An Enduring Promise

Aug 9

This sermon, delivered by Rev. Dr. Alvin J. Gwynn Jr. at Historic Leadenhall Baptist Church, reflects on Psalm 34:1-3 (NKJV) emphasizes that being anointed with a divine purpose (as David was) does not exempt an individual from experiencing significant life pressure or problems.

The Response to Fear: Rev. Gwynn teaches that fear can press us, but it does not have to possess us. He outlines three key lessons from the text:
1. Remember what fear does: Recognize its impact on the mind.
2. Resolve to bless the Lord anyway: Maintain praise regardless of circumstances.
3. Seek God for deliverance: Rely on the promise that the Lord hears the cry of the righteous and delivers them from the fear of their problems

While we may encounter life's pressures and problems, we are built to fight when we stand on the promises of God

Scripture: Psalm 34:1-8 (NKJV)

1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.

4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The [a]angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
