In this powerful message from Pastor James at Willard Church of The Nazarene, we explore the richness of Psalm 46—a declaration of God’s presence, strength, and sovereignty in times of crisis.
Drawing from the story of King Hezekiah facing the Assyrian threat, Pastor James reminds us that when the earth gives way and the enemy presses in, Jehovah Sabaoth—the Lord of Hosts—is our fortress.
