Psalm 46 | Summer of Psalms

Pastor TJ teaches through Psalms 46, reminding believers that God is their refuge, strength, and ever-present help in times of trouble. Using the story of King Hezekiah and the Assyrian siege as background, he explains that God's people do not need to fear, even when life feels chaotic, uncertain, or overwhelming, because God is sovereign over every circumstance. TJ emphasizes that the refuges and sources of strength we build for ourselves will eventually fail, but God alone is a secure fortress who never fails His people. He also explains that the command to "be still and know that I am God" is not merely a call to quietness, but a call to stop striving, trust God's authority, and remember that God will ultimately be exalted over all nations. Throughout the sermon, TJ encourages Christians to run to God first in seasons of crisis, finding peace, strength, and hope in Christ rather than in circumstances, worldly security, or their own abilities.
