Truth That Lasts
May 3100:39:13Tap to summarizeWhat we hear repeatedly eventually becomes what we believe.In week four of our Imprinted series, Pastor Bobby walks through Psalm 136 and explores the phrase repeated throughout the entire chapter: “His faithful love endures forever.”Through stories of God's faithfulness, the psalm invites us to remember a truth that can easily get drowned out by our circumstances. When life is difficult, disappointment is loud, and questions remain unanswered, what truth are we rehearsing?This message is a reminder that God's love is not determined by our current season. His faithfulness has been constant throughout every chapter of Scripture, and it remains constant in our lives today.
