A Mighty Fortress Is Our God: Psalm 46

3 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This sermon series spends three weeks reflecting on Psalm 46’s worshipful meditation on God as our refuge. The ESV places a pause (Selah) at the end of Psalm 46:1–3, 4–7, and 8–11, so each week we’ll spend time in one stanza of this worship song. This psalm inspired Martin Luther’s hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” Each week will also offer a thought or two about his song.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 3 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
