Pastor Brent wraps up our 17-week Summer in the Psalms series with Psalm 145. Old Testament scholar James Mays describes this psalm as “the overture to the final movement of the Psalter,” and Psalms 145-150 are symphony of praise to the LORD! The theme of Psalm 145 is testimony: testifying to God’s work, who He is, and what He has done. This acrostic poem of the entire Hebrew alphabet is a “Guide for Testimonies” (vv. 1-7) and an “Example of a Testimony” (vv. 8-21). There is a missional purpose of testimonies, and Pastor Brent offers one chapter of his own testimony from the difficulties of church planting as a young pastor in San Francisco. His lesson learned and offered is to be restful in one’s identity in Christ as the Father’s beloved child in whom He is well pleased (see Matt. 3:17).
