·32 min·3 clips

Hosier links Psalm 91's rescue promises to Jesus' crucifixion, showing how the cross demonstrates God's love.

This episode is a sermon by Matthew Hosier from Gateway Church, delivered on Easter Sunday, April 5th, 2026. It concludes a three-part series on Psalm 103, specifically examining the final pairing of benefits: satisfaction and renewal. Hosier begins by acknowledging potential feelings of dissatisfaction and weariness among listeners, setting up the need for soul alignment. He references the Rolling Stones' song 'Satisfaction' to contrast worldly frustration with spiritual fulfillment. The host defines satisfaction as 'joy at rest' and explains that true satisfaction comes only from God, differentiating between worldly and spiritual appetites. Biblical examples are drawn from Psalms 90, 91, 104, and 145 to show God's ability to satisfy desires. Hosier ties these promises to Jesus, highlighting the crucifixion as proof of God's love and the resurrection as evidence of His trustworthiness. He cites Jesus feeding the 5,000 and Isaiah 55's prophecy to demonstrate Jesus' capacity to satisfy all. The sermon then addresses renewal 'like the eagles,' interpreting it through Isaiah 40 as spiritual strength for believers, even in physical frailty. Hosier cautions against over-spiritualizing, linking renewal to the bodily resurrection promised in Christianity, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15. The message culminates in an invitation to lay hold of these benefits through faith, with a closing prayer emphasizing the historical reality of the empty grave and eternal hope.
