Psalm 115
Talk Summary
In a world filled with awe-inspiring moments—from new gadgets to unforgettable concerts and long-awaited retirement dreams—we’re constantly drawn to glory. But Psalm 115 invites us to redirect our awe to the one who truly deserves it: the Lord.
This thanksgiving Psalm reminds us that we were made to glorify God, not ourselves or the idols we so easily serve. It shows the emptiness of false gods—lifeless like mannequins—and calls us to trust the living God, who sees, speaks, helps, blesses, and protects.
On a day of honouring mothers and families, we’re invited to lift our eyes higher to the God who made us all and who, in Jesus, embodied glory with hands, feet, a voice, and sacrificial love.
Big Idea: We’re made to glorify God—not ourselves or idols—and find joy and purpose in trusting and praising him.
