Not Consumed

This sermon explores Psalm 129 as a source of comfort for believers facing prolonged affliction and hostility. It highlights the central truth that God is righteous, meaning He is holy and faithful to His promises, which ensures that the wicked will not ultimately prevail against His people. The message contrasts the temporary flourishing of enemies with their inevitable failure to reap a harvest, using the imagery of grass on housetops that withers before it grows. By connecting the historical suffering of Israel to the ongoing struggles of the church, the sermon encourages believers to look back at God's past preservation and forward to His future judgment. This perspective offers profound peace, affirming that while the church may feel diminished, God's power remains unconsumed and His promises stand firm.
