In this sermon titled "Trust in the Lord," Caleb Hickman addresses the doctrine of divine trust anchored in the immutability and truthfulness of God, as illustrated in Proverbs 22:15-29. He argues that societal deceit and human pride challenge one's ability to trust, insisting that true hope lies solely in the unchanging promises of God, which cannot lie. Scripture references, particularly Proverbs 3:5-6 and various passages exploring the nature of salvation, reinforce the idea that true faith is a gift from God that transcends human effort or understanding. The sermon's practical significance revolves around emphasizing reliance on God's sovereign choice in salvation and the vital importance of trusting Him completely, rather than any works or self-righteousness.
“If I'm trusting man, I'm trusting the flesh, I'm trusting my works, or am I trusting the Lord?”
“We trust his choice because our flesh would not choose him.”
“Our problem in the flesh is our depravity. It causes us to look at things that are physical.”
“How do I know if I'm a believer? He's made me to believe.”
The Bible encourages believers to trust in the Lord with all their heart, as stated in Proverbs 3:5-6.
