Pastor Lowell Nelson teaches through Psalms 111-115: Theology of the Redeemed Praising God’s Faithfulness Part 1 on 7/1/2026 for our Wednesday service.
When anxiety rises and present troubles shake your peace, Psalms 111-115 shows how the redeemed find lasting confidence by praising the God of glory for His unchanging covenant faithfulness.
Redemption Flows from God’s Character in Psalm 111
The works of the Lord are great and meant to be remembered. Looking back at His faithful acts in history brings mental peace when today’s circumstances feel uncertain. Believers gain security not from changing situations but from the God who has already proven Himself trustworthy.
The Redeemed Reflect God’s Image in Psalm 112
Those who fear the Lord and delight in His commands become living reflections of the God who saved them. Blessing is received so that it can shape our character into generosity and righteousness. Faith today means allowing God’s covenant love to transform how we live and treat others.
God Rules Over Heaven and Earth in Psalm 113
Though the Lord dwells on high, He humbles Himself to notice the lowly. No one is too small or overlooked for His care. This truth invites worship and quiet trust even in seasons of feeling unseen or forgotten.
God Rules Over Creation in Psalm 114
When God moved to free His people, the sea fled and the mountains skipped. All creation recognizes the authority of the Redeemer. Hard times lose their power when we remember that the same God who commands nature still rules over every detail of our lives.
God Rules Over Nations and Idols in Psalm 115
Our God is in the heavens and does whatever He pleases, while idols made by human hands remain silent and powerless. True faith turns from empty substitutes to the living God who remembers and blesses those who fear Him.
Final Summary
These psalms call the redeemed to praise the God of glory whose covenant faithfulness never fails. Let this truth challenge you: stop anchoring your peace in today’s changing circumstances. Look back at what God has already done, reflect His character in daily life, and lift your worship to the One who rules over history, creation, and every nation.
