Broken Vessels: Mended by God

Why did King David write in Psalm 23 that the LORD makes him lie down and rest?  Could it be that rest is something we need to do but don't?  I can relate...  What about you?

Happy New Year!  In this new podcast series, I will be going through David's beautiful psalm, Psalm 23: The Lord is My Shepherd.  Probably one of the most well-known passages of scripture, Psalm 23 reveals a loving and caring God as provider, protector, as well as One Who blesses us with His presence.  I hope you enjoy diving deep into this thoughtful psalm of praise.  Music credits: Long Tra...

As we say goodbye to 2020, I discuss the powerful prayer of Jesus in John 11.  As we reflect on the year, did the chaos drive you closer to God in prayer? Did you spend time thanking Him that He heard your prayers?

In this episode, we'll look at the Judges, the Book of Ruth, and the time of King David. It is a fascinating time in Israel's history: A time when the people demanded a King that pleased their eyes instead of a King that pleased their God.  Is this relevant today?  Music credits:  Music from https://filmmusic.io "Dreamy Piano Fantasy - Inspiring Ambient Piano" by Rafael Krux (h...

In this FINAL lesson of HOPE in the Psalms, we look at Psalm 119. Not able to cover this, the longest chapter in the Bible, we will look at a few meaningful verses that show us how to live a life, pleasing to God.

In this episode, we look at Psalm 103. King David wrote this lovely poem of praise to God as an inner dialogue with himself, reflecting on all that God has done for him. Is it wise for the Christian to do the same when trials come?

In this psalm of HOPE, David leads worship to our God after suffering tremendous loss. We can learn a lot from David's response to God after receiving judgment.  Music credits: Reach For The Stars  by Rafael Krux Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5591-reach-for-the-stars- License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Silver Blue Light by Kevin MacLeod License: http://creativecommons.org/...

In this lesson, we look at Psalm 83, a model prayer for Christians.

In this episode, we look at the HOPE found in Psalm 46. This is one of my favorite "go to" Psalms in the Bible. Written with military terminology, the psalmists understood how God is our refuge and tower during attacks by the enemy. Can we relate to this at this time in our lives? I think so.  Source: Psalm 46 commentary (2000). The New King James Study Bible. Ligonier Ministries.  Music...

In this Bible study we will look at 7 Psalms in the Bible. In lesson 1, we read through Psalm 19 and how King David takes us on a journey in God's Creation to God's Word.  It is in God's word where we find eternal HOPE.  And we need a lot of HOPE right now.  Music: Night Walker  by Rafael Krux Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5373-night-walker- License: http://creativecommons.org/lic...

As we finish up this incredible story of the woman at the well, we look at how brave she was to go tell the men of the city what had happened to her and how she used her testimony to bring others to Jesus.  How can we use our testimonies to bring others to Jesus?  Music: Dark Hours  by Rafael Krux Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5626-dark-hours- License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/...

She is confronted with her sin, so she changes the subject to...theology? In this lesson, we see how Jesus goes on to discuss theology with the Samaritan woman. Do you know Whom you worship? Do we know how to worship the holy God of the Bible?

Jesus convicted the Samaritan woman of her sins. God says in His word that He disciplines those whom He loves, like a good father. In this episode, I discuss how God prepares us to be used by Him and sometimes that preparation is painful.

Knowing who Jesus is matters. In this episode, I discuss how the woman at the well asked Jesus if He was greater than Jacob. Together, we look at biblical history and Jesus Himself for the answer to that question.  Music: Bachs Bouree In Celtic Minor by Alexander Nakarada Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5869-bachs-bouree-in-celtic-minor License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Oogi-Wan...

Who was the Woman at the Well? In this episode, I discuss who the woman was and who Jesus was to her...and who He is to us! I pray you are encouraged by these lessons!!  Music: Final Destination by Sascha Ende Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/439-final-destination License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Land Of Tomorrow by AlekSound Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5949-land-of-tomorrow...

Jesus, being weary from His travels, stopped to rest at Jacob's well in Samaria. In this episode, we look at the significance of this well and the water within.

She was a woman of ill repute living in a cursed land. Yet Jesus Himself called out to her and changed her life forever.  I can relate to this woman's story. Can you? In the next few episodes, we will study the story of the woman at the well in John 4.
