A Coronation Psalm? Psalm 24, OT S1:E327

This Psalm sounds like the coronation of a king as He ascends to the throne. In this episode, we hear how this psalm echoes the crowd's Palm Sunday praises and angelic praises of Jesus, Who has won our salvation.

The Lord is My Shepherd, Psalm 23, OT S1:E326

We look at one of the most beloved passages in all scripture to hear how David's experience as a shepherd relates to the intimate relationship we have with God as his sheep. We will explore how the very real place of the valley of the shadow of death gives us a deeper understanding of this classic psalm.

Truth to Power, Acts 26, NT S1:E167

This protest rallying cry means something different to Paul. He isn't motivated by anger or hate. Rather, he seeks, in love, to bring peace and salvation to his listeners.

Reason to Believe, Psalm 22b, OT S1:E325b

Skeptics will always scoff, but a close examination of the scriptures proves that we have good reasons to believe! In this bonus episode, we consider many of the specific prophecies of Jesus's crucifixion, that are contained in this psalm.

Pierced Hands and Feet, Psalm 22, OT S1:E325

Did the Holy Spirit allow David to see exactly what Jesus would do to earn our salvation nearly 1,000 years before He was even born? Psalm 22 includes many details of Jesus' suffering and death. We listen to this psalm as an eye witness account of the crucifixion of Christ. 

Trust and Rescue, Psalm 20-21, OT S1:324

Here we hear the heart of Jesus, as He anticipating doing the work of salvation. Psalms 20-25 are among the clearest Messianic prophecies in the Bible. They give us great courage and strength, knowing Jesus gave all He had for us!

Appeal to Caesar, Acts 25, NT S1:E166

Paul asserts his rights, as a Roman citizen, to appeal his case to Caesar. In utilizing his legal right to a free trip to Rome, and audience with the Emperor, Paul makes his case to go to Rome. If any of the judges violated his right, Paul would've been given back to the Jews and most certainly would have been killed. Here, God uses the rule of law to accomplish His purpose.

Natural and Moral Law, Psalm 19, OT S1:E323

Nobody would question the laws of physics. Why then do they question God's moral law? The same God who orders the universe has given us very clear instructions on how to live this life. This psalm makes abundantly clear the connection between natural law and moral law.

Rescue, Rock and Refuge, Psalm 18, OT S1:E322

God is our rock and refuge! As these psalms of the afflicted wrap up, we hear David proclaim his faith boldly. He extols the God who promised to save him, even though he spent decades running for his life.

Two Years Waiting, Acts 24, NT S1:E165

Paul spends two whole years detained at Cesarea Maritima. It may seem like time is wasted, but it is not. Paul gets free access to friends and gets to preach to Governor Felix and his wife Drusilla. We learn here how to process slander, as Paul's opponents are denied. We also learn that God wastes no time, even when it seems things are delayed.
