This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

The Only King Who Reigns Forever

Psalm 146 is the first movement of the grand Hallelujah symphony that closes the entire book of Psalms. Five psalms—146 through 150—all beginning and ending with the exact same Hebrew word meaning to "Praise the LORD!" Ancient Israel apparently wanted to go out with a bang, not a whimper.

Today we're going to linger in this song line by line, because it diagnoses the disease of our age—misplaced hope—and then prescribes the only cure that actually works: lifelong, wholehearted, breathless praise of the God who made the heavens and the earth and who will outlast every empire.

This week, every single time this week you feel that familiar tightness in your chest over politics, health, money, or your kids' future, I want you to whisper verse 3 and then answer it with verse 5. Out loud. In the tractor, in the kitchen, or wherever you are—doesn't matter

Psalms 146:3 NAS95

Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

Psalms 146:5 NAS95

How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the LORD his God.
