This passage is one of the most glorious descriptions of who Jesus is. As fully God and fully man, he is preeminent in creation and in the new creation. We need to consider if we living out of touch with the reality of who Jesus is.

Often the things that unsettle us loom larger in our minds than God does. Psalm 33 puts everything back into perspective by calling us to worship the sovereign God who sets his steadfast love on his people.

Hearing the Apostle Paul's prayer in Colossians 1:9-14 gives us a great insight into what we should most want: to live worthy of the one who saved us. Therefore, we need to know how to practice God’s will, which is what this prayer is all about.

The letter of Colossians is all about the good news of salvation in Christ. This ‘gospel’ is God’s powerful message that impacts the world as it impacts people. How do you know if it has impacted you? This passage teaches us what the impact is, how it happens and why.

God sends trials to test and refine our faith, but the same trials can prompt temptations to turn from him. These temptations are not caused by the trial, but come from within our hearts. To overcome temptation we need to live out the new heart God gives.

James 1:1-12 describes how we should respond when experiencing trials. This is a helpful passage to reflect on and practice as we continue to endure the pandemic, which often adds a layer of complexity to our normal difficulties.

Psalm 87 celebrates the glorious things about Zion the city of God. It especially highlights the relationship the citizens enjoy with God, and how that relationship came about. Those who experience it break out into singing and dancing.

The longing for a home of beauty, safety and rest is found in every human heart. But it’s a longing that finds no lasting satisfaction in this life. Psalm 84 teaches us to redirect that longing toward the only home where true satisfaction can be found.

Psalm 48 takes us on a guided tour of the world’s most liveable city. But what makes this city so liveable are qualities that you won’t find in any other city. Join the tour and discover the city of beauty, strength and steadfast love; and find out where it is today.

In ancient times, a fortified city was the safest place from danger. Psalm 46 persuades us to see that in this chaotic and raging world there is only one truly safe place: in God himself, the Mighty Fortress. In him we are safe for all eternity.
