Judge Me.
Judge me. God will judge you. David says both things in our look at Psalm 7 today. Can we say the same things today? Let’s take a look at Psalm 7 together today and find out.
Repentance Is a Safe Place
Is David begging in this psalm for forgiveness? Do you need to beg for forgiveness? We continue our study of Psalms today with Psalm 6, our first penitential psalm.
Who Can Show Me Any Good
David quotes a saying of despair among his followers when he says “Who can show us any good?” The cause for despair is people, even friends, attacking him verbally and scheming to physically. Attacking me is attacking God! This is David’s claim. Can you claim the same? Listen to today’s message to find the answer. Our study of the book of Psalms continues today in Psalm 4.
Kings of the earth, and the King of the Earth
Are your plans important? Do they matter compared to God’s plans? Let’s look to Psalm 2 for the answer.
Thrive Like a Tree
Today we begin our study of the book of Psalms in the coming months. We begin today with Psalm 1. What does it mean to have a stubborn faith? What is a stubborn faith mean for growth in faith?
What to Do?
What does God want me to do next? Do you struggle with this question? Believe it or not, I don’t think this is a helpful question to ask yourself. I believe this question is flawed from the start and is setting yourself up to fail. Why? Let’s take a look at King Saul and find out. We continue our study of the book of 1st Samuel today in chapter 11.
A Better Kingdom
Saul immediately failed expectations when he was anointed king of Israel. Politicians and politics regularly fail our expectations; this is why our primary identity is not in any political party, and our primary hope is not in a candidate or elected official. Our identity is in Christ. Our hope is in Christ. We continue our study today of the book of first Samuel in chapter 9 and 10 today.
Unlikely Justice
Be careful what you ask for; you just might get it, especially justice. God’s justice is to punish Christ. Our study of the book of 1st Samuel continues today in chapter 8.
Two Battles
How can you reach a point of saying “Thus far the Lord has helped me” after suffering, tragedy, or trauma? We continue our study of the book of 1st Samuel today in chapter 7.
Slay Our Idols, Show Your Glory
When do we worship idols? Politics, jobs, children; anything easily becomes an idol until God mercifully slays our idol and draws us back to his forgiveness and love. We continue our study of the book of 1st Samuel, today in chapters five and six.
