Psalm 117
Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible, but its message is global and powerful: all nations are called to worship the LORD. In this episode, we explore what it means to worship, why the LORD alone is worthy, and how His steadfast love and faithfulness invite every people, tribe, and tongue to praise Him. From ancient idols to modern hearts, true worship belongs to the One who never changes—Jesus, the LORD of all.
詩篇117篇
詩篇117篇是聖經中最短的一章，但卻帶有最宏大的信息：萬國都被呼召來敬拜耶和華。在本集信息中，我們一起探討敬拜的真正意義、為什麼唯有耶和華配得敬拜，以及祂堅定的慈愛和信實如何邀請萬民、萬族、萬方一同讚美祂。從古代偶像到現代人心，真正的敬拜只屬於那位永不改變的主—耶穌基督。
