In this message from our sermon series “Jesus, What Do I Do With…”, Pastor Brett guides us through Psalm 107:4–32 to explore one of the most universal human experiences: suffering. Whether it comes from our own decisions, the brokenness of the world, or divine redirection, suffering is something no one escapes—and everyone has to make sense of. Psalm 107 presents four case studies that illustrate the different ways people experience and respond to suffering: • The Wanderer – Spiritually disoriented, this person is seeking fulfillment but hasn't found a place to belong. Brett shares a personal story of getting lost in Tokyo to illustrate how spiritual wandering wears down the soul. But the text reminds us: those who cry out to the Lord are delivered and led home. • The Rebel – This is the person who resists God outright. Maybe out of hurt, cynicism, or pride, the rebel pushes back on God's wisdom and builds their own version of truth. Brett connects this to our modern culture's emphasis on self-definition and control, warning that these paths lead to despair. Yet even here, when the rebel cries out, God answers, breaks the chains, and sets them free. • The Fool – Not in overt rebellion, but through small, quiet compromises, the fool slowly loses their appetite for the things of God. They may still go through the motions of faith, but sin has dulled their spiritual senses. Brett calls us to examine our habits, cravings, and compromises, reminding us that Jesus didn't just come to forgive—He came to heal and restore what sin has emptied. • The CEO – Driven and successful, this person trusts more in their strength, hustle, and planning than in God. But storms come—sometimes divinely allowed—to expose our illusions of control. Brett describes this kind of suffering as “divine disruption,” a mercy that brings us back to dependence on God. When the storms rage, God hears our cries, calms the waters, and brings us to a place of peace. The heart of this sermon is a powerful reminder: suffering is not always something to escape—it might be an invitation into the steadfast love of God. Psalm 107 repeats the same chorus throughout: “Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man.” No matter the cause of the pain—wandering, rebellion, sin, or striving—God responds to cries for help with mercy, not condemnation. The message concludes with the story of Horatio Spafford, who wrote the hymn It Is Well With My Soul after losing his four daughters at sea. His suffering, though unimaginable, led to one of the most powerful declarations of faith the Church has known for over 150 years. His story reminds us that sometimes, songs of faith are born not in triumph, but in tragedy. This message invites all of us to examine our lives honestly. Are we numbing our ache, blaming others, or pretending we're fine? Or are we willing to cry out and let Jesus meet us in our distress? Through Psalm 107 and personal testimony, Brett reminds us that Jesus is not far off—He's close to the brokenhearted and ready to transform pain into praise. ⸻ Text: Psalm 107:4–32 Speaker: Brett Series: Jesus, What Do I Do With… Location: Flourishing Grace Church ⸻ Key Themes: Suffering, God's Steadfast Love, Wandering, Rebellion, Sin, Control, Deliverance, Healing, Redemption, Hope in Hardship, Worship in Suffering, Biblical Wisdom ⸻ If this message encouraged you, follow us on SoundCloud and share with someone who needs to be reminded that they are not alone in their pain.

Psalm 136 - Speaker: Christopher Hile - In Psalm 136, the psalmist does not complete a single sentence without rejoicing in praise that God's steadfast love endures forever. After calling his readers to give thanks to the LORD, he rehearses major events in the biblical narrative and grounds each of these wondrous deeds on a single cause: the enduring steadfast love of God. That is, every act of God on behalf of his people is linked to his unwavering commitment to his promises. But lest we think that God's steadfast love endured for them and not for us, the psalmist concludes by bringing himself and his audience into the story and rehearses God's deliverance of them, too. As we encounter God's works in his word, we see his steadfast love on display––not only for past generations of believers, but for us, too.

Psalm 36 w/guest Pastor Steve Burchett
In this heart-stirring and theologically rich episode, Mike Neglia is joined by theologian, pastor, and author Dr. Sam Storms to discuss his latest book, The Steadfast Love of the Lord: Experiencing the Life-Changing Power of God's Unchanging Affection. Together, they explore the transformative power of divine love, the misconceptions both the world and the church often hold about it, and how pastors can faithfully and fruitfully preach the love of God in ways that stir both head and heart.Storms shares how the love of God has moved from a general theological category to a deeply personal experience in his life, and what it means to feel the love of God—not just affirm it intellectually. They also wrestle with provocative questions about worship lyrics like “Reckless Love,” whether God loves people like Hitler, and how to shepherd a church with a biblically rooted understanding of God's affection.Dr. Storms brings pastoral warmth, theological depth, and personal honesty to this conversation, offering timely wisdom for pastors, teachers, and all who want to better understand the God who sings over His people.
In this sermon on Easter Sunday pastor Matt considers the story of David's lovingkindness to Mephibosheth and shows us that God's covenant love seats the unworthy at his table. Our God delights to lavish the riches of his grace up on his enemies that we might enjoy communion with him as part of his family, and he has made this possible through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Psalm 118:1-29 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! 2 Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 3 Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 4 Let those who fear the Lord say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? 7 The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. 8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. 10 All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! 11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! 12 They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! 13 I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the Lord helped me. 14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. 15 Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, 16 the right hand of the Lord exalts, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!” 17 I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord. 18 The Lord has disciplined me severely, but he has not given me over to death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. 20 This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it. 21 I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. 22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 23 This is the Lord‘s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save us, we pray, O Lord! O Lord, we pray, give us success! 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We bless you from the house of the Lord. 27 The Lord is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar! 28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. 29 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

Many believers know that “God is love.” But whether through cultural lies, false beliefs, or years of mulling over the tragedies of the world, it may be difficult to see the true, steadfast, and unchanging love of the Father. Thankfully, the Bible offers a clear picture of what God’s love looks like and how, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, believers experience His affection for themselves! Pastor and author Sam Storms joined us to look at God’s Word to address what God’s love is and what it isn’t. https://www.amazon.com/Steadfast-Love-Lord-Experiencing-Life-Changing/dp/1433593874 Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wkesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all long for loyalty but human loyalty has limits. In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally, shares about loyalty that we can depend on. Psalm 8:4 ESV What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?It doesn't make sense. Because although God doesn't need us, evidently He wants us. Exodus 34:6 ESV The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." There is a Hebrew word in God's self-description: hesed.Hesed is a word mentioned 247 times in OT. Here are some ways its translated:Unfailing love, steadfast love, faithful love, constant love, gracious love, loyal love, lovingkindness, mercy, goodness, and favor. Pastor Jamie's definition:Hesed is the dependable and enthusiastic loyalty, kindness and support that is received when someone is in relationship with God. Lamentations 3:22-23 "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."This is the relationship written on your heart that you have judged every other relationship by. You were hardwired for Hesed.What do the Psalms say about hesed?1. God's hesed never ends.Psalm 136:1 2. God's hesed isn't earned.God's loyalty isn't a loan He expects to be paid back—it's a gift with no strings attached. Psalm 106:43-45 NLT 3. God's hesed is pursuing you.Psalm 23:6 ESV Your sin and your shortcomings can't outrun the love of God. God's mercy moves faster than your mistakes. What is our response to Hesed?1. Worship God.Psalm 63:3 NKJVSince God's love never quits, our worship shouldn't either. 2. Give God your loyalty.Loyalty shouldn't just be received; it should be returned.Proverbs 3:3 NLT His loyalty toward us should move us into our own loyalty toward Him. 3. Love people.God's love fills us, not only for our own benefit, but so we can pour it out on others.Romans 13:8-10 NLT Notice love is an obligation, not an option. You don't have to follow the 10 commandments if you'll just follow the one commandment.Let's stop letting others determine how we act—we have hesed.Since you're loved by God, love like God. While we fail to show up, wander away, and even forget about God, He is faithful, He never forgets us, and He is there waiting for us to return to Him. Exodus 34:7a NLT I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations... God's hesed love is faithful for 1000 generations, or 40,000 years! No failure, no mistake, and no amount of distance can separate you from His hesed love and loyalty. How are you responding to God's loyal love?
