Trust is a Two-Way Street

A central theme of the Bible is trust. Most passages deal with our need to trust in God. In the book of Psalms alone we find over 70 passages which speak of the writer or someone else placing their trust in God. But have you even given thought to the trust God has placed in men? Since the Beginning in the garden of Eden, God has placed His trust in men. God STILL places His trust in men today, and this is the focus of our study this morning.
