Listen "Psalm 49 Faith not fortune"
Episode Synopsis
This sermon, drawn from Psalm 49, delivers a sobering yet hopeful message about the futility of trusting in wealth and the enduring value of faith in God. It exposes the moral folly of those who place their confidence in riches, believing they can secure favor with God or achieve eternal permanence through material abundance, only to find that such wealth cannot redeem the soul or prevent death. The preacher highlights the danger of this worldly mindset, not only for the rich but for all who allow the pursuit of wealth to dominate their hearts, warning that such trust leads to spiritual blindness and eventual ruin. In contrast, the psalmist calls for faith in God's sovereign redemption, affirming that true security lies not in earthly possessions but in the promise of resurrection and eternal life secured by Christ's blood. The sermon concludes with a call to live with eternal perspective, using worldly goods wisely while fixing one's affections on heavenly things, and to engage in worship that teaches wisdom, admonishes the soul, and strengthens faith.
