Welcome to Monticello Baptist Church online! We’re grateful you’re worshiping with us today as we continue our DECLARE series through Psalm 145.

This Sunday, Pastor David Artessa will bring a message titled “Declare God’s Nearness” from Psalm 145:17–20. Over the past several weeks, we’ve declared God’s greatness, His mighty works, His gracious character, His everlasting kingdom, and His faithful care. Now David brings this Psalm to a deeply personal conclusion by reminding us that the God who reigns over all is also near to those who call upon Him. 

Psalm 145 assures us that the Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His works. He hears the cries of His people, fulfills the desires of those who fear Him, and preserves those who love Him. Even when circumstances or emotions make God feel distant, His presence remains faithful and true.

As we gather in worship through song, prayer, and the preaching of God’s Word, our prayer is that this service will encourage your heart and remind you that the Lord is near to all who call upon Him in truth.
