Psalm 148

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

Psalm 148 “The whole creation, animate and inanimate, is called upon to praise God” Miller, 450. “The poem expressed a grand cosmic vision” Alter, 509. “This hymn of praise consists almost entirely of imperative calls to praise” Broyles, 515. “’Praise the LORD’ occurs twelve times in Psalm 148 ” NICOT, 1002. “The psalm is naturally divined into two parts by the poetic structure. First, the summons goes out to praise the Lord from the heavens (vs. 1) and then from the earth (vs. 7). Next, in each section certain persons and things which inhabit the heavens (vss. 1b-4) and the earth (vss. 7b-12)

II Corinthians 8 - Daily Bible Devotional

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! II Corinthians 8 The Corinthians are encouraged to follow the Macedonian churches' example, giving generously despite their poverty. Their giving was an act of grace, overflowing from their joy in Christ. Paul reminds the Corinthians that true generosity comes from a willing heart, not obligation. He urges them to complete their commitment to give, just as they excel in faith, love, and knowledge. Paul points to Jesus as the ultimate example of generosity. Though rich, He became poor so that believers might become spiritu

INCOMPETENCE: Saved anyway. "Worst. President. Ever." Worst preacher ever. Seers Catalog.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! If there’s any subject in which I could claim to be an expert, this is the one. Thankfully God is more than competent enough to compensate for me. We’ll discuss how our repeated failures will not get in the way of a God determined to save us; a president whose best wasn’t nearly good enough and the problems that resulted; the very worst preacher who ever preached (and yes, I think I can prove it); and the latest example of how horrible I am at board games, why that’s the case, and why I keep playing anyway.

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! II Corinthians 7 Paul encourages the Corinthians to pursue holiness, cleansing themselves from anything that defiles body and spirit, as they live in reverence to God. He expresses his love for them, reminding them that his previous letter, though painful, was written to bring repentance, not harm. Paul rejoices that their sorrow led to repentance, producing a lasting change in their hearts. He contrasts godly sorrow, which leads to salvation without regret, with worldly sorrow, which profits nothing. Paul praises the Chr

II Corinthians 6 - Daily Bible Devotional

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! II Corinthians 6 The Corinthians are encouraged not to receive God’s grace in vain but to live faithfully, embracing the time for salvation. Paul describes the hardships he and his fellow workers endure—beatings, imprisonments, difficulties, and sleepless nights—yet they remain steadfast, acting with purity, patience, and sincere love. Though they are treated as impostors, they stay true; though sorrowful, they rejoice; though poor, they enrich many in Christ. Paul then warns the Corinthians against being unequally yoked

II Corinthians 5 - Daily Bible Devotional

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! II Corinthians 5 Earthly bodies resemble temporary tents, but God has prepared an eternal house for the future. While Christians may groan in their current bodies, they hold onto the hope of resurrection and the promise of being clothed in immortality. Paul encourages them to walk by faith, not by sight, knowing that being absent from the body means being present with the Lord. He emphasizes that all believers will stand before Christ to give an account of their lives. Because of this, he urges them to live with purpose,

244 | Seven Sermon Summer Surfin’ Spectacular | Trust in the Better Priesthood We're stoked to have our friend Allen Greeley back for our "Summer Surfin' Spectacular"! This week, he tackles a biblical puzzle in "The Priesthood Face-off." If Old Testament priests and kings came from different tribes, how could Jesus be both? Who was the mysterious priest-king Melchizedek, and why was he considered greater than Abraham? And what happens when the flawed, law-breaking priesthood comes face-to-face with Jesus at his own trial? Grab your board and join us for a deep-dive into God's plan for his ulti

II Corinthians 4 - Daily Bible Devotional

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! II Corinthians 4 Paul emphasizes that his ministry arises from God’s mercy, and he refuses to distort or manipulate God’s word. Instead, he preaches Christ openly, even though the gospel remains hidden to those blinded by the god of this world. He reminds the Corinthians that he is merely a servant, proclaiming Jesus as Lord, with God’s light shining in his heart. Paul describes the Christian life as a treasure in jars of clay, illustrating that the power comes from God, not from human strength. Though believers face affl

If you missed the first part, make sure you go back and check that out. Is there media bias? If so, is it deliberate? And if so, what should be Christians’ approach if any to gathering news?

II Corinthians 3 - Daily Bible Devotional

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! II Corinthians 3 The apostle Paul explains he does not require letters of recommendation because the Corinthians themselves stand as proof of his ministry. Their transformed lives are letters from Christ, inscribed not on stone but on human hearts by the Spirit. He then contrasts the old covenant, which brought death through the law, with the new covenant, which imparts life through the Spirit. The law had glory, yet the ministry of the Spirit possesses even greater glory. Paul clarifies that through Christ, the veil that
