The Flip Side of the Coin — John Chiafos
John Chiafos preaches from Psalm 119:113-120, exploring the theme of single-minded commitment to God and His Word. He contrasts the psalmist's love for God's law with his hatred for vain, or "double-minded," thoughts, encouraging believers to seek clarity in a confusing world. He shares personal stories and scriptural truths to demonstrate how God's Word is a source of security, guidance, and strength when faced with life's struggles. He then concludes with a sobering call to fear God alone and to live a single-minded testimony that points others to the hope found in Jesus Christ.
