How does our reliance upon God's provision glorify the Father's name? How is this theme of reliance upon God for our daily bread threaded throughout the whole of the Scriptures? How can we learn to trust God to provide for our needs?

Psalm 51 offers the believer a crash course on true repentence. Is there grace for our deepest moral failures? Will God forgive the most grievous of sin? How can a holy God remain just in doing so? In this episode, we will explore some of the major theological themes that emerge from this beautiful gem in the psalter.

Psalm 42 and 43 teach us how to fight through difficult seasons of life, and how (and what) to preach to ourselves amidst trials and depression. 

Life is short. Our opinions are not. How does a right understanding of God temper our tongues, draw us into honest prayer, and help us learn to count our days and smile again as sojourners in search of a forever home? 

Psalm 31 paints a picture of urgency, honesty, and trust in distress. The Lord quotes this Psalm upon the cross. As David proclaimed the love of the Lord while extending a call to be strong and take courage as we wait upon the Lord. 

How is the will of God done in Heaven? How does Jesus exemplify the Father's will done on earth as it is in Heaven? How does the Lord's prayer align our will to the will of the Father? 

How does Jesus' teaching about the Kingdom of God shape how we pray "your kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in Heaven?"

When the Lord challenges us to pray "Your Kingdom come... on earth as it is in heaven," how would his immediate audience have understood this concept? 

The Lord's Prayer aligns us with God's own heart. Its first declaration is for the hallowing of God's name. How does this drive us deeper into the heart of God's desire and our chief purpose in life?

Before leading his disciples how to pray, Jesus spends significant time explaining how not to pray. This helps us understand the Lord's Prayer with greater depth.
