episode 16: God's Shaping Hand
God’s Shaping Hand Jeremiah 18
Think about all the different types of containers in our world today. All different shapes, sizes, they are made for different purposes, to hold almost anything… we seemingly have containers for everything!
Containers actually are quite useful, right, for preserving things-- separating things, organizing. A container helps us to transport things-- or save them for a later time...
episode 20: The Lord is My Shepherd
Psalms 23
King David was raised as a shepherd, and is the best person to write these timeless words of comfort and assurance.

V 1:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
It is a powerful metaphor used many times in scripture. The relationship between shepherd and sheep...

episode 23: Even Though. You Comfort Me. Psalm 23:4
Psalm 23:4

episode 23: Stay At The Table. Psalm 23:5
“The Lord is my shepherd… I shall not want”.
David writes these timeless words--the 23rd Psalm is quite possibly the most familiar passage of scripture-- (second only to John 3:16, or maybe the Lord’s prayer right?).
I sometimes feel like we’ve cluttered up the Christian life...
episode 25: Better Than I Deserve Psalm 23:6
Psalm 23:6 “Better Than I Deserve”
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever...
episode 25: Never Grow Weary Galatians 6:9
Galatians 6:9 Never Grow Weary of Doing Good
As Christians, we try to live a life that brings glory to God but some days, that is really hard to do. Sometimes it feels like we aren’t getting anywhere with our work or our efforts--- In these moments it can be all too easy sometimes to cave in and quit...
