Psalm 148: Praise the Lord from Heaven and Earth Psalm 148 calls all creation to praise the Lord because His name alone is exalted and His glory fills heaven and earth. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins explains how Psalm 148 summons the heavens above, the earth below, every person, and especially God’s people to praise the Lord.

God alone is exalted, and His majesty is above heaven and earth.

Psalm 146: Trusting the Lord Above Every Earthly Hope

In this sermon from Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins preaches from Psalm 146 and explains why believers must place their ultimate trust in the Lord rather than in earthly rulers, institutions, or human strength. Psalm 146 calls Christians to lifelong praise, confident hope, and steadfast trust in the God who reigns forever and faithfully cares for His people.This message considers the danger of misplaced trust, the temptation of political idolatry, the faithfulness of God, and how Psalm 146 points us to Jesus Christ, the eternal King who alone saves sinners.Listen and WatchSermon SummaryPsalm 146 opens with a personal call to worship: “Praise the Lord, O my soul.” Before calling others to praise God, the psalmist first directs his own heart toward the Lord. True worship begins with recognizing God's greatness, faithfulness, and worthiness of praise.The psalm then warns believers not to place their ultimate trust in princes, rulers, or human strength. Human leaders are temporary, limited, and unable to save. Their plans perish, their power fades, and their lives come to an end. While Christians should pray for leaders and participate responsibly in society, Psalm 146 reminds us that our ultimate hope must never rest in any earthly authority.In contrast to the limitations of man, the Lord is the Creator of heaven and earth who keeps faith forever. He executes justice for the oppressed, provides for the needy, and remains faithful to every promise He has made. Because God never changes, believers can face uncertainty with confidence and hope.The psalm concludes by celebrating God's compassionate care for His people and His eternal reign. The Lord lifts up the humble, watches over the vulnerable, and rules forever. His kingdom never ends, His authority never fails, and His faithfulness remains constant through every generation.Ultimately, Psalm 146 points us to Jesus Christ, the eternal King. Human leaders cannot save sinners, but Christ alone redeems, restores, and reigns forever. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus provides the hope and salvation that no earthly ruler can ever offer.Key TakeawaysThe Lord alone is worthy of lifelong praise.Human leaders cannot bear the weight of our ultimate trust.God remains faithful to all His promises.The Lord cares for the weak, vulnerable, and needy.Jesus Christ is the eternal King who alone saves sinners.Believers can trust God completely because He reigns forever.More from Walking Through the PsalmsExplore more sermons in the Walking Through the Psalms series at https://servantsofgrace.org/category/sermons/psalms/.Subscribe to the Servants of Grace YouTube channel for more biblical teaching, expository preaching, and theology resources: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace.

Thank you for your devotion and passion for God’s Truth in the Bible. I haven’t been listening to your podcasts very long but I deeply appreciate your Passion and Clarity. I started listening to your evaluation of “new age” Christianity because of my own discernment of false teachers like R. Rohr. Many counselors = Wisdom. I struggle to grow, as we all do. Blessings.
