TRUSTWORTHY

01

The Premise

God can be trusted

and he can prove it.

Throughout the history of the world, God has shown himself as trustworthy. While it can be a little bit difficult to portray the perfect faithfulness that makes him so worth trusting, because... a) he doesn't set out to prove himself trustworthy - he just is, and b) his faithfulness is best seen over long, long periods of time... there is a set of Psalms (104-106) that do a pretty excellent job of it.

The Psalms

Praise the LORD, my soul. LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

Psalm 104:1

Start at the start

Psalm 104 is full of language that stretches all the way back to the beginnings of the universe, as God provides his first promises to humanity that he will provide for them with love and generosity. Notice the way the Psalm tells the story of creation.

+ info

Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

Psalm 105:1

Keep it going

Psalm 105 tells the story of the beginnings of the nation of Israel, God's chosen people in the Old Testament of the Bible. It praises God for being with them generation after generation and explains how they ended up in Egypt.

+ info

Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Psalm 106:1

Change it up

Psalm 106 has a different emphasis than 104 & 105. Instead of focusing almost entirely on positive moments in history, Psalm 106 points out several low moments in the history of God's people - and yet still can show how incredibly loving God is to them. It's never been about their performance!

The POINT

God is Trustworthy

Step by step, he has stuck with his people even though they have not been faithful.

All because God was creating something for all of humanity through his faithful love.

Press play to see the ultimate vision of God's trustworthy faithfulness as it plays out in Jesus.
