Prepare the People: A Podcast for Troublesome Times

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. In this episode we discuss the importance of having a mind set to bless the Lord at all times. In times of difficulty especially, praising the Lord and recalling to mind his goodness towards us in the past is a bulwark against the doubt and negativity that may seek to put us off balance, and cause us to sin.

This message is inspired by Psalm 116. The question, what can we render unto the Lord for all of his goodness towards us? The answer, we can take up the cup of salvation, and call upon his name. Like any of us, God expects gratitude from his children when he comes to their aid.

Walking in sandals on the roads of Palestine in the first century made it imperative that feet be washed before a communal meal. People ate reclining at low tables, and feet were very much in evidence. When Jesus rose from the Last Supper and began to wash the feet of the disciples, he took upon himself the role of a servant. In doing this he set an example for all those who would serve God should follow. In this episode, Bro. Aldwin dives into the important messages hidden in the account of Jesus' washing the disciples feet.
