"Trust God" by Hiram Kemp

July 12, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon This episode is a sermon-length reflection on trusting God, using vivid real-world examples and biblical teaching to show how faith should shape every area of life. Hiram opens with familiar figures—Ben Carson, Chesley Sullenberger, Nick Saban and educator Jaime Escalante—to illustrate why experience earns trust, then challenges listeners to place the same confidence in God, who is eternal and never fails. The episode walks through seven specific areas where Christians should entrust themselves to God: 1) leave vengeance to God and trust Him to repay the wicked (Deuteronomy 32, Romans 12); 2) pray and rely on God for daily provision, illustrated by Exodus 16 and Matthew 6; 3) believe that God works all things together for good and adopt a "rearview" theology that sees God’s purposes in hindsight (Romans 8:28, Joseph and David examples); 4) trust in God’s full forgiveness through the New Covenant (Hebrews 8, Jeremiah 31, 1 John); 5) allow God to direct your path by trusting rather than leaning on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5–6); 6) have confidence that God will preserve the church (Daniel 2, Matthew 16); and 7) rest in God’s promise to save you in the end (Isaiah, 1 John, 2 Timothy). Along the way the sermon emphasizes practical implications—stop seeking personal revenge, pray the Lord’s Prayer for daily bread, give generously because God owns all, trade anxiety for peace by trusting God’s providence, and respond in repentance and baptism if you haven’t yet obeyed the gospel (Acts 2:38). Scriptural references are woven throughout to support each point, and the message closes with an invitation to respond and an encouragement that God’s faithful, providential care allows believers to live a life of relief and assurance.   Duration 34:47
