God and Me, Part 2
Concluding a two-part series on Psalm 139, this sermon explores how and why God knows each person so intimately. Building on the first sermon's foundation that God knows us completely and is with us everywhere, the pastor turns to verses 13 through 24 to answer the deeper question of how God knows us so well: because He is our Creator. David's poetic language of knitting and forming in the womb reveals that God's knowledge of us is not merely informational but deeply personal and intimate. The sermon addresses three universal human questions -- where do we come from, what are we, and where are we going -- and answers them through the lens of the psalm: we are formed by God, we are fearfully and wonderfully made and precious to Him, and He leads us in the way everlasting. The sermon also addresses the psalm's sharp turn toward expressions of hatred for God's enemies, framing it not as personal vengeance but as a declaration of allegiance to God, balanced by the call of Christ to love and pray for enemies. It concludes with David's posture of humility in verse 23, inviting God to search his own heart, and with the assurance that in Christ there is no condemnation for those who belong to Him.
