3 different applications: what do we trust in, how to view our leaders, and what it means that Jesus is our King.
Today we have the privilege of working through Psalm 20. This psalm is a little different from most that we've studied so far. The only one sort of like it, up to this point, is Psalm 2. This is a song that would've sung by the congregation-- by Israel-- for its Davidic king. Picture ...read more

As we watch Jesus deliver this sick woman from the bondage of her sickness, we get a picture of what He can do for us, if we will wait on Him! This woman waited 18 years for her healing and the Bible records that it happened while she was in the House of Prayer on the day of Worship.

“The LORD is my shepherd.” “I am the Good Shepherd.” “I am Jesus’ little lamb, Ever glad at heart I am.” Generations of believers have loved those kinds of descriptions of God’s love for them and of their relationship to God through faith in Jesus. Shepherd and sheep. Sheep and shepherd. ...read more
