What you have to love in Daniel 3 is the officialness of it all. How many times the list of magistrates are listed. The amount of times the instruments are all laid out. It can feel a bit mind numbing and pompous. Which is the point. We see the full arrogance of King Nebuchadnezzar on display.   Read More

Advent 2023: December 7 - Psalm
on December 7th, 2023
Traditionally, Psalm 47 is read as the Church celebrates the Ascension of Jesus Christ. You can see it in the Psalm itself: “God has gone up with a shout!

on November 29th, 2023
David is a man after God’s own heart. Why that is will be seen as David’s life is told in the Bible. For even when he sins, he is repentant and seeks for God’s pardon, unlike Saul who came before him and only sought God due to pretense.  Read More
