There On The Cross, My Burdens Gladly Bearing! Nov 13, 2024

Sin is a human problem. We rebelled against the eternal, holy and righteous God and now we have to pay. Our life is required. Where once we had the promise of eternal live, through sin, we now will suffer death.

No man could solve this problem. No man could live that perfect life that is required. So God steps in, makes a covenant with the second person in the Godhead, His eternal Son, and becomes a man, lives that perfect life that is pleasing to God, so that He can be our hero die in our place.

Today, we dive into verse 3 of How Great Thou Art.

Jesus, And All In Him Is Mine! Oct 23, 2024

We stand trial before a mighty Lord, who is the final Judge. We are covered in sin and guilt, its all over us, the evidence is undeniable. Yet, when it is time for the verdict to be read, "INNOCENT" is what is declared, made righteous by the work of Christ, who now stands in our place before the Righteous Judge.

And we walk out of that courtroom free men and women. There is now no more condemnation. Jesus and all in Him is OURS!

9 Lessons & Carols: Introduction - Once In Royal David's City Nov 27, 2022

The 9 lessons and Carols date back to 1880, where a bishop opened a special Christmas Eve service in a wood shed that he used has his cathedral in Truro, now present day Cornwall,

Almost 40 years later, in 1918, King's College in Cambridge carried on the tradition, and has held the special Christmas Eve since. The services always began with “Once in David’s Royal City”, the Carol we will be singing today, followed by 9 carols along with scripture readings to help tell the story of God’s redemptive history, leading to the baby in the manger.

In 1928, BBC began to broadcast the service over the radio, and, in 2022, YOU have the unique opportunity to hear this special service via our podcast!

We hope you find this edifying this Advent season! Enjoy your eggnog....

Once In Royal David's City, Written by Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848. Modern arrangement and recording by Nathan Drake, Reawaken Hymns. CCLI# 7197587

Pilgrim Psalms - Psalm 127 - Unless The Lord Jul 20, 2022

Today we look at my favorite Psalm, Psalm 127.

“Note that the Psalmist does not bid the builder cease from laboring, nor suggest that watchmen should neglect their duty, nor that men should show their trust in God by doing nothing: nay, he supposes that they will do all that they can do, and then he forbids their fixing their trust in what they have done, and assures them that all creature effort will be in vain unless the Creator puts forth his power.” - Charles Spurgeon

Today we are singing Psalm 127 as written by The Corner Room Music. You can check out more of their music here: https://www.cornerroommusic.com

Pilgrim Psalms - Psalm 125 - Those Who Trust In The Lord! Jul 06, 2022

From the ESV Study notes: This Psalm (125) instills confidence in the Lords people, that remaining loyal to Him really is worth it. The leading image is of Zion as a city surrounded by sheltering mountains. It is possible that some of Zions citizens might go over to evil, but the Lord will see to it that he publicly vindicates His faithful ones.

Today we sing this to the tune of "Be Thou My Vision'.

Pilgrim Psalms - Psalm 124 - If It Had Not Been The Lord! Jun 29, 2022

Charles Spurgeon says of this psalm that "this is a good lesson for us to learn from the past experience of the Lord's people. God and God alone did deliver his servants in the past and herein is our confidence for the present and the future; our help is in the name the revealed and manifested character of Jehovah, the Creator of heaven and earth"

Today we get to sing Psalm 124 as written by Wendell Kimbrough.

Wendell is a songwriter and performer reimagining the Psalms for emotionally honest modern worship. His music makes space for the whole range of human experience, from lament, grief, and anger to playful, joyful celebration. With singable melodies, steeped in the sounds of folk, gospel, and soul music, Wendell's songs are sung at hundreds of churches around the world. His music has been featured in Worship Leader Magazine and World Magazine; and Under the Radar Media selected his 2016 album, Psalms We Sing Together, as an honorable mention for albums of the year. In 2020, he was invited to serve on American Songwriter Magazine's prestigious panel of lyric judges. Wendell lives with his wife and daughter in Fairhope, Alabama, where he serves as worship leader and artist-in-residence at Church of the Apostles.

Pilgrim Psalms - Psalm 123 - Have Mercy Upon Us Oh Lord! Jun 22, 2022

Psalm 123 is a Psalm of Lament. It would seem that our community of pilgrims found themselves to be the subject of much contempt and scorn.

How do we handle contempt and scorn? Let us journey with these pilgrims as they teach us a thing or two about Gods mercy.

Pilgrim Psalms - Psalm 122 - Let Us Go To The House Of The Lord! Jun 15, 2022

Psalm 122 was written by David for the people to sing as they journeyed to Jerusalem for the holy feasts. Jerusalem was the center of their worship, so it would be natural for them to sing of their joy in entering into her gates, and to pray for peace and prosperity within her walls.

Today we sing this Psalm to a tune that MIGHT be familiar to you! Tune in to find out!

Pilgrim Psalms - Psalm 121 - I Lift My Eyes Up To The Hills! Jun 08, 2022

Our Help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and Earth. The psalmist points out that He is the maker of Heaven and earth to show His universal and unmatched power.

He made all things, and so for our help to come from Him means that no weapons, earthy or demonic, will stand against us!

As Spurgeon said “It is vain to trust the creatures - it is wise to trust the Creator”

Pilgrim Psalms - Psalm 120 - Deliver Me, O Lord! Jun 01, 2022

Psalm 120 to 134 are known as the Psalms of Ascent, or the Pilgrim Psalms. Many of Gods people would sing as they made their journeys into Jerusalem each year for the Feast for Tabernacles, The Passover Feast and the Feast of First fruits.

For the next 15 weeks we will be taking a closer look into these Psalms. We hope you enjoy the series that we have called - The Pilgrim Psalms - Songs of Ascent.

Today, we are starting with Psalm 120 - Deliver Me, O Lord. We will be singing this metrical Psalm to the tune of 'Be Thou My Vision'.

Redemption Found Me Mar 23, 2022

Today we close out our study on the Doctrine of Salvation and we will do so by singing a song we wrote where each verse takes us through the ordo salutis and how ultimately it is in God’s love that we rejoice in our salvation.

Just how He applies redemption to His elect in Christ is in and of itself something that has been thought out in the mind of God from before the foundations of the world were laid.

Come join us for this final episode in our series!

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling Mar 16, 2022

Do you mortify? Do you make it your daily work? Be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.-John Owen “The Mortification of Sin”

What we must remember in our sanctification process is that sin is still sin and we are in conflict with it, however, as new creations it is no longer master and we must “Be killing sin” each and every day.

Today we will be looking at sanctification on our journey through the doctrine of Salvation.

Our musical guests today are Andy and Samantha Kadzban of Wyckoff Reformed Church in Wyckoff, New Jersey!

You can find their churches information here: https://www.wyckoffreformed.org

My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less Mar 09, 2022

Martin Luther once said of the doctrine of Justification that it is "the hinge on which the door of salvation swings"

We are joined by special musical guests "The Wandering Worshipers" out of Bramerton, Washington.

Come Oh Come Thou Quickening Spirit Feb 16, 2022

The application of redemption begins with Gods effectual call to the sinner who is dead in sins. Though the gospel is made available for all to hear in the Gospel call, it is only those who are called effectually who will have their ears opened so that they may receive that message.

Today we will be looking at Calling and Regeneration as we continue our study into the doctrine of Salvation!

Advent Week 1 - What Child is This? Dec 01, 2021

The Jewish people of the first century were under harsh oppression by the Roman Government. There was a hope built up inside them of the coming of a king, that great deliverer, who would rescue them from persecution, wipe out their enemies, and restore the Jewish culture that was lost to Hellenism.

Surely they must have asked the question, "What Child is This?" when the Deliverer finally came.
