Join John MacArthur, a veteran Bible teacher and pastor known for his expository preaching, as he dives into Psalm 107. He illustrates four vivid pictures of God’s redeeming grace: the lost pilgrim finding direction, the prisoner set free, the sick person restored, and the storm-tossed sailor guided to safety. Each story highlights the connection between desperation and divine intervention, culminating in a powerful call for gratitude and worship from all who have been redeemed.

Episode notes
Fourfold Structure Of Redemption
- Psalm 107 uses four vivid rescue metaphors to explain God's redemption of sinners.
- Each illustration follows a pattern: predicament, petition, pardon, and praise.
Rescued Wanderers Headed To Heaven
- The first picture is of aimless wanderers rescued and led straight to an inhabited city.
- MacArthur identifies the city as heaven and the straight way as the way of grace, not works.
Come Empty-Handed And Cry Out
- Do come to God in desperation without offering works, since MacArthur stresses redemption is by grace alone.
- He repeatedly emphasizes that crying out to God is sufficient for deliverance.
