Wake Before the Day

"Who has my ear? Who's voice influences my thinking and formation? At the end of the day, everything is done under the gracious supervision of God.  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Receive wisdom and pass it on. Leave a legacy behind you that will last and glorify God! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

This book talks a lot about discipline, often we hear of discipline and think of it as a "bad" thing. Turns out its a great gift! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

God's "word and way" act as guardian and guardrail for our life. Accept, remember and apply God's word to your life today! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Wisdom is not a secret, it is not found in a game of spiritual hide and seek. God is available and wants you to be wise! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

This Psalm begins and ends pointing out God's righteousness - let's call it a righteousness sandwich! The heart of the Psalm tells us to spend time reflecting and meditating on God's past faithfulness, a common theme in this book! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

When we ask for help God we believe God gives us what we need. It might not always be what we wished or hoped for but we trust that God only gives us what is best. Psalm 138 concludes by essentially saying, "God fulfill your purposes in my life!" Let's pray the same for us today! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Psalm 121 holds a special place in our heart. It is one of the first passages of scripture we memorized as a family. It tells us that God not only watches over us but he protects us day and night and in our coming and in our going! Join us as we see what we learn about God and ourselves in this chapter. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

While praise and worship can take many different "shapes and sizes", this Psalm is all about loud shouts of praise and joy filled worship songs. In this podcast we'll discuss who God is and what he has done! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Blessed are those whose hearts are set on pilgrimage! (Psalm 84:5) We were created for a relationship with God, and the Psalmist says those who go through the ups and downs of this life focused on God will be blessed. Let's unpack this encouraging chapter that wraps up reminding us that God doesn't withhold any good thing from those he loves! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www...

The Psalmist names something we have all experienced at some point - envy of those in the world and are successful. We wrestle with the idea that the "grass is greener on the other side" when in reality it rarely is. Let's unpack Psalm 73 together. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

We all go through "wilderness" seasons but we all go through these seasons differently. Is our focus on the Lord or our problems? Regardless of what we're going through King David invites into praise.   @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

In Psalm 51 King David walks us through his confession in light of his adultery with Bathsheeba and the murder of her husband. In the midst of the pain, this Psalm is a beautiful gift for us today as we too need to be walking to continual repentance. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Psalm 40 begins with thanksgiving and ends with lament. It talks about trusting in God and doing his will while pleading for protection from enemies. The Psalmist gives us a reminder to always focus on God's faithfulness, regardless of our circumstances. How has God been faithful in your life? Let's unpack this. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Psalm 32 shows us that confession is a great gift. While it can be terrifying to confront our sin it is definitely a gift and something God calls us to. Join us as we unpack the gift of confession (and food poisoning)! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

In this chapter the Lord and his word are described as: perfect, refreshing, trustworthy, wise, right, joy giving, radiant, pure and eternal. We are to desire God and his word more than "precious gold". The question is do we? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

In Psalm 4, it seems there is chaos breaking out all around the Psalmist. Often when life gets hard we're quick to say, "God help! Change my circumstances!" But in this Psalm, we are encouraged to ask God to change our heart first in the midst of our circumstances. The Psalmist joins Jesus and Paul focusing on prayer directed toward heart change. Let's see what we can learn fro...

Allow the resurrected Jesus Christ to reshape and reform the way you live your life and treat other people! Let's discuss the final chapter of Colossians. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Who doesn't want "peace" in their heart? The Bible seems to talk a lot about "peace", I wonder why we don't experience it more. Colossians 3 teaches us that what we think about and look at greatly impact our lives. When Jesus is in his rightful place everything else seems to fall into place as well.   @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

There is a false humility in the church today with people saying "I don't know" to questions. While the Bible may not speak to every single thing in life it does speak to all that pertains to faith, salvation and a flourishing life with God. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

What's the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation? What does it mean that God has reconciled humanity to himself? Join us as we unpack Colossians 1 and freedom that is now ours in Christ. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Earthly things will rot. Heed the words of Jesus and use your stuff to bless others! Sick? Seek God in prayer and the anointing of oil. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

How do we act when we don't get our way? Clearly the early church was foul mouthed, jealous and bitter about something! If we're honest with ourselves we can relate to some extent. Let's look at James 4 and see what the Lord has for us. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Your words are powerful, more than you may realize! Godly speech and understanding come from a life aligned to God's Word.  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Our lives reveal what we really believe. Our deeds don't save us but our deeds reveal what's really inside us. A genuine faith or imposter syndrome? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la
