Keeping Our Inheritance in Mind (Psalms 16–18) 12:53

Play Pause

7h ago12:53

12:53

Send us a text Threats, false accusations, and long delays have a way of shrinking our world to the size of our fears. We open Psalms 16–18 and watch David do something different: he prays honestly, remembers his inheritance, and lets resurrection hope redraw the map of his day. That pivot—from fixing problems to fixing our eyes—changes how we spea…

Will True Love Please Stand Up 28:33

7h ago28:33

28:33

Send us a text Start with a single word that dares to redefine everything: love. Not the kind that fades when the fireworks end, but agape—the steady, others-first commitment that turns a vice-soaked city into a living testimony of grace. We walk through Corinth’s streets, hear Paul’s urgent appeal in 1 Corinthians 13, and ask what happens when a c…

2d ago13:34

13:34

Send us a text When the pillars of culture shake, the first question isn’t what to do—it’s where to look. We open Psalm 11–12 and follow David’s urgent refrain to lift our eyes from crumbling sand to granite sovereignty.

In the Beginning 31:08

3d ago31:08

31:08

Send us a text Start with a world that looks arranged and ask the most honest question: who arranged it? We walk up the Areopagus with Paul, listen to his bold claim that God made “the world and all things in it,” and then follow that claim into modern labs, star fields, and the quiet intricacy of a single living cell. From the intuitive logic of M…

Songs for Future Kings and Queens 13:32

6d ago13:32

13:32

Send us a text Do you ever feel overwhelmed by criticism or wonder if your life matters? Psalms 7 and 8 speak to both. In Psalm 7, David is falsely accused and crushed by the weight of unkind words.

7d ago31:31

31:31

Send us a text Have you ever dismissed an encounter as random, only to later see how meaningful it was? The apostle Paul experienced that in Athens.

8d ago31:47
