EP.58 - I shall not be moved 31:29

3d ago31:29

31:29

Psalm 62 shows us a few "only"s that we need to take note of. David found that only God could provide some of the things he needed. Our recognition of the "only"s we need in our lives is made apparent to us according to our perception of the presence of God.

EP.56 - Valiant in Tragedy 35:54

18d ago35:54

35:54

This Psalm is written on the heels of a great tragedy in Israel. It's easy to get in the mindset that tragedy strikes as punishment for a fault in our lives. What we must realize is that in a sin-cursed world, sometimes tragedy touches our lives because of living in a sin-cursed world. When we face tragedy, can we approach it valiantly (with great …

25d ago31:07

31:07

In Psalm 58 & 59, David speaks of corruptness in high places and attacks from all sides in his own country. Sound familiar? What did he do? What can we do? What we know of David is that he was a man of war but also the apple of God's eye. Is it possible to be both today? As Christians should we be waging war on the behalf of our Savior? We are in a…

1M ago34:39

34:39

As we look at Psalm 57, David finds himself in a cave after his fateful trip to Goliath's hometown. Hiding out.

As we look at our lives today and a world fi…

1M ago30:35

30:35

Psalm 56 thrusts us into the life of David regarding his first trip to Gath, where he had to fake insanity to leave the city alive. What we find is that is is a beautiful reminder of how God hears our cries and has secured victory in our lives. It gives us assurance that while our enemies are many - and more powerful than us - that they are not mor…

35:00

In Psalm 52, 53 & 54, we find a common theme. David speaks of the wicked and the contrasting righteous. In light of where we see the wicked and their hopelessness, their condemnation, should we not rejoice the greater knowing that that is exactly what God has saved us from? Can we look at their blindness and remember when we were in their shoes and…

2M ago35:50

35:50

Psalm 50 is a wonderful song penned by Asaph, one of David's worship leaders. Asaph writes of God's call to worship. why we should worship him, and then tells us that worship falls into 3 categories.

2M ago37:27

37:27

In Psalm 49, the psalmist gives us a glimpse into what money can actually buy for us. Hint: It's not eternity.

In the glory of the Resurrection, there is …

3M ago1:38:18

1:38:18

On this episode, Kyle and Tom discuss the 2nd commandment - Thou shalt not make any graven image. Is this a repeat or furtherance of the first commandment? Is it a standalone? What does it mean?

4M ago31:34

31:34

5M ago33:59

33:59

In Psalm 40, David provides a simple guide for exponential Christian growth: Patience. More even than patience, we have to learn to lean on Him, to call out to Him.

30:46

This week we have a first - 2 Psalms in one episode! Psalm 38 & 39 share a very important instruction amidst David's lament for his failures, for his sins.

5M ago34:33

34:33

In Psalm 37, David challenges us with getting angry with the wicked and maybe even angry at God when we see them just sinning and yet prospering. Why do we suffer and they seem to not?

5M ago29:35

29:35

David takes us from the wickedness of the wicked to the goodness of God in a single Psalm.

EP.36 - The struggle is real - so is God's victory 31:20

6M ago31:20

31:20

Psalm 35 finds David calling on God to fight against his enemies for him. There is a great lesson here in how we can be hesitant at times to ask for the same. So often we want God to just keep our "enemies" of temptation merely at arms length from us, instead of asking him to vanquish them violently from our lives. While David speaks of flesh and b…

This episode is crazy! Well at least it is an account of something crazy. We find ourselves in Psalm 34 and David is praying God as he so loves to do. Ever made a bad decision for a good reason?

Psalm 33 teaches about God's glory, his awesome power and how our joy can only be full in him. Do we rejoice? Really rejoice? Does it spill out of us like water from an overfilled glass, splashing everything and everyone around us to where they can't help but fell joy as well? Do we paint an attractive picture of the joy we have in Christ to the po…

Psalm 31 sees David in the midst of betrayal and abandonment by those he had trusted. This causes him to turn to God. How often do we look at the season we are in and feel betrayed?

EP.30 – When we look at ME instead of HE 33:38

8M ago33:38

33:38

David comes off the heals of a crushing failure in his life that had drastic consequences in Psalm 30. It is easy sometimes to look at the Lord's blessing as personal accomplishments. God warned Israel against this attitude, and David feels the weight of the reality of what happens when we do just that. When we fail do we turn to God immediately, o…

David pens a Psalm dedicated to the magnificence of God in a storm he is witness to. How does this translate to praise in our lives? What is the message that God has for us here?

David goes once again from a low to a high in this week's Psalm as he engages God in prayer. DO we pray often enough? For the right things? Do we feel God is silent sometimes? We're not alone.
