Podcasts about 16psalm

When we invite God to “open our eyes,” we’re acknowledging something important: the Bible isn’t just understood through effort alone, but through relationship. The Holy Spirit brings insight where familiarity has dulled our attention and breathes life into verses we thought we already knew. Suddenly, Scripture becomes less like a checklist and more like conversation—one where God is still speaking, still revealing, still shaping how we see Him, ourselves, and the world around us. Highlights: Scripture becomes more meaningful when approached with expectation rather than routine Spiritual insight comes through the Holy Spirit, not just personal effort Familiar passages can reveal new truth when we slow down and engage deeply Prayer before reading reshapes how we see and receive God’s Word Curiosity and openness create space for renewed passion in Scripture Join the Conversation Have you experienced a time when God reminded you that He saw your pain, needs, or circumstances? How does knowing that God is El Roi—the God who sees you—change the way you approach difficult seasons?

Full Transcript Below: Get Excited about the Bible AgainBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.” – Psalm 119:18, NIV When a friend invited me to a Bible study, I agreed to go just to spend time with that friend. I’d been reading the Bible for years, and it all seemed so familiar that I didn’t expect to learn much. But during the first session, after we all prayed together, I found a fresh perspective on a Bible passage I’d read many times before. That happened again and again during that Bible study, as the leader encouraged us to ask God to open our eyes spiritually to his messages for us. It was like finding hidden treasure! I was excited to read the Bible again. It’s so easy for us to read the Bible like a chore on our to-do lists, just like picking up the groceries or folding the laundry. We know it’s good for us, so we try to squeeze it in. But too often, we don’t really feel excited about the Bible’s messages. We might start a Bible reading plan with great intentions, but then we hit a section that feels confusing or dry, and we just give up. Or, we find one day that we don’t relate to the Bible verse of the day when we first read it, so we don’t reflect on it or try to apply it to our lives. But even when reading the Bible feels like an obligation, it’s actually an opportunity. Every part of the Bible can help connect us to God in wonderful ways if we’re reading it prayerfully. Psalm 119:18 features a simple yet significant prayer: “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.” This tells us that we aren’t meant to understand the Bible just by using our own brainpower or willpower. We need to ask God to show us the “wonderful things” hidden in those pages that we simply can’t see on our own. That takes the pressure off of us to be perfect students and puts the focus on God to be the perfect Teacher – which he is, through his Holy Spirit. If you struggle with the Bible, it may be because you’ve tried to force yourself into a reading plan that doesn’t actually fit the way you learn or the season of life you’re in. You may think there’s only one right way to read and reflect on the Bible – like sitting at a desk and taking notes on every passage you read – and if you can’t do that, you don’t do anything at all. But God wants you to enjoy his messages! He wants you to come to the Bible with a sense of curiosity and adventure. If you find yourself stuck, you have the freedom to try something new. Maybe it would work better for you to listen to an audio Bible while you walk through the woods, or dive deep into just one single verse for a whole week and journal your thoughts about creative ways you can try applying that verse to your life. You can discover a fresh perspective on the Bible when you stop seeing it as a set of rules to follow and start seeing it as a wonderful place where God reveals his character to you. The more you ask God to show you the “wonderful things” this psalm talks about, the more you can learn about who God is and what God does to work in your life in wonderful ways every day. Your passion for the Bible will grow not from becoming more disciplined, but from becoming more in love with your wonderful God. So, give yourself permission to start fresh with the Bible today. Just pray for God to open your eyes to the wonderful things in his word, the Bible. God will meet you where you are and answer your prayer. Expect to be surprised by God’s wonder every time you read the Bible while praying for God’s Spirit to show you what’s really inside! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how to get excited about the Bible again, reflect on these questions: When you think about reading the Bible, do you honestly feel like it’s an obligation or an opportunity, and why do you feel that way? Do you ever find yourself rushing through your Bible reading just to check it off a list? If so, how can praying Psalm 119:18 before you start reading help you absorb the message into your soul? What kind of Bible-reading routine would you actually look forward to every day? What details would be involved – format, time of day, location, etc.? What’s one “wonderful thing” you’ve learned about God’s character recently that made God feel more real to you? What’s something that you’re wondering about who God is or what God does, that you’d like to learn more about from the Bible?

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of ChristReceiving Holy Communion is not a reward for good people, but food for pilgrims on the journey. Why does it seem like some people are changed and others are not at Mass? One word...receptivity. When people come to Mass, we can come out of sheer obligation, habit, we can come with distractions, and closed hearts. Yet, in celebrating the great feast of the bread of heaven, God invites us to come hungry. When our heart is open to God we never leave...unchanged.Scripture Readings for June 7, 2026Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14-16Psalm 147:12-15, 19-201 Corinthians 10:16-17 John 6:51-58

What if the very trap the enemy set for you… became the thing that destroys him instead?In this powerful message, we explore how every single day presents a spiritual decision:Will we leave the door open for the enemy—or shut it and walk in the authority God has given us?From an unexpected last-minute opportunity to preach, to the story of Esther being called “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14), we see how God turns what looks like disruption into divine purpose.Throughout Scripture, there is a consistent pattern:• The enemy sets a trap• God intervenes• The trap backfiresIn Psalm 7:14–16 and Psalm 35:8, we're reminded that the wicked often fall into the very pit they dig. And we see this lived out through two powerful examples:Haman (Esther 7:9–10)Driven by pride, Haman plotted to destroy God's people—but was ultimately destroyed by the very gallows he built. What the enemy meant to stop God's plan, God flipped completely.Judas (Matthew 26:14–25)Though chosen and close to Jesus, Judas allowed sin to remain an open door. Scripture tells us that Satan entered him—but only because access was given. Even then, what looked like Satan's victory at the cross became his ultimate defeat.The truth is clear:Satan doesn't force doors open—he looks for the ones we leave open.But here's the good news:Just as King Xerxes gave the Jews authority to fight back,God has given us authority to overcome the enemy.You are not powerless.You are not stuck.You are not a victim of the trap.You have a choice.Every day is an opportunity to:• Close the door on sin• Walk in obedience• Use your authority in Christ• And watch God turn the enemy's plans against himDon't miss your moment.Scriptures in this message:Esther 4:14Psalm 7:14–16Psalm 35:8Esther 7:9–10Psalm 41:9Matthew 26:14–25Luke 22:3#BibleWithLife #EverydayOpportunity #SpiritualWarfare #Faith #ChristianSermonWelcome to Living Hope Church!

MESSIAH HAS COME — Week 3: Joy • “The Joy Of The True Messiah”What does true joy really look like?In Week 3 of our Advent series “MESSIAH HAS COME,” we turn our focus to Joy—not a temporary happiness based on circumstances, but a deep, lasting joy rooted in who Jesus truly is.Anchored in Luke 2:10, we revisit the angel's proclamation of good news that brings great joy for all people. This sermon invites us to rediscover the joy that comes from recognizing Jesus as the true Messiah—the Savior who brings restoration, hope, and new life.Together, we explore:How all of creation rejoices at the coming King (Psalm 96:11–13)Why rightly knowing who Jesus is matters (Matthew 16:13–16)How joy can be restored, even after failure or loss (Psalm 51:12–13)As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, this message challenges us to move beyond surface-level celebration and step into the lasting joy only Christ can give.

Pastor Aaron McRae unpacks the heart of true Biblical worship. Worship isn't just about singing songs on Sunday—it begins with surrender. Looking at Exodus 34, we discover that God reveals Himself as compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love, and faithful. When we see God for who He truly is, the only right response is worship—our whole lives offered in surrender.From Moses' bold prayer to see God's glory, to John 3:16's ultimate revelation of God's love, we are reminded that worship is not performance, ritual, or appeasement—it is bowing our hearts, our wills, and our lives before a God who is worthy.True worship flows from surrender. Will you give God more than a song—will you give Him your life?Resources MentionedThe Knowledge of the Holy – A.W.

Series: 1 John: That You May KnowPreacher: Pastor Anson McMahonThis sermon from 1 John 2:15-17 provides a crucial examination of the Christian's relationship with the world. Anson powerfully unpacks the seemingly paradoxical command to "not love the world," carefully distinguishing this from a hatred of people or creation. Instead, he illuminates "the world" as a Satan-influenced system of values and desires that stand in opposition to God. Through a detailed exploration of the "devil's trinity" – the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life – the sermon reveals the core temptations that lure believers away from a life devoted to God. Ultimately, it contrasts the fleeting nature of worldly satisfaction with the eternal significance of loving and obeying God, urging listeners to choose a path of lasting value.Key Points:The Command Against Worldly Love: An explanation of 1 John 2:15 and the call for believers to resist loving the world and its allurements.Defining "The World" Biblically: Clarification that "the world" in this context refers to a system of values opposed to God, not people or the created order.The "Devil's Trinity" of Worldly Temptations:The Desires of the Flesh (Lust of the Flesh): The pursuit of immediate, sensory gratification that disregards God's will.The Desires of the Eyes (Lust of the Eyes): The temptation towards materialism and coveting based on visual appeal and societal trends.The Pride of Life: The arrogant self-sufficiency that rejects dependence on God and seeks validation through worldly success.The Transitory Nature of Worldly Pleasures: An emphasis on the temporary and ultimately unsatisfying nature of sin and worldly pursuits compared to eternal joy in God.Choosing a Love with Eternal Significance: A strong encouragement to prioritize loving and obeying God, investing in what has lasting value beyond the fleeting nature of the world.Reflect & Discuss:In what specific ways do you see the "desires of the flesh," "desires of the eyes," and "pride of life" manifesting in our culture today?How can believers practically distinguish between enjoying God's creation and loving the world's system?What are some areas in your own life where you might be tempted to love the world or the things in the world more than God?How does understanding the temporary nature of the world impact your priorities and decisions as a Christian?Discuss practical steps you can take to cultivate a greater love for God and resist the allure of the world.Scripture:1 John 2:15-17Genesis 3:62 Samuel 11:2-4Joshua 7:20-21Proverbs 27:201 Timothy 6:9-10John 12:42-432 Timothy 3:2-4John 3:16Psalm 24:1Genesis 2:9James 1:14-15Proverbs 14:12Hebrews 11:25Matthew 16:26John 15:18-191 John 5:19Colossians 3:2Philippians 3:20Keywords:Love, World, Worldliness, Desires of the Flesh, Lust of the Flesh, Desires of the Eyes, Lust of the Eyes, Pride of Life, Temptation, Sin, Eternal Life, Temporary, Values, Culture, God, Obedience, Discipleship.

We're living in unprecedented times. We're watching the news and media outlets waiting bracing ourselves for the worst. We're watching what feels like hell breaking lose. And if we're not careful, we'll allow the sensationalization of what we see to override what we know God can do and who He is. If we're not careful, we'll allow the master of deception (Satan) to allow fear to trump our faith, doubt to disrupt our discernment, and tragedy to triumph over our trust in Him.My prayer for us is that we remember that we have the mind of Christ. My prayer is that we remember that we can pray and receive spiritual perception, even if what God shares with us doesn't make sense to other people. My prayer is that we don't allow headlines, laws, or any distractions to keep us from doing the things God has called us to do and who He has called us to be. May you speak the Word of God until it is what you experience.Reference Scriptures:1 Corinthians 2:11-16Psalm 34:4Hebrews 11:1

What image comes to mind when you hear the word prayer? What if prayer became less of a regular spiritual chore and more of a conversational friendship with God? What if God invites us to an ongoing exchange of whispers throughout our day—us whispering to Him and Him whispering right back to our hearts? What if our prayer lives reflected equitable amounts of both talking and listening? In those places in our lives where we feel burdened, broken, or burned-out, God invites us into this rhythm of ongoing communion with Him. And as we commune with God, conversing with Him throughout our day, He will restore our joy.

First Sunday of AdventThe season of Advent is a time of waiting, properly understood as preparation. During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season it is normal to focus on menu planning, shopping for gifts, and writing Christmas cards. These are the usual ways to prepare for Christmas. One important part we left out though is found in today's Gospel. Jesus tells his disciples, “Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:36-38). Advent provides us the opportunity to reflect on the reason for waiting...the arrival of Jesus Christ into our hearts. We also learn how we wait... Anxiously? Lonely? Curiously? Thankfully? Joyfully? As we begin this holy season, let us ask the Lord to open our hearts in prayer to receive the gift of his ever abiding presence. Scripture Reading December 1, 2024Jeremiah 33:14-16Psalm 25:4-5, 8-10, 141 Thessalonians 3:12—4:2Luke 21:25-28, 34-36

In this episode we talk about how the Bible is a means to the end of knowing Jesus more intimately, and we look at one specific practice we can do to approach the Scriptures this way.NET footnote on Psalm 23:6 and the word "follow" (or "pursue"): "The use of רָדַף (radaf, “pursue, chase”) with טוֹב וָחֶסֶד (tov vakhesed, “goodness and faithfulness”) as subject is ironic. This is the only place in the entire OT where either of these nouns appears as the subject of this verb רָדַף (radaf, “pursue”). This verb is often used to describe the hostile actions of enemies. One might expect the psalmist's enemies (see v. 5) to chase him, but ironically God's “goodness and faithfulness” (which are personified and stand by metonymy for God himself) pursue him instead. The word “pursue” is used outside of its normal context in an ironic manner and creates a unique, but pleasant word picture of God's favor (or a kind God) “chasing down” the one whom he loves."Scriptures referenced:Matthew 15:8John 17:3John 6:63Psalm 127:1Psalm 27:8Matthew 11:28Psalm 138:3Psalm 9:1-2Psalm 8:3-4Psalm 1:2-3Psalm 18:28-29Psalm 51:10Psalm 30:11-12Psalm 13:1-6Psalm 10:1Psalm 27:10Psalm 7:1-2Psalm 46:1-3Psalm 147:10-11Psalm 143:7-12Psalm 63:1-4, 8Psalm 139:1-16Psalm 23**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**I said the guy who disciples me had me write on the front cover, "I read this book to know Jesus more."

When Jesus was crucified and buried in a borrowed tomb, it appeared to many of His followers that all hope was lost. However, Jesus came to demonstrate that what appeared to be an enduring defeat was merely a brief pause on His path to triumph over death, Hell, and the grave. His resurrection illustrates that just as He did not remain in the tomb, we can also emerge from life's circumstances and embrace the power of resurrection.03/31/2024 - Resurrection SundayScriptures Used (In Order of Occurrence):Luke 24:1-8John 12:35II Corinthians 4:4, 4:6John 8:12Psalm 119:105John 1:9Mark 5:3John 1:4-5Matthew 4:16Psalm 18:28

In this episode we talk about the joy that comes as a result of being in the presence of God and how important it is that we be walking in that joy.Other episodes referenced in this one:Episode 72: A sacrifice of praiseListen to the sermon by J. D. Greear that I mentionedBelow is the quote from J. D. Greear that I read near the end. Two people asked for it after this lesson was originally given; so, I wanted to include it here as well in case anyone else wanted to note it down."When the Holy Spirit, your real Shepherd speaks, it's in the context of hope. Yes, He will convict you of sin, but when He does, it is redemptive. He identifies what He wants you to change, He gives you a plan to do it, and He assures you of His ability to accomplish it through your life. His voice leads to clarity, and love, and life. When one of the demonic realm speaks to you with a fiery dart, it is in the context of condemnation and despair. It is never clear what they want you to change, there is certainly no hope or no redemption in it. The voice just screams hopelessness and despair.…When our enemy speaks, it has the soundtrack of death, and defeat, and confusion, and despair. When Jesus speaks, it is filled with invitation, and clarity, and love, and hope. Any voice leading you to confusion and despair is your enemy's voice, even if it's using valid questions or pointing out true facts.…My shepherd never leads to confusion and darkness. He leads only to life. Even if Satan is pointing out true things in your life, if it's leading you to despair, recognize that as his voice and resist it.…In your life, the voice of despair is the voice of Satan and never the voice of the Holy Spirit."Scriptures referenced:Matthew 4:4Ephesians 1:17Psalm 63Psalm 4:6-7Numbers 6:24-26Psalm 16:11Psalm 34:5Psalm 34:8John 15:4-5Galatians 5:22-23Psalm 36:7-9Psalm 37:4Malachi 1:6-14Psalm 50:14-15Psalm 50:23Hebrews 13:151 Thessalonians 5:16-18Psalm 69:30-31Philippians 2:13Matthew 3:13-4:11James 1:2-4Romans 8:28James 1:25Psalm 66:16Psalm 34:1-3Proverbs 27:21Luke 17:11-19Hebrews 11:6Psalm 1:1-3John 15:9-11Psalm 33:1Psalm 40:16Psalm 59:17Psalm 71:8Hebrews 12:2Matthew 7:7James 4:2Philippians 4:6-7John 10:10Matthew 11:28Romans 8:1John 14:16-17Revelation 12:10-11Romans 8:33-34**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**I switched the word order of Romans 8:28 (although it didn't affect the meaning). Here is the correct wording: "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."When I said I could think of two times where the Lord really did something in my life and then I was hit with anxiety, I meant that there are two times I could think of that intense anxiety immediately followed what the Lord did. I didn't mean to imply that I could think of only two times when I could remember Him working in my circumstances. I can think of countless times He has worked!Support the showIf you feel so led, you can support the podcast by clicking HERE or by clicking the "Support the show" button above.
