These are the eight keynotes that the singer of this psalms plays over and over. (nearly every verse has one of them and many sections use all 8!) So if you want to sing this song and experience it’s transforming power you have to tune your heart and mind to appreciate the nuances of these…

Today’s Text: Psalm 119:1-8  Today’s Song: He Will Hold Me Fast  Notes:  Verses 1-8 lay the foundation upon which the entire Psalm will be built.  It is built on a rock-solid commitment to walking in the way of blessing, and it is built upon a rock-solid commitment to seeking the Lord.  Questions to Consider: We need to believe confidently…

How to be a biblical bourbon barrel: Today’s Text: Psalm 119   Today’s Song: As The Deer  Notes:  Today we begin a new series on Psalm 119.  Our goal is to help you become a biblical bourbon barrel.  What does that mean?  Listen to find out 🙂 

God’s word is intrinsically valuable and existentially desirable….that is it…that is all I want to say today.

Today’s Text: Psalm 19:11-14  Today’s Song: May the Words of My Mouth  Notes:  Today we hear the third voice: the voice of the Lord’s servant.  He tells us about the great benefits of studying the law and offers his life as a living sacrifice to God. 

Today’s Text: Psalm 19:7-9  Today’s Song: Thy Word  Notes:  Today we look at the five different words for the Word.  What are the words for the word? 1. Law – Torah; instruction; – Much more than legal regulations or stipulations (fatherly instruction) 2. Testimony:  – What God bears witness about himself; his truth and his requirements; &#823...

The Gift of the Word. These three verses paint a composite picture of a person who has been transformed by the word. Your soul is revived. Your mind is sharp. Your heart is joyful. Your eyes are clear. Your feet are strong. That is a good way to live.

Today’s Text: Psalm 19 Today’s Song: This is My Father’s World  Notes:  Today we begin a series on Psalm 19. In this Psalm, we hear three voices, singing in harmony about the glory of the Lord’s revelation.  CS Lewis said this was the most perfect poem he had ever read.  Psalm 19 is one of the great “Word”…

Today’s Text: Psalm 37:3, 9, 11, 18, 22, 27, 29, 34    Today’s Song: This is My Father’s World Notes:  Psalm 37 is all about inheriting the land. But when Jesus quotes it, he says “earth.” Why?  Does He misquote it? Is he playing fast and loose with the scripture?  No. Earth and land are two sides of…

Today’s Text: Psalm 37:4   Today’s Song: Give Me Jesus  Notes:  Psalm 37:4  What a God we serve, who commands us to delight!  And then gives us what we desire! 

Psalm 37 is essential background music for the Beatitudes. So today we will begin an extended look at it. Today is an introduction.

Today’s Text: Matthew 11:25-30  Today’s Song:  Notes:  What does it mean to be meek? As with all of the Beatitudes, Jesus is our ultimate example and we see that example in chapters 11 and 12. 

Today’s Text: Matthew 5:5 Today’s Song: Come to the alter Notes:  What is your strategy for world domination? If you were going to try your hand at world conquest, how would you go about it?  Or maybe, you don’t want to take over the world…you just want your worldto operate smoothly. How do you go about that?  Listen in, and…

Today’s Text: Revelation 21:1-5 1   Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard…

All of the beatitudes are counter-cultural. But for us, Blessed are those who mourn, might be the strangest of them all. So what does Jesus mean? How can mourning ever be good? It is good if it leads to repentance. So today we look at Psalm 51 to discover how we can experience “good mourning.””

Today’s Text: John 15:1-10  Today’s Song: I Surrender All  Notes:  Today we look at another illustration fo what it means to be poor in Spirit.  When Jesus says: Apart from me, you can do nothing. He means it. And the poor in spirit joyfully embrace it. 

Today’s Text: Luke 7:1-10Today’s Song: Before the Throne  Notes:  Today we look at one of the best examples of what it means to be poor in spirit: The Roman centurion.  His faith causes Jesus to marvel. Does yours?

Before the Beatitudes can paint a picture of us, we have to see them as a picture of Him. Jesus is the ultimate example of what it means to be poor in spirit. Be encouraged by Him today!

Your soul is a lot like real estate. The three most important things are: location, location, and location. Psalm. 1:3    He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.in all that he does, he prospers. Song: Holy, Holy, Holy  Notes:  Today we…

Psa. 1:3    He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.in all that he does, he prospers. Song: Be Thou My Vision  Notes:  The great promise of Psalm 1 is that you can be fruitful in every season.  What season are you…

Today we do a little exercise in meditation. Here is how it goes: Repeat the verse or phrase with emphasis on a different word each time. E.g., John 2:5: Whatever He says to you, do it. Whatever He says to you, do it. Whatever He says to you, do it. Whatever He says to you, do it. Whatever He says to you, do it. Whatever…

If you want to be happy…don’t do this: Psalm 1 Psa. 1:1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; Song: I Need Thee Every Hour Notes:  The Psalm, just like the sermon on the mount both…

Today we begin a new series on the Psalms. The sermon on the mount will challenge our minds, and the Psalms will encourage our hearts. And a good place to begin is in the beginning. So we will begin with Psalm 1. And interestingly enough, a book dedicated to prayer does not begin with prayer.…

Those who once rejected Jesus are now receptive…why? Song: Turn your eyes upon Jesus  Notes:  Today we wrap up our look at a few scenes from the gospel of Mark.  Here we return to a location that Jesus has been before. The first time he came to them, they were rude. But now they are…

Song: Nothing But The Blood  Notes:  Today we see another case study of Jesus bringing healing, but this time it is in response to the faith of others.  Here we see that just because we have to be socially distant does not mean we have to be spiritually distant.
