#35
Last Monday at 1:57 AM

In this week’s message, we rejoice in the truth that Christ has set us free. Before we can live in victory, we must first lift our voices in praise for the liberty we have in Jesus Christ. True freedom is not found in self or society, but in the finished work of the cross. From God’s Word we discover three vital truths about our freedom in Christ.

'' If it had not been for the Lord''
#14
06/19/2025

Outline and Notes:

David likely wrote Psalm 124 after a great deliverance from God. Bro. Edward Reese places it after 1 Chronicles 28:11–21.

As a Psalm of Ascent, it was sung by worshippers traveling to Jerusalem—David himself longed to worship and wanted others to join him.

We, too, as New Testament believers, have experienced great deliverance—our redemption through Jesus Christ.

David recognized that without God, Israel would have been overrun. Their survival was solely because of the Lord.

This psalm is a powerful reminder:

“If it had not been the...
