The Morning Prayer Of The Persecuted
Contributed on Jun 21, 2026
As David deals with some form of persecution, he calls out to God in a lament, asking that God would lead him in righteousness.
Forms of persecution: religious ethnic general harassment We can face it at different times and in different ways from different sources. It can be so frustrating to be persecuted because often it’s without reason. Today as we continue our study in the book of psalms, we turn to Psalm 5, a psalm ...read more

Lament For The Libeled: Psalm 4
Contributed on Jun 17, 2026
As David approaches the end of a day, he goes to the Lord in song and urges us to do the same in the face of those who might lie about us.

The Kingdom Of God
Contributed on May 18, 2026
In this final sermon on the book of Luke, we'll walk through each mention of the kingdom in order to glean what we should know about the Kingdom of God according to Luke's gospel
One of the things that has surprised me in our study of the book of Luke is the number of times that the kingdom of God is referenced - over 30 times. Over the course of the last 67 sermons, we have discussed various aspects of the Kingdom of God - what it is, who it entails, how to enter, what ...read more
