https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Psalm 16, a psalm David treasured deeply—and one Peter later uses to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus. David begins by anchoring himself in who God is: his Maker, his Mediator, and his Master. He finds his refuge in God, delights in God’s people, rejects the idols around him, and declares that the Lord Himself is his portio...

Places once associated with exile, captivity, displac...

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Genesis 11, where humanity attempts to build a world without God. Their materials are temporary, their method excludes the Lord, and their motive is pride: “let us make a name for ourselves.” Babel shows us that unity without submission to God is not righteousness—it is organized rebellion.

And Luke makes it unmistakable: all of them were filled, empowered not for spec...

David’s confidence is not in himself; it is in the God who d...
