From trial to hope – Part 2
I know Julian Freeman is excited to get back into the Word with you this week as he takes us into Psalm 57 as we continue to look at part 2 of what it means to go from trial to hope. Last week’s message hit hard in a good way. Don’t forget your Bible and come prepared to hear from the Lord as he speaks through his Word and his servant. Don’t forget that we’ll be setting aside this series until the New Year as we move into a new series for Christmas.

Message: 11 – From trial to hope Part 2
Harvest Bible Chapel
Text: Psalm 57, 142
November 24, 2024
I am positioned to have hope in my trials as I ...
... rely on God's saving grace (v. 1-3)
... remember God's sovereign grace (v. 4, 6)
If there is any other certainty in life besides the proverbial “death and taxes,” it is this: God will not do something when you want him to do it. He may do it earlier. He may do it later. But if you ask the Lord to do something at 7:00 on Wednesday night on March 14, don’t be shocked when he shows up a week before or six months later, with neither his hat in his hand nor even a flimsy excuse. “Whatever the LORD pleases, he does” (Ps. 135:6). That’s about as true as true can be. However, if God has a predilection, it is to be perpetually late. And not just a wee bit tardy, but ridiculously, almost laughably late. ~ Chad Bird, Limping with God
... rest in God's sustaining grace (v. 7-10)
These two things, fear and confidence, inevitably go together in true spirituality. We cannot avoid fear, we cannot avoid anxiety, we cannot avoid frustration or even anger—with God, with ourselves or with others in the church. Yes, we are told, “do not be anxious about anything” (Phil 4:6), but this just betrays the fact that we are inevitably anxious. Otherwise, Paul would not need to say such a thing. So, yes, fear and anxiety, frustration, and despair, are part of the journey of authentic spirituality. But with that comes our confidence and faith, our refuge in God. ~ David Barker, This Poor Man Called: Stories and Songs of David, Vol 2
... rejoice in God's surpassing glory (v. 5, 11)
