Praise the Lord for His Sovereignty and Mighty Deeds. Psalm 135 is a call to wholehearted praise, summoning the servants
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Jesus Christ.
John 1:17

The Great Works of the LORD and the Fear of the LORD as the Beginning of Wisdom.
Psalm 111 is a reverent hymn of praise that exalts the works, character, and covenant faithfulness of the LORD. It declares that God’s deeds are great, righteous, trustworthy, and worthy of careful study by all who delight in Him. The psalm emphasizes that the LORD provides for His people, remembers His covenant, and reveals His power through His works. It also affirms that true wisdom begins with the fear of the LORD, and that obedience flows from reverence for Him. The chapter calls believers to move beyond casual admiration into thoughtful meditation, grateful remembrance, and faithful obedience.
Psalms 111:1 – 111:10
1 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord [are] great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord [is] gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.
10 The fear of the Lord [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…
In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;
In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;
That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;
In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;
In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
