In the Midst of Trials, Make the Eternal God Your Refuge (Sunday Apr 6, 2025)

Trials and difficulties are constant in life. There is no one who is immune to those. But for some, the situations might be more challenging than for others.

God’s names provide a key to God’s nature. In some times of trial, particular names of God might become a revelation that gives us the strength to endure. One of the most definitive names of the LORD is El Olam, The Everlasting God. This revelation came to Abraham in connection with a trying circumstance. Knowing that God never changes and that He knows the end from the beginning could be a revelation that can completely change how we respond to the difficult circumstances we might be in.

Scripture tells us about Paul’s first entry to Macedonia, the first time the gospel entered Europe. This fascinating narrative takes them through a riveting adventure. El Olam is real in Paul and Silas’s situation.

“The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, ‘Destroy!’" Deut 33:27

Listen to this audio message about the revelation of El Olam that could fuel your faithful life in the midst of the challenges that you face.
