THIS WEEK’S DEVOTION | Psalm 145
Join Pastor Bliese as he reads Psalm 145 and shares some of his insights for this week’s Psalm.
Psalm 145 is a joyful hymn of praise that proclaims God's greatness, goodness, and enduring faithfulness. The psalm reminds us that God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. He provides for all creation, upholds those who are struggling, and remains faithful to every promise He has made.
This Psalm points us to Jesus Christ, through whom God's kingdom is revealed and His mercy is fully known. Our response is one of gratitude and trust, praising God not because of our own works, but because of His grace and unfailing love. The passage encourages believers to proclaim God's goodness from one generation to the next, sharing the hope of the Gospel with the world.
BIBLE STUDY: Major Themes of the Bible | Thursdays at 10:30 AM
This series of big, beautiful biblical themes is meant to focus on important themes that run through the whole Bible from Old to New Testament. We will explore themes like “Wilderness,” Redemption,” “Salvation, and “The Exodus Way” and many more! We will use videos from the Bible Project to guide our discussions.
