Preparing for Worship on Sunday, November 2

Samuel Thumbnail

Sermon: "From Fear to Faith"

The preaching passage: Psalm 55

These books trace the rise of kingship in Israel, beginning with Saul and transitioning to Israel's greatest king, David. The story is fraught with ups and downs for the nation, as well as spectacular displays of righteousness and spectacular forays into sin by the kings themselves. All along, the kingship in Israel directs our gaze to the coming King, who is no mere human king, but is Himself the divine King! The cry of Israel in 1 Samuel 10:24 – "Long live the king!" – was far more significant than they knew. For 2 Samuel 7 tells us of the King who would eventually come, whose throne and Kingdom would be established forever. We know that King to be none other than Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns forever. So with Israel we cry, "Long live the King!"

In this Psalm David teaches us what it looks like to face our fears with faith in God instead of flight from reality. Although the journey is not easy, the process is the same for every follower of Christ: cast all your burdens on the Lord.
