Psalm 139 - Cece Cox (Week 1)

South City C3 6PM

In this series, we will be looking at the book of Psalms and its revelation of God. We live in a world that is continuously rattled by anxiety. Everything seems uncertain. But anxiety is not a new human emotion; rather it has always been felt. Every person alive has had to contend for peace of mind and heart. We believe that God is the only source of true peace and pondering God’s greatness and intimate care of us, as displayed in the Psalms, is a sure way to build a trust in Him that conquers all fear.

In this message, Cece explores this well known Psalm and shows that our trust in God cannot happen without being vulnerable before Him.
