Trouble is a common part of life, but God remains our shield, our glory, and the lifter of our heads. Pastor Tom encourages believers to respond to trials not with fear, but with faith, trust in God's protection, and confidence in His ultimate victory.

In "The Playlist of Life Part 2," Pastor Tom Van Kempen teaches from Psalm 2, emphasizing that the world’s rebellion against God stems from pride and leads people down the wrong path. He contrasts this with the hope found in surrendering to Jesus, the anointed King, who offers blessing, safety, and eternal purpose to those who trust and worship Him.

True happiness is found not by pursuing it directly, but by walking in God's ways and delighting in His Word, as introduced in Psalm 1. He contrasts the path of the righteous with the path of the wicked, urging believers to stay rooted in Scripture to experience lasting joy, stability, and spiritual fruitfulness.
