Title: Talk About His Precepts Speaker: Creston Thomas Series: Psalm 119 Date: September 6, 2026 Bible: Psalm 119:78 The sermon explores Psalm 119:78, urging believers to trust God's vindication when facing false accusations and persecution from the proud. By analyzing the Hebrew word for 'let' as a humble plea rather than a command, the text emphasizes that it is appropriate to ask God to shame those who oppose His truth. The preacher illustrates this through Joseph's experience in Genesis, showing how he refrained from defending himself against Potiphar's wife and instead relied on God's timing. Believers are encouraged to meditate on God's precepts and silence their own defenses, allowing Scripture to speak for them. Ultimately, the message affirms that God faithfully honors His word and vindicates those who remain faithful amidst trials.

The Safety of Suffering Christians (1 Peter 4:19) This sermon exhorts believers to entrust their souls to God during times of persecution and uncontrollable hardship. It emphasizes that suffering occurs under God's sovereign will, removing the notion of random chance or victimhood. The preacher highlights God as the faithful creator who possesses both the power and the moral character to preserve those who belong to Him. Believers are commanded to continuously commit their lives to His care while actively continuing in good works rather than retreating into passivity. This posture of trust and obedience serves as a powerful witness, demonstrating that the Christian's security rests solely in God's unchanging faithfulness.

This is how three Jews found themselves accused of the crimes of ingratitude and impiety before the king.
