  • Summer In The Psalms: Wholly, Holy Known
    Jun 29 2025

    Listen along as The Rev. Dr. Robyn Michalove offers a profound reflection on Psalm 139.1–14, which describes the truth of being wholly known by God. The psalmist acknowledges that God sees and understands every part of them—their thoughts, words, actions, and even unspoken intentions—before they take shape. This intimate knowledge extends beyond physical location; no matter where the psalmist goes, God’s presence is already there. The psalmist is in awe of the God who not only surrounds them but also formed them with care and intention in the womb. Being "fearfully and wonderfully made" is tied to the comfort and awe of being fully seen, fully understood, and fully loved.

    The theme of being wholly known brings both humility and security, as the psalmist realizes they are never hidden from God’s gaze—from beginning to end.

  • Summer In The Psalms: Planted or Potted?
    Jun 23 2025

    Listen along as The Rev. Dr. Josh Stewart teaches on Psalm 1 which contrasts the way of the righteous with the way of the wicked. It opens by declaring blessed those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked but delight in God's law, meditating on it day and night. Such people are like trees planted by streams of water—fruitful, resilient, and prosperous. In contrast, the wicked are like chaff blown away by the wind; they will not stand in judgment or belong to the community of the righteous. The psalm concludes by affirming that the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, while the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

    This psalm serves as a wisdom introduction to the entire Book of Psalms, highlighting the importance of choosing a life grounded in God’s instruction.

  • Trinity Sunday - June 15. 2025
    Jun 18 2025

    Listen along as The Rev. Dr. Michael Waschevski teaches on John 3.1-10 which recounts a nighttime conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council. Nicodemus acknowledges that Jesus must be from God because of the signs He performs. Jesus responds by teaching that no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are "born again" (or "born from above"). Confused, Nicodemus asks how someone can be born again when they are old. Jesus explains that this new birth is spiritual, not physical—being born of water and the Spirit. He rebukes Nicodemus for not understanding, especially as a teacher of Israel. The passage emphasizes the necessity of spiritual rebirth for salvation and understanding God's kingdom.
