When you look around the world, do you become fearful?

When you hear about conflict in the Middle East, political division here at home, or face your own personal struggles in a sin-soaked world, the natural tendency is to become afraid.

This Sunday, we'll be looking at Psalm 46, where the psalmist reminds us that when we trust in the Lord, no matter the headlines, the uncertainty, or the struggles of life, we can have hope.

We start with church member Jeff Sypersma reading Psalm 46. The psalm begins with these powerful words: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear..." No matter what you are going through or what you are facing in the world or in your personal life, God is your refuge. His presence is a place of safety—a shelter that sustains and protects us.

The psalm concludes with three simple but life-changing reminders:

  1. Be still.
  2. Know.
  3. He is God.
