The Psalter of Jesus: Trust or Bust // Psalm 23 Artwork

The Painted Door Church - Chicago

The Painted Door Church is church family that gathers in Chicago, IL. We are a people who share the same story; we are sinner, saved by grace. We draw our name from the Exodus account in the Hebrew Scriptures, when God spared his people from judgement, passing over all homes that had the blood of a spotless lamb painted across their doorways. Jesus is the new spotless lamb, his death on a Roman cross sparing the people of God from judgment once for all. He reconnects us to our Maker and to each other and invites us to participate in his grand work of restoring all things.

The Psalter of Jesus: Trust or Bust // Psalm 23

October 09, 2016 • Pastor Mark Bergin

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

— Corrie ten Boom

We know far less about the world and our lives than we admit to others or even ourselves. We prefer to pretend that with enough careful observation and rational thought, we can discern the dangers and opportunities around us. In fact, our condition is far more desperate than that. We are as drivers caught in a dense fog with only the next few yards of road lines visible ahead. To depend on only what we can see will bring sure ruin. But we are not alone in this journey. The Lord of the fog is with us and for us. He makes no promise that he will burn away the mist to grant us clarity, nor that he will clear obstacles to spare us from calamity. What he does promise is to love us, preserve us, and finally lead us home. No fables. No propaganda. Just trustworthy promises from a trustworthy God.
