    Beloved, we live in a world filled with uncertainties—economic shaking, spiritual battles, emotional storms, and unpredictable challenges. But David, a man who faced lions, bears, Goliath, and Saul’s spear, gives us a powerful revelation:

    “THE GOD WHO HIDES, LIFTS, AND ESTABLISHES YOU” Anchor Scripture: Psalm 27:5 (KJV) “For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.” --- INTRODUCTION Beloved, we live in a world filled with ...read more

    A Psalm of true repentance.

    A SPRINKLING WITH HYSSOP. Psalm 51:1-17. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy.
