Psalm 40

September 1, 2024

We've all been in situations where we needed rescued. Maybe your situation was dire, maybe it wasn't all that life-threatening. But either way, we know the thrill of deliverance; the joy of rescue. Psalm 40 celebrates the deliverance of God, even though the battle isn't yet won.

Psalm 22

July 7, 2024

Jesus utters these words from the cross: “My God, my God; Why have you abandoned me?” First of all, is that even possible? Can God the Father actually abandon God the Son? No. Is Jesus asking a question looking for answers? No. He knows exactly what is happening. So if it’s not a question, and it’s not even possible - what is Jesus saying and why is he saying it? What if he is pointing to Psalm 22 from the cross?

Psalm 9 & 10

June 16, 2024

Sometimes the things we "know" in our heads isn't how we see things actually work out in reality. And sometimes the Truth we read in the Bible isn't what we see (yet) in our reality. Psalm 9 and 10 are perfect Psalms to help us process through this.

Betrayal, Denial, and Other Temptations

May 14, 2023

We've finally come to the hour of darkness – the betrayal of Judas, the denial of Peter, and the final rejection of the religious leaders. All three are forms of temptation that Jesus warns his disciples to pray "so that they don't fall into."
