Episode Notes

Psalm 135 serves as a bridge between temple worship and covenant remembrance.

The Lord alone deserves praise because He is good, sovereign, faithful, and mighty to save.

God’s sovereignty over creation and history gives believers confidence in every season of life.

Remembering God’s redeeming works fuels worship and steadies the hearts of His people.

Idols are powerless, lifeless, and unable to save, but the Lord is the living God who speaks, acts, and redeems.

Psalm 135 points beyond Israel’s redemption to the greater redemption found in Jesus Christ.
