Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His Name! For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations. (Psalm 100:4-5)

Sermon preached by Jon Crawford at The Table's worship service on July 7, 2026, (Pentecost 2).

Have you had news you just had to share? Maybe you called a friend or told the next person you saw! Often, news we share has to do with something we really wanted, something we were hoping for, or something really good that happened. But how often is our salvation from sin the focus of our exciting news? In Psalm 107, the psalmist calls the reader to give thanks to the Lord for His steadfast love.

Psalm 136

Psalm 143 — Hope for the Weary Soul Walking Through the Psalms | Dave Jenkins There are seasons in the Christian life when the soul feels weary, discouraged, and overwhelmed. In Psalm 143, David cries out to the Lord for mercy, guidance, and steadfast love in the middle of spiritual exhaustion and suffering. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 143 teaches believers to honestly bring their struggles before God, remember His faithfulness, seek His guidance, and rest in His steadfast love through Christ alone. Listen or Watch Audio: Video: Episode Summary Psalm 143 is the final penitential psalm and gives voice to the weary believer who brings sorrow, fear, weakness, and need honestly before the Lord. David does not hide his weakness from God. Instead, he cries out for mercy, remembers the works of the Lord, asks for guidance, and rests in the steadfast love of God. This psalm reminds Christians that God hears the prayers of weary believers, guides His people by His Word and Spirit, and preserves them by His mercy and faithfulness. Key Scripture Psalm 143 1 Peter 5:7 Galatians 6:1–2 2 Corinthians 5 Episode Highlights Why weary believers should cry out to God for mercy How Psalm 143 speaks to spiritual exhaustion and discouragement The importance of remembering God's faithfulness Why Christians need God's Word, Spirit, guidance, and people How Psalm 143 points us to the righteousness and mercy of Christ Main Points Crying Out for Mercy Before a Holy God — Psalm 143:1–2 When the Soul Feels Overwhelmed — Psalm 143:3–4 Remembering the Faithfulness of God — Psalm 143:5–6 Seeking the Lord's Guidance and Steadfast Love — Psalm 143:7–10 Resting in the Steadfast Love of God — Psalm 143:11–12 Why This Matters Psalm 143 reminds us that bringing weakness before God is not failure. It is faith. The Christian life includes seasons of sorrow, discouragement, and heaviness, but believers are never left without hope. The Lord hears His people, leads them by His Word, and upholds them by His steadfast love. Ultimately, Psalm 143 points us to Christ, the truly righteous One, who bore judgment for sinners and rose again so that His people might receive mercy, forgiveness, guidance, and everlasting hope. Reflection Questions Where do you feel weary, discouraged, or overwhelmed right now? Have you brought those burdens honestly before the Lord in prayer? How can remembering God's past faithfulness strengthen your faith today? Are you seeking the Lord's guidance through His Word and Spirit? Who are trusted, mature believers in your local church you can share burdens with?

How does God's love keep showing up for us, even when we struggle? In this episode Professor Aaron Schade reframes the book of Judges as more than a collection of heroic stories. Instead, he describes it as a sobering account of spiritual decline, broken covenants, and the consequences of living according to "what is right in our own eyes." Professor Schade explores the recurring cycle found in Judges: ancient Israel turns away from God, experiences suffering, cries out for relief, and is delivered only to fall again. Rather than celebrating the judges as flawless leaders, he highlights their imperfections and the deeper message of the text as a lament over moral confusion and a society unraveling without covenant guidance. Further, Professor Schade explains that at the center of the book of Judges is the example of God's steadfast, unwavering love. Even as His people struggle to truly repent, He continues to reach out, deliver, and invite them back into a relationship with Him. This episode invites us to wrestle with difficult questions about agency, obedience, and discipleship while discovering the powerful truth that God's love persists. Even in the midst of our failures, God's love is always calling us back to Him.

Long for God's Steadfast Love

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away! 

Date May 3, 2026 Synopsis In this sermon, we confront the "surprise" no one wants: the devastating gap between the miracle we prayed for and the reality of grief. Amidst the heartbreak of losing a beloved child, we set aside the party to sit in the honest, defiant landscape of Psalm 23. We discover a God who doesn't offer trite explanations but a relentless, pursuing presence—a love that chases us even into the darkest valleys. When words fail, we find our way forward by simply showing up and mirroring the stubborn, enduring mercy that refuses to let us go.

Are you in a season where your current circumstances don't seem to match the dreams God put in your heart? The story of Joseph reflects that frustration in waiting on God's promises. From being a favored son to a rejected brother, a slave, and a prisoner. Whether you are in a "pit" or a "prison" season, God is still molding you for your purpose.Be sure to follow 614 Church online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/614_church/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/614church/Website: https://www.614church.orgTo support our ministry, https://614church.org/give/To fill out a contact card so we can stay in touch, click the link below!https://614.churchcenter.com/people/forms/283193Until Everyone Knows Jesus.

In this weeks episode, I'm reflecting on what it means to truly rest in the steadfast love of God.So many of us are walking through seasons that feel uncertain, painful, and stretching. Maybe you've been trying to stay faithful, but if you're honest, you're tired. Tired of waiting. Tired of praying. Tired of not understanding what God is doing. In this conversation, I wanted to slow down and anchor us in the truth that God's love is not shaky, conditional, or fleeting. It is steadfast and secure.This episode is for anyone who feels weary, confused, pruned, or stretched thin in this season.My prayer is that it reminds you that God has not forgotten you, He has not changed His mind about you, and He is still faithful in the middle of whatever you're carrying.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Steadfast Love of the Lord: The Soundtrack of Life (Psalm 118) - Gabriel Hinerman

SERMON IN A SENTENCE: As you sojourn through this world trust the steadfast love of God.

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever: Psalm 136 and the Covenant Love of God Series: Walking Through the PsalmsPodcast: Servants of Grace PodcastHost: Dave Jenkins Show Summary In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms on the Servants of Grace Podcast, Dave Jenkins teaches through Psalm 136 and explains how this psalm leads God's people to remember His mighty works through the repeated refrain, “for his steadfast love endures forever.” From creation to redemption to providence and present care, Psalm 136 shows that every work of God reveals His faithful covenant love. This psalm was likely used in corporate worship, with a leader declaring the mighty acts of God and the congregation responding together with the same refrain. As a result, Psalm 136 does not merely recount history. It teaches believers how to interpret all of life through the lens of God's steadfast love. The God who created the heavens and the earth, delivered Israel from Egypt, led His people through the wilderness, and remembered them in their low estate is the same God who remembers His people today. In this episode, Dave also shows how Psalm 136 pairs with Psalm 135 and ultimately points forward to the greatest display of God's covenant love in Jesus Christ. Because of Christ, believers can say with even greater confidence: His steadfast love endures forever.

After arriving in Bethlehem with Naomi, Ruth decides to glean for food in the surrounding fields in order to survive. As she goes to glean, we see God's steadfast love in action as she stumbles upon the field of a man named Boaz and receives unexpected generosity. God demonstrates his steadfast love through the seemingly random coincidences of life as well as through the exceedingly generous kindness of others. The right response to experiencing God's steadfast love is gratitude, stewardship, and generosity.

Our hearts often lead us in circles, chasing relationships, success, and happiness that ultimately disappoint. The problem is our souls are divided among many desires instead of being anchored in one governing desire—the Lord himself. When our hearts are scattered like a stream cut into many channels, we lose sight of what truly matters. God wants to direct our hearts to his steadfast love and Christ's faithfulness. He goes before us in gospel work, preparing hearts before we arrive. Even in a faithless world, we can find stability in our faithful Lord rather than in changing circumstances. Our everyday work becomes meaningful when we see it as serving God and loving our neighbors, bringing his goodness into our communities through excellence and character.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Steadfast Love of God (Psalm 136:1-4) by Josiah Graves

Today's Psalm (92) tells us “It is good … to declare your steadfast love in the morning” [v.1,2]  It is important to begin each day with taking at least a little time to focus our thoughts upon God, to declare to him in prayer our “steadfast love.”  We read on, “For you O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.”[v.4]   The wonders of creation are all around us, it is so easy to take them for granted. It is the greatest foolishness of human thinking to imagine that everything, sort of “created” itself.  God's handiwork surrounds us on every side, men have discovered so much more about the wonders of their own bodies and the incredible intricacies of nature, yet so few acknowledge and are in awe of the unlimited creative “mind” that brought it all into being.The Psalmist says “It should make us “glad” and “sing for joy.  How great are your works O LORD!  Your thoughts are very deep.” [v.4,5]  That last brief statement seems inadequate.  Can we begin to imagine the thought processes of God!  No – we cannot.  Through Isaiah God said, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” [55 v.8,9]Last month in Psalm 40 we read “You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.” [v.5]   Tomorrow in Psalm 94 we will read the contrast, “the Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath” [v.11] But having said that the Psalm is positive and we read on, “Blessed is the man whom you discipline O LORD, and whom you teach out of your Law” [v.12]. May you and I feel blessed.So we learn, especially in the Psalms, that God's eyes and thoughts are toward those who fear and love Him.  We have been learning in Exodus of how close to God Moses became; we read yesterday of how he was able to speak to God “face to face, as a man speaks to a friend”[33 v.11]  This does not mean physically face to face, but rather, mind to mind.  The limits to physical contact are described in v.20 when God said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”  There is a sense in which the Bible shows us the “face” of God, but only when we prayerfully read it with our heart ‘open' to receive and meditate on its meaning.  How precious it should be to us.  How they longed to read it hundreds of years ago when copies were precious and very expensive because they all had to be hand written and paper was very expensive..  Today the situation is the very opposite and the attitude has become the opposite. Let us not be affected by this, let us “declare (y)our steadfast love” every morning – and throughout every day.

Dr. Jordan Stone preached on Psalm 36.

Send us a text In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down over Matthew 5:7: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” What does Jesus mean by mercy—and how is it different from being permissive, naïve, or a doormat? We explore the Bible's language of mercy, the Old Testament heartbeat of God's steadfast love, and why Jesus places mercy right in the middle of the Beatitudes. In a culture that rewards outrage, shaming, and payback, this episode calls us into a Kingdom way of living where truth and compassion belong together. You'll also get practical, doable steps for practicing mercy—through your words, your relationships, and even your boundaries—so your life can reflect the heart of the Father. Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia
