hope from and to consider.

Join us as we go deeper…
