How do you clean a heart? David shows us in Psalm 51. This psalm records one of the most beautiful prayers in the Bible. It's David bearing his soul, pouring out his heart before God as he seeks divine forgiveness.

In this installment of our series on the psalms, Kade Harris, walks us through Psalm 46 and how to live a life of stillness and knowing our Lord.

Do you love Jesus? Many would answer with a hearty, "Yes." But like the Bee Gees queried, "How deep is your love?" Is your love superficial or sacrificial?

Are you a flash in the pan or do you endure until the end? Walnut Street's Youth & Family Minister challenges us to keep moving forward, especially when times get tough.

Psalm 36 is a reminder that there are two teams—Good and Evil. David knew something about this battle. He played for both teams. He was the hero and the villain. There was a time when he was one of the great warrior kings for TEAM GOD. But then there was a moment in which he forgot who he was and what he was fighting for.

In this latest installment of our series on the psalms, Chris walks us through David's contrite prayer as he seeks God's forgiveness. In this psalm, David teaches you and me how to pray through the guilt and shame. You pray, He forgives. What if it were that easy?

Chris continues his summer series focused on the psalms. In this installment, Chris dissects Psalm 29 & highlights the fact that God is both powerful & personal.

Psalm 22 is about praying through pain. This psalm teaches us how to talk to God when times are tough. David’s prayer is about holding onto the conviction that God is good and He has a redemptive purpose when things look bleak.

David and the afflicted ones are powerless and weak. That’s the takeaway from Psalm 8. However, even though they are powerless and weak, God has chosen to rule the world through them. They are the underdogs who will be top dog. This is what Psalm 8 is all about.

Psalms teach us the language of prayer. They teach us how to pray through our fears. You lay it all out before God. You pray through your emotions in front of God. It’s an intentional processing where you seek to understand the source of your emotions, sort through them, and find how they relate to God. If I’m going to be a follower of Jesus, and cultivate a relationship with him, then I must lear...

Psalms 1 & 2 serve as an introduction to the entire book. Psalm 1 is reflecting on the 2 ways to be human. There’s the person who is like a blossoming tree of life planted by a stream. He doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked. He doesn’t stand in the way of sinners. He doesn’t sit in seat of scoffers. The other is like an empty husk of wheat that just flakes off and blows away. The one who...

WE work out OUR salvation collectively. We do this by being of the same mind and of the same spirit. We do this by submitting to one another. We do this by being on the same page and reading from the same script. This is not something that can be done individually. The context of Paul’s words are within the framework of the church. This is about US not ME.

There is no such thing as a zero-talent individual. Everyone has received something. It may only be one thing, but that single talent is very valuable. You may be a one-talent person, but you may be the only one with that ability. If you don’t use it, then some needed work will go unfulfilled. The Master has not left any of us with empty pockets.

One of our shpeherds at the Walnut Street Church of Christ, Scott Woodard, gives us some things to ponder related to what we leave behind. Everyone will be remembered for something? How will you be remembered.

God doesn’t need your money. It’s not about the money to God. So, we don’t start with money. We don’t start with the amount. We don’t start with the obligation. We start where Paul starts. We start with GRACE.

In this installment, Walnut Street's Connections Minister delivers a lesson focused on how GOd communicates with His people and the distinction between A word and THE word.

Chris begins a new series on giving with the forst lesson focusing on the value we assign to Jesus. How much is Jesus worth to you?

Chris Hedge delivers a powerful lesson on the need for unity and togetherness in the church & how the Lord's body is at her best when everyone is on the same page working toward the same goal.

WHY DOES WORSHIP MATTER? Because it affects how we relate to God, His creation, to ourselves, and to others. Worship keeps life in proper order. Failure to worship disrupts God’s rhythm. We need to view all of life through the lens of worship. Worship should affect you, not just on Sunday but every day that ends in “y.” This is your tuning fork, you’re pitch pipe, your metronome. We come together...

Fasting is a biblical topic, and anytime we study a biblical topic we need to do our best to discern and apply what scripture has to say on the subject. So, when it comes to fasting, the question we’re tempted to ask is, “Why did people in the Bible fast?” But maybe the better question is, “Why don’t people today fast?”

Mark Gooch, a deacon at Walnut Street, delivers a great lesson centered around the question, What Now? Once you become a child of God, once you have been washed clean from your sins, what's the next step?

In Luke Chapter 11, the disciples witness Jesus praying and one of them says, “Lord, teach us to pray (v. 1).” Had they never prayed before? That’s highly unlikely. Prayer was an integral part of the Jewish lifestyle. But what Jesus was doing was different. They weren’t witnessing a habit or a ritual. They saw a relationship, and they wanted what Jesus had. I want that as well. I hope you do too....

Walnut Street's Connections Minister, Chad Garrett, gives a lesson from 2 Corinthians 3:3 and encourages us to make personal application.

TO BE BIBLE-BASED IS TO BE PEOPLE OF THE PERSON, NOT PEOPLE OF THE PRINT. As Christ-followers, we are not merely people of the book. We are, ultimately, people of the Person. The book points us to the Person.

God has been honest with us in telling us that there will be trouble in this life. This life is hard. But God has also made us a promise. There is hope on the horizon. There is a glorious future awaiting us. It’s like we’re exiles on this planet, but some day we will get to go home. If Jeremiah teaches us anything, he teaches us how to live as exiles in a foreign land.
