Psalm 91 is about a trusting and faithful person who affirms their status as safe and secure even during a time of calamity and distress. 
We serve a God who is a shelter, fortress, refuge, and more. 
For the believer, this status all begins in The Secret Place.

Back in the day, Michael Jordan was almost universally known as the greatest of all time in college and professional basketball. 

When the game was on the line and there was only one shot left to win, you wanted the ball in Jordan’s hands. 

He was going to make sure his team won.

The final words of Christ on the cross are words expressing full trust: 

“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” 

What a powerful moment when all the results of what happens next are put into the hands of someone else! 

Jesus had full confidence that His Father would “make the shot.” 

He trusted not only that His Father would not let Him decay in a tomb, but He would win eternity for everyone who puts the ball in His hands. 

Whose hands are you putting your life into with full trust?

This is Palm Sunday, when we remember and celebrate the day Jesus entered Jerusalem as Savior and King. 

The disciples who followed His instructions that day set into motion the greatest events ever recorded in history.

It was An Act of Trust.

At least a couple times, we can find in the letters of the Apostle Paul that he compares his life of faith to running a race. 

Additionally, in the twelfth chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews, we read that we too are in a race. 

The goal is not simply to run but to win. This race has a prize. 

Join us for the final part of this sermon series.

It’s easy to get frustrated when we are not where we want to be in life. 

When we don’t see our God-given dreams coming to pass, we must patiently wait on the Lord and trust that He is working on our behalf—even if we can’t see it. 

Join us as we continue examining the story of Joseph to unpack the Characteristics of a Dreamer.
