• Psalm 42-43: A Relentless Rescue: The Love That Will Not Quit
    Sep 1 2025

    This week we focus on the unstoppable love of God—a love so powerful that He will go to any length to come and save us. Scripture reminds us that His covenant love does not quit, His rescue does not fail, and His presence does not leave us.

    The heart of the lesson: Jesus’ love finds us, rescues us, and never lets go. Our response is to rejoice and rest in the God who delivers us, trusting that nothing can separate us from His steadfast love.

  • Psalm 139 - Known & Near: Living Before the God Who Sees
    Aug 23 2025

    Psalm 139 invites us into the sweet realization that God is always with us—knowing us completely, surrounding us continually, and shaping us purposefully. In this episode, we explore how God’s constant immanence (His nearness) can sharpen our focus and ignite our passion. From “You have searched me and known me” to “Lead me in the everlasting way,” we learn to live honestly before the Lord who hems us in, holds us fast, and loves us still.

    Opening Questions to Ponder:

    1. Who knows you really well—and how does that knowledge affect you?
    2. What moment or influence quietly redirected your life’s course?
    3. What can you never get enough of (Diet Dr. Pepper, LOTR, ice cream, Jimmy Buffett…)? What does that reveal about desire and delight?

    Big Idea: Let the nearness of God shape your attention and fuel your affection—focus and passion formed by the One who knows and is with you.

  • Psalm 105: Rivers in Dry Places
    Jul 21 2025

    Psalm 105 takes us on a sweeping journey through Israel’s history—packed with plagues, promises, and providence. In this episode, we slow down just enough to reflect on the God who orchestrates all of it. From the highs to the lows, He is always at work, always faithful to His covenant, and always worthy of praise.

    Big Idea: To praise (that is, delight in who God is and what He does) our covenant-keeping God who is sovereign over both the difficulties and delights of our lives.

    Opening Questions:

    1. Which school subject would you cut, and why?
    2. Which one would you add, and why?
    3. Which one would you be sure to keep, and why?

    Whatever your answers, Psalm 105 reminds us that history—yours, mine, and all of ours—is not random. It's authored. It's purposeful. And the Author is good.

  • Psalm 18: Rejoicing in the God Who Delivers
    Jul 21 2025

    Psalm 18 is a powerhouse of praise—a poetic explosion of gratitude to the God who rescues, shields, and strengthens His people. In this episode, we walk (and speed-read!) through this 50-verse celebration of divine deliverance. David’s personal song of salvation becomes our spiritual anthem, reminding us to rejoice and rest in the God who delivers—not because of our goodness, but because of His covenant faithfulness, fulfilled in Jesus.

    Opening Questions:

    1. Serious: When’s a time someone rescued you—or you rescued someone?
    2. Fun: Who’s your dream team to read the entire Bible out loud? (Wrong answers welcome. Think James Earl Jones meets Morgan Freeman... or maybe Gilbert Gottfried.)

    Big Idea: We worship a God who delivers—and in Jesus, His rescue reaches us fully and finally. Let’s learn to rejoice in that rescue, and rest in the Rescuer.

  • Psalm 132: God With Us: Past Promise, Present People, Future Glory
    Jul 14 2025

    Psalm 132 invites us into deep reflection on God’s desire to dwell with His people. Rooted in the memory of David’s longing to build a house for the Lord, the psalm looks back on covenant faithfulness, celebrates God’s presence in the present community, and anticipates the ultimate fulfillment of that promise in Jesus. In this episode, we explore what it means to rejoice in God’s dwelling among us—past, present, and future—and how His presence transforms even the places we least want to go.

    Opening Reflection:

    Where is a place you loved going—and a place you didn’t? What made the difference? In Psalm 132, we find that who is there often matters more than where it is.

  • Psalm 19: The Heavens Declare - Aligning with God's Word
    Jun 16 2025

    Psalm 19 calls us to see the grandeur of God revealed in two powerful ways: through the vastness of creation and the clarity of His Word. In this episode, we reflect on how the skies proclaim God's glory and how Scripture transforms our hearts—inviting us to align our lives with His law by grace through faith in Jesus the Messiah. With connections to Romans 1, the forgiveness of Stephen in Acts 7, and even a leaf in Bluey’s “Born Yesterday,” we explore how awe leads to obedience and how wonder births worship.

  • 1 Psalm 1 Righteous Life
    Jun 2 2025

    We begin our journey through the Psalms with a powerful foundation in Psalm 1. Though only six verses long, it paints a vivid contrast between the righteous and the wicked. The righteous person delights in God’s law, meditates on it day and night, and flourishes like a deeply rooted tree. In this episode, we explore what it means to live a righteous life—grounded in God’s Word, bearing fruit in season, and walking not in step with the world but in step with the Spirit.
