Day 129: Living in Lo-Debar (2 Samuel 9)
“Lo-Debar” either means “No Word” or “No thing.” Thats where Mephibosheth lived. And sometimes, we feel like that’s where we are living too.

Day 128: Friendship, Secrets, and an Appreciation for Tara-Leigh Cobble (Psalm 25:14)
Psalm 25:14, has been translated in two different ways, and my first is to figure out which one is “right.” But what if I’m asking the wrong question. I’m I willing to listen to a perspective that comes from a different place?

Day 128: “Our Soul Waits” in Psalm 33:20
“Our soul waits for the Lord.” Shouldn’t it say “our souls wait?” But the Psalmist’s strange wording is intentional: a picture of God’s people united with one soul and one heart before the Lord.

Day 124: Wazzup With Uzzah? (1 Chronicles 13-16)

Day 121: Men of Isaachar (1 Chronicles 12:32)
Issachar only brought 200 men—but they “understood the times” and knew what Israel should do. Scripture never criticizes their small number, because discernment made the difference. A few who see clearly can stand beside thousands who don’t.

Day 088: Are you Passing the Baton, or Dropping It? (Joshua 24:31)

Day 085: Caleb’s Different Spirit (Joshua 14:11-12)

The Donkey and the Palm (Matthew 21:1-11; 1 Kings 1:6-10, 28-40)
Good morning! Welcome to worship on Palm Sunday! If you have your Bibles you can go ahead and turn to Matthew 21. Although the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem is told in all four gospels, I want to look at it in Matthew this morning. Also, go ahead and find 1 Kings chapter one,…
