Paul uses two words to describe the Christians in Ephesus: saints (lit. ‘holy ones’) and faithful. Every Christian is both and both identities plant us firmly in the realm of Christ’s power, security, and honor.

Psalm 110 is the most quoted Psalm in the NT and the most explicit ‘Royal Psalm’ declaring Jesus as the glorious and final King and Priest over his own people and over the whole world.

That David’s personal confession of adultery and murder could be turned into a divinely inspired congregational hymn proves that “whoever comes” to Christ will never be “cast out.”

As the compassionate character of God is revealed in this precious psalm, we are prepared to see how the steadfast love of the final sacrificial Lamb enables wayward sheep to dwell with a holy God.

In Psalm 19, David marvels at the glory of God as revealed both in creation and the Scriptures. Like the sun, nothing is hidden from the life-giving heat of the Word—ultimately fulfilled in Jesus!

Psalm 30, though written by David years before the completion of the Temple Solomon would build, became the seminal Psalm for God’s people at its dedication. But why? Listen to find out.

Just as God did for Naomi, he provides for us a Redeemer who nourishes us by his faithful loving kindness as he works out the plan for our lives and our part in the proclamation of his gospel.
