Not Short on Truth

Listen to Sunday Night’s message from the Fifth Psalm.

Today’s Passage – Psalms 115 – 118

Second Milers also read – Matthew 17 – 18; Psalms 41 – 45; Proverbs 9

Scripture Memory for July – Hebrews 1

Listen to this morning’s Scripture song – James 4:10

“O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.” – (Psalm 117:1-2)

Did you ever notice that some of the most powerful messages in the Bible come out of passages of few words. For instance, Peter’s message at Pentecost, which was used of God to lead 3000 people to Christ, was only 25 verses long. The people at our church are hoping that I would learn to preach some of those short sermons. Anyway, Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in all the Bible, but it is certainly not short on truth. This Psalm speaks about two very important doctrines in the Bible: God’s mercy, and God’s truth. It really says it all if you think about it. Through God’s mercy a way was made possible for us to receive the forgiveness of our sins; and it is because of His truth that we could find out about His mercy. What an awesome little passage of Scripture!

  • Your blog was short too. Woe to us if we ever want our preacher to preach short sermons and not wanting to hear everything that God has for us.
