Trustworthy


The theme for this work will be God’s trustworthiness

We put our trust in the Truth, in the person of Jesus Christ who is the demonstration of God faithfulness.
“Thou has been exchanged for it. faith becomes has faith or belief that something is true, not faith in one who has revealed himself as trustworthy, faithful.” The Cross in Our Context, Hall, 116.


Unchanging
God demonstrated His faithfulness through Jesus and Jesus is trustworthy.
Phil. 2:6-11
who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


Blessed Be Your Name
Prayer: “That we would be able to train our hearts to sing to you through times of trial.”

Scripture:
Psalms 18:10 says, “the name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe”

Psalms 9:1-2, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the almighty. I will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’”

O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing
“My gracious master and my God assist me to proclaim
To spread throughout the Earth abroad the honors of Thy name.”
To abide in Christ means to demonstrate and announce His name to others.

Your Name
key line...“Let the nations sing it louder, ‘cause nothing has the power to save, but Your name.”
        Saved from meaningless, giving purpose to humanity.
