Let the Lord Be Your God

Special episode of Prof. Gurgel (my maternal Grandpa) preaching on September 30th in 2001.    This is a meditation on the First Commandment and Psalm 37:25 (“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread”). The sermon emphasizes: Idolatry is subtle: even Christians may place trust, love, or fear in military power, loved ones, money, or self rather than God. God’s provision is certain: David’s testimony and the lives of believers show that God does not forsake His children but provides daily bread. The result of trusting God: instead of being beggars, believers become givers; instead of deceivers, they become speakers of wisdom; instead of forsaken, they become heirs both in this life and in eternity. The final inheritance: not just earthly security, but an eternal home with Christ.
