I believe that God's timing is perfect. As such, I trust that the timing of this sermon podcast episode is perfect. I preached this sermon on August 7, 2022. The podcast episode should have been published the following week. However, after nearly seven months had passed, I went online to get the link for the sermon but could not find it. After some investigation, I realized that it had never been posted. So, I am publishing the sermon today, trusting that in God's sovereignty, it will providentially be a blessing to many who would not have needed it or be able to receive it during July of 2022.

The world is defined by theology. Whatever you hold as true defines how you see the world. Whatever you believe has the power to save has your heart's affection, and it will motivate you to fight for it passionately.

Common throughout psalm 119 is a focus on God's word. One of the basics of being a Christian is knowing and obeying the word of God. If you are a Christian, your faith began when you confessed Jesus as your Lord. If Jesus is your Lord, then you obey His commands. The commands of Jesus are known through His word, the Bible.

In this sermon, I make a case that your devotion to the word of God does not begin with determination but with devotion.

Hope in God's word. Love God's word. And be transformed by God's word.
