God and Me
from Island FMC Weekly Messages Hosted by Pastor Musa Daba
Drawing from Psalm 139 verses 1 through 12, this sermon explores what it means to be fully and intimately known by God. The pastor opens with the universal human tendency to manage appearances and hide our true selves, tracing this impulse back to the fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3. Against this backdrop, Psalm 139 is presented as the prayer of someone who has stopped hiding. The covenant God, Yahweh, is shown to know His people completely -- their sitting and rising, their unspoken words, their thoughts before they form, their paths, and their hiding places. The sermon holds in tension the unsettling and comforting dimensions of this knowledge, ultimately pointing to the God who does not merely observe from a distance but leads, holds, and remains present in every circumstance. The sermon concludes by directing listeners to Jesus, the great high priest who sympathizes with human weakness, as the one to whom we should run rather than hide.
