Dive into the Word of God with Pastor Ollie Bergh to see how this short prayer (which Luther taught!) can enrich our prayer lives.

God is King of All The Earth | Psalm 47

Welcome back to The Psalmcast with Pastor Ollie Bergh where we embark on a journey through the majestic corridors of Psalm 47, a royal anthem celebrating the kingship and kingdom of God. Join us as we explore the coronation imagery embedded in this psalm, imagining Archbishop Justin Welby's proclamation of "God save the king!" transformed into a call to acclaim our divine Sovereign. Through historical insights and theological reflections, we unveil the profound significance of crowning God as King of our hearts, inviting listeners to participate in the eternal narrative of God's reign. As we delve into the depths of Psalm 47, we discover the wisdom of enthroning God in our hearts, echoing the faith of ancient patriarchs like Abraham. So, let's clap our hands, shout with joy, and join in the exuberant praise of our King who reigns over all the earth. Let us pray with awe and gratitude, for our God is awesome, and His kingdom is everlasting.
