Text: Mark 4:1-41This is an exciting passage. Jesus always had purpose; He did not do things by chance. He had a reason for going to the other side of the lake; a reason for crossing by boat, instead of walking around and skirting the lake. He was going to show His disciples something about Himself.[…]

Text: Matthew 6:1-34This passage is part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, chapters 5-7. It is a sweet pastoral passage from our Gentle Shepherd, Jesus. He knew all his listeners got anxious, worried about things that were out of their control, or even about the things they thought they could control. So, Pastor Jesus gently[…]

Text: Psalm 42:1-11You will notice before verse 1 that the Psalm was written by the sons of Korah. This is a very encouraging notation. In Numbers 16, we read that Korah and some others rebelled against Moses. Consequently, the ground opened and swallowed the rebels, their families, and their belongings. Yet, somehow, we read in[…]

The passage of our sharing today is commonly seen as the manifesto of our Lord Jesus as seen in Luke 4:18-19.The prophesy presents Jesus as the anointed one, the messiah who was sent to bring Good News to the poor.

Text: Psalm 34:1-22In the Hebrew verse 1 (look back to the lesson of October 7), we read about the circumstances behind this psalm. The story is a little comical, although largely sad. Yahweh was going to end King Saul’s reign in Israel because of the King’s sin (1 Sam.15) and then make David a king[…]

Text: Psalm 33:1-22This Psalm does not directly talk about distress and anxiety, but it does teach us to trust in the LORD, Yahweh. The writer reminds us that Yahweh created everything simply by speaking things into existence (v.6), He controls the mighty waters (v.7), and He has ultimate control over nations (v.10). Therefore, kings are[…]

Text: Psalm 3:1-8In the introduction before verse 1 (which is verse 1 in the Hebrew language), King David tells us that he wrote this Psalm about the time when he was being chased by his son, Absalom, who was trying to steal the throne. Absalom had gathered an army against his father, chased him out[…]

Text: Joshua 1:1-18When Moses died, Joshua became the leader of Israel. Three times in this passage Yahweh tells Joshua to be strong and courageous, and He says, do not be frightened or dismayed. Why would God say these things? It is because Joshua was afraid. He is taking over from Moses, the great leader. He[…]

Text: Genesis 18:10-15In Genesis 15, when Abraham was seventy five (75) years of age, and Sarah was sixty five (65), with no children, Yahweh promised He would give them a son and many descendants (Gen.15:3-5), but He did not saywhen. Now, in chapter 18, twenty four (24) years later, when Abraham is ninety nine (99)[…]
