This sermon centers on Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” It challenges the common perception that this verse is simply about peace and quiet, arguing instead that it’s a powerful call to recognize God’s sovereignty, especially in a world full of “cheaters, manipulators, and pretenders.”

This sermon explores the meaning behind the verse, “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,” from Psalm 46. Although Jerusalem has no physical river, the psalmist uses the river as a metaphor for God’s presence, sufficiency, and sustaining power.

This sermon addresses the decline in church attendance and the challenges facing churches today, but encourages believers to have “no fear” because God is their refuge and strength, as described in Psalm 46.
