ONLY ONE HOPE

12/14/2025

Sermon 5: Responding Biblically to Sinful Actions

Text: Psalm 142

Theme: Finding true peace in a true relationship with God.


What is the one point I am trying to get across?

God is our only hope – especially when being oppressed


Reading this Psalm it seems he has reached the place of hopelessness


? Do you feel hopeless? There is no one that can help you?


I. There is only one to listen (vv. 1-4)


Supplication – to seek for favor or grace


Complain – I think it is meditation


Valuable Psalms: Psa 140:6; 141:1; 143:1; 144:5


? What do you do with your trouble?

? Who do you cry to for help?

 

II. There is only one to help (vv. 5-7)

 

 

Ps 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
