Psalm 32: The Gospel Joy of Repentance

True blessedness and joy is not reserved for perfect people, because (apart from Jesus) there are none. True blessedness is granted to those who own their sin, hate their sin, and turn from it in disgust and embrace the forgiving and restoritative grace of Christ in the gospel.

Psalm 73: Prayer Changes Us

We may be familiar with the words of Asaph who wrote, "There is nothing on earth I desire besides You." However, we are probably less aware of the prayerful struggle that preceded this bold profession.

Confessional: Jerry Ediger on Philippians 4

Only the God of peace can provide us with the peace of God.

Psalm 142: Praying Your Problems

What do we do with our anxiety, fear, depression, discouragement, and frustration? We must not suppress them or blindly follow them, but learn to pray them. Prayer is a safe place to process our emotions in the presence of God...and see them transformed over time.

ISAIAH 36-37: Yahweh Defeats Sennacherib (What Salvation looks like in the Prophets)

Instead of searching through seemingly obscure chapters of the prophets hunting down an 'inspirational verse' here or there, we want to grow in our ability to read these amazing books of the Bible on their own terms. In this message we look at a wonderful, powerful, moving picture of God saving His people in the Old Testament. We also see how these ancient events relate to ourselves today and most importantly to the gospel of Jesus.

Confessional: Jerry Ediger from Romans

How to Understand and Apply the OT Prophets (Micah 2-3)

If we find ourselves comfortable in familiar parts of the Bible and yet lost in the prophets, perhaps we need to really spend some extra time trying to understand what they're really all about, how they point to Jesus and how they apply to our lives today.

Confessional: Salvation Frees us from Sin (Jerry Ediger)

Learning to Read the Old Testament Prophets (Micah 1)

Why the Old Testament? (Mark's message at WFBC)

Why does the long and ancient history of Israel so dominate the first three quarters of your Bible? How are we to fit the many themes and threads of the Old Testament together with the message of the New? How can we better learn to read the Bible as one great Story that finds its resolution in Jesus?
