Psalm 46 If ever there was a year of #unprecedented global chaos it was 2020, at least in most of our lifetimes. As we continue our journey through Advent, we now look at Psalm 46 where we are encouraged by the picture of God as a mighty fortress, where we can find peace in the midst of the chaos that occurs in the world and in our lives. Through Jesus, God has brought us peace, bringing God’s presence to us, and bringing us into God’s presence. Therefore, even in the midst of the chaos around u...
Dec 13, 2020•37 min•Transcript available on Metacast Psalm 142 Despair and hope are inherent to the human experience. In a world plagued by consistent hopelessness and distress, despair is imminent, and we need to anchor ourselves in a hope that is unlike anything the world has to offer.

Aug 09, 2020•31 min•Transcript available on Metacast Chapter 3 is Habakkuk's prayer of praise in the form of a poetic song. He had been given the vision from God concerning the end; he had heard the Lord's response to his questions and concerns. Now he can only but stand back in awe and in reverence of the One who will act on behalf of His people. Habakkuk's prayer and song in this chapter is one that encompasses the past, yet stretches forth thousands of years and reveals details of the Lord's coming in glory to defeat all His...

Jul 19, 2020•49 min•Transcript available on Metacast The biggest question in Habakkuk's prayers and laments is: "Is God good, when there is so much evil in the world?". The vision of Habakkuk in this portion of scripture is God's answer to this question. God doesn't only answer the prophet, He describes to the prophet how he should live in this in-between time in chapter 2:4 and 2:20; between the promise and the fulfillment. This brings us a great deal of comfort, as we also live in between the resurrection and the redempt...
