The God Who Does What He Says (Psalm 138)

It happens all too often.

Someone tells us that they'll do something, and for whatever reason -- good or bad -- they never seem to follow through. And it's not only politicians who pepper their speech with empty words. All too often our loved ones, friends, and community are found lacking in this.

But as we'll see in Psalm 138 this Sunday, we serve a God who has done what he said, is doing what he said, and will do what he said. In a time where most of us are half doing things, we can take comfort with our whole heart in a God who fully does what he says. Join us this Lord's Day for worship as we look at Psalm 138.
