Just three weeks into his retirement from four decades of service through and to the EFCA as pastor, president, and TEDS president, Kevin Kompelien preaches God’s Word in Psalm 62. While Kevin purposefully avoided any “Brent stories,” he offered heartfelt appreciation to New Life EFC for loving Brent and his family these past seven years (and counting) and sending him on his current sabbatical. Kevin also transparently shared how Psalm 62 has been deeply impactful in his life, most notably in the last lap of his career with restless nights over difficult decisions in Fall 2024. Kevin emphasized the “drumbeat” of Psalm 62 (NIV): “truly…surely…yes.” Kevin concluded with a powerful exegesis of vv. 11-12: “We Can Trust God Because He Is: 1) Powerful. 2) Loving. 3) Just.” His closing illustration came from Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4 and presenting the gospel through 2 Cor. 5:21.
