Still Standing
Summary
Trouble is an inevitable part of life, whether self-inflicted or due to circumstances on a broken planet, but we are called to trust God's promise of preservation, as highlighted in Psalm 138:7-8. The sermon encourages declaring that trouble will not define, embitter, ruin, or overwhelm us, as we are preserved by God's steadfast love. The takeaway is to actively "soak" ourselves in God's love and to pray for those who cause us trouble, following Jesus' example.
