Psalm 31 | Diana Cleveland | 02.01.2026 by RC2 Lynnwood

Psalm 133 uplifts he goodness, beauty, and blessing of godly unity among believers. What does this mean for our church community today?

Psalm 126 explores the movement from past deliverance to present struggle and future hope.

The Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134) are a collection of 15 psalms used by Jewish pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem for annual feasts, symbolizing a spiritual journey from hardship to God's presence in Zion, characterized by themes of God's protection, grace, and presence. We begin the pilgrimage with a look at Psalm 121

Psalm 98 is one of six Enthronement Psalms (Psalms 93, 95-99) that celebrate Yahweh’s universal sovereignty and eternal kingship. These Psalms depict God as a just and powerful ruler over creation, calling people to worship and highlighting themes of salvation, later reinterpreted in Christianity as Christ’s ultimate reign. Scholars have also linked the Enthronement Psalms to ancient New Year festivals, during which the community would ritually acclaim divine kingship and renew hopes for cosmic order and blessing in the coming year. In the New Year let’s sing out a new song orienting our lives around the kingship of God!

Welcoming the Stranger | Magdiel Tzec | 2 Timothy 2:8-10 | 10.12.2025 by RC2 Lynnwood

A command to love the stranger.

The people of Malta warmly welcomed Paul and his companions, offering fire, food, and shelter. Paul's healing of Publius affirmed their kindness and opened doors for ministry, showing how hospitality reveals God's character.

Hospitality is a reciprocal and relational reality. We need to learn not only to give it, but to receive it. In receiving hospitality we contribute to vulnerable and safe space making.

God prepares a feast for all people, breaking barriers and inviting everyone to His table. This sets the foundation for our call to extend hospitality.

Application: Reflect on how we can create spaces of abundance and inclusion in our homes, churches, and communities.
