2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.4 For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.5 Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire.6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.Isaiah 9:2-7PACK THE HOUSE SLIDE*2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.Isaiah 9:2-79 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. John 1:9-11DAWN OF THE PROMISE9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”Matthew 9:9-13His [Matthew's] occupation as a tax collector implies that he had training in scribal techniques and was thus able to write…Crossway Study Bible, ESVMatthew, The Chosen picture***His [Matthew's] occupation as a tax collector implies that he had training in scribal techniques and was thus able to write, while his identity as a Galilean Jewish Christian suggests his ability to interpret the words and actions of Jesus in light of Old Testament messianic expectations.Crossway Study Bible, ESV1 This is the genealogy[a] of Jesus the Messiah[b] the son of David, the son of Abraham:2 Abraham was the father of Isaac,Isaac the father of Jacob,Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar,Perez the father of Hezron,Hezron the father of Ram,4 Ram the father of Amminadab,Amminadab the father of Nahshon,Nahshon the father of Salmon,5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,Obed the father of Jesse,6 and Jesse the father of King David.David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife,7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam,Rehoboam the father of Abijah,Abijah the father of Asa,8 Asa the father of Jehoshaphat,Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram,Jehoram the father of Uzziah,9 Uzziah the father of Jotham,Jotham the father of Ahaz,Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,10 Hezekiah the father of Manasseh,Manasseh the father of Amon,Amon the father of Josiah,11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.12 After the exile to Babylon:Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel,Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,13 Zerubbabel the father of Abihud,Abihud the father of Eliakim,Eliakim the father of Azor,14 Azor the father of Zadok,Zadok the father of Akim,Akim the father of Elihud,15 Elihud the father of Eleazar,Eleazar the father of Matthan,Matthan the father of Jacob,16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.Matthew 1:2-27WHEN GOD MAKES PROMISES, HE FULFILLS THEMThe Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you.2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a]3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”Genesis 12:1-3All this may sound too good to be true, but it will be done. God – the LORD of all heavenly armies – has promised to accomplish this wordCharles SpurgeonGOD'S PROMISES REQUIRE FAITH18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d] 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:18-22"Oh, that men would see that all God's ancient promises find their yes in Christ!

Continued story of King David
The period of Judges and Ruth was dark. God raised up Samuel as a prophet, priest, and judge when He answered childless Hannah's fervent prayer. Samuel was committed to doing what was right in God's sight, sadly Eli, the current priest, and sons were not. Eli's dealings with his erring sons teaches us we have to do more than just talk. From Samuel, the last judge, to Saul, the first king, is a tumultuous time. Fear becomes Saul's focus trumping growth in his relationship with God. Amazingly, Saul's son, Jonathan, shines because he does put God first. Fearless faith enables Jonathan to humbly embrace David as the next king instead of himself.David was anointed king before his famous fight with Goliath in chapter 17. We notice the timeline between David's anointing as king and him actually becoming king was quite a gap. David's brothers were about as encouraging as Joseph's. Was it jealousy? Brothers can be a blessing or a burden, this is true in all relationships, let's choose to be a Johnathan not an Eliab! The end of the first book of Samuel gets ugly for King Saul, he's blinded by jealousy and cannot stop chasing David, he's not listening to Samuel, and he's not obeying God. After Samuel dies, Saul decides to have a medium bring him up. Sad picture of lost opportunities, we can learn much for Saul. Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!2 Samuel depicts the ups and downs of King David's life. We learn that sin separates and that no one sins in a vacuum, we can get forgiveness most assuredly sin has consequences. David's children suffered. Kudos to Nathan, who had the hard talk with David using the vehicle of story!Through it all, David is a man after God's own heart. Are we following his example as we meet the ups and downs of our earthly walk? Please join Kate and Sheila as they recap these two insightful books in God's Holy Word! Blessings to you dear listeners, may we all GROW closer to God each day!

Paul's argument in Romans 4 stands as proof that God counts people righteous not because they earn it, but because they trust Him. Faith is taking God at His Word even when our instincts and circumstances push us toward doubt.The message traces how God responds to trust in both the obedient and the broken, to those who seem to “get it right” (Abraham) and those who've blown their lives to pieces (King David). By the end, the pattern becomes unmistakable: what God extended to Abraham and David, He still extends today. Not wages due, but a gift only He can give.What you'll discover:· Why the most obedient man in the Old Testament still couldn't brag before God. And how that exposes something in us.· What a king with catastrophic failure teaches us about the kind of righteousness God actually gives.· How a single Greek word opens up the logic of salvation in Romans 4.· The surprising reason both religious overachievers and exhausted sinners misunderstand faith the exact same way.· What happens when someone finally takes God at His Word and why that changes more than you think.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving
In 2 Samuel 9. We discover how this crippled grandson of King Saul, living in Lo-debar—a desolate wasteland—was pursued, carried, restored, and transformed by King David's grace, foreshadowing what Christ does for each of us. The vivid contrast between a Cambodian killing field and an orphanage called 'the home of grace' illustrates our own spiritual journey from darkness to light. Just as Mephibosheth saw himself as a 'dead dog' yet was seated at the king's table as one of his own sons, we too are transformed from wretched sinners to beloved children of God. The bread and cup we share aren't symbols of defeat but of victory—reminders that we always have access to God's sustaining grace. We learn that grace isn't a one-time transaction but a daily provision, like manna in the wilderness, sufficient for whatever we face. Most beautifully, we're reminded that one day what we celebrate symbolically will become reality when we recline at table with Jesus himself at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Now King David was Old | Haftara | Chayei Sara | 5786, by Rav Eli Weber Rav Eli Weber begins a new series of shiurim, "This Week's Haftara". What is the legacy of David HaMelekh?
Sunday Morning Message - Psalm 62In this message from November 16, Pastor Kyle explores King David's response to insurmountable circumstances and how he chose to anchor his soul in God alone. In a world that constantly demands our attention and offers countless false sources of security, David models for us the discipline of waiting in silence before God. This passage reminds us that what we learn in desperation will help us stay focused on what truly matters when life is well. As we head into the holiday season, this word helps us walk forward with greater perspective and fuller joy, knowing that our hope, identity, stability, and security all rest in Christ alone.
This Sunday is more than a message—it's a moment.Over the last six weeks, we've watched God move in incredible ways—people fasting, praying, giving, and believing for what's next. Families have been dedicated, lives have been changed, and now… it's our turn to step out in faith together.Join us for Commitment Sunday—the powerful conclusion of our Difference Maker series. We'll look at how King David's dream to build God's house became a reality when God's people united in faith and generosity. You'll discover how God still uses ordinary people with willing hearts to do extraordinary thingstoday.You'll walk away inspired to:✅ Dream Bigger—like David, who envisioned a permanent home for God's presence.✅ Give Boldly—not out of pressure, but out of purpose and gratitude.✅ Step Out in Faith—believing God can do more through us together than any of us could alone.This will be a historic day for our church as we take our next step toward a permanent home for Real Life—and for the generations to come.
We want to spend the bulk of our time together in meditation on a powerful chapter that King David wrote. Today, our focus will be to understand who we are, we must first know that God is God and we are not. So much of the issues in our lives regarding our identity is when we try to keep ourselves on the throne when we were never created to sit there. Only our God.(Psalm 84 NLT)How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven's Armies. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young at a place near your altar, O Lord of Heaven's Armies, my King and my God! What joy for those who can live in your house, always singing your praises. What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings. They will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem. O Lord God of Heaven's Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, O God of Jacob. … A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. O Lord of Heaven's Armies, what joy for those who trust in you.What phrase or thought stood out to you? Consider why. What is God saying to you right now?Listen to verse 5-7 from the Message BibleAnd how blessed all those in whom you live,whose lives become roads you travel;They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks,discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain!God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain, andat the last turn—Zion! God in full view!Is there a lonesome valley you are facing right now?Then listen to the closing words once more - For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. O Lord of Heaven's Armies, what joy for those who trust in you.Let's pray: “Father, David used the word ‘joy' many times in this Psalm. Help me to find more joy in You and in my life. I need You to be my sun and my shield. Please give me Your grace and glory. I want to do what is right in Your eyes so You will withhold no good thing from me. As above, so below.”
In this conversation, Pastors Andreas Beccai, Dave Ferguson, and Paddy McCoy delve into the darker aspects of human nature, discussing how easily one can slip into moral downfall. They explore how King David could go from a man after God's own heart, to being ok with murder and rape. The fall from temptation to sin is discussed, and as dark as it may seem at times, there is still hope to be found when you understand the heart of God who continues to chase after us, even when.
Friday, 14 November 2025 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. Matthew 14:11 “And his head, it was carried upon a platter, and it was given to the damsel, and she carried to her mother” (CG). In the previous verse, it was noted that Herod sent and he beheaded John in prison. It next says, “And his head, it was borne upon a platter.” The word pheró, to bear, is introduced here. HELPS Word Studies says, “properly, to bear, carry (bring) along, especially temporarily or to a definite (prescribed) conclusion (defined by the individual context).” Once John was beheaded, it was placed upon a platter, being carried to its now rightful owner according to the oath made by Herod. It next says, “and it was given to the damsel.” Something new concerning Herodias' daughter is seen here. She is called a damsel, a little girl. It explains why she went to her mother (as recorded in Mark) to determine what she should ask for when the oath and offer were extended to her by Herod. From the prison where John was beheaded, it was borne by an attendant and taken to Herodias' daughter. She was the one who had pleased Herod in the dance and to whom the promise was made. Therefore, the burden of carrying it to its final destination was accomplished by her. As it says, “and she bore to her mother.” Nothing beyond this is recorded concerning what happened to the head. Some extra-biblical comments about it have been made, but the Bible itself is silent on the matter. Life application: In the story of the life of King David, the account of David encountering Goliath on the battlefield is recorded. There it says – “So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.” 1 Samuel 17:48-51 A bit later, it says, “And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent” (1 Samuel 17:54). To understand the significance of what occurred in that account, sermons from the Superior Word detail the events and their typological significance in detail. One thing that can be deduced about the beheading of John is connected to that account concerning Goliath. Everything about the law is associated with death. God gave Adam a law in the Garden of Eden. Adam violated that law, and it brought about his death (Genesis 2:17), and it also brought about death in humanity (Romans 5:12). Even Jesus, who was under the Law of Moses, died in fulfillment of it. It was a necessary death for grace to be bestowed. John the Immerser was the final prophet under the law. He was the herald of the coming of Christ. As such, he was destined to die as an example of the law's power of death over life. Only in coming to Christ's completed work is the matter reversed, and life, meaning life in Christ, prevails over death. As terrible as the account concerning John the Baptist is, we are being instructed in the difference set forth between Adam's failure and Christ's victory. This includes the death of John, who proclaimed law to the world. The law had to come to an end for grace to be bestowed. John is the one who brought it to that point. Jesus is the One who then acted, completing the task and offering something far more glorious to the people of the world. Let us never forget the lesson of law vs. grace. Hold fast to the grace of God as it is revealed in the Person and work of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Lord God, in the end, it is all about what You are doing in Christ Jesus for the people of the world. Help us to remember this and to hold fast to this truth. We don't need more law! What we need is grace. Thank You for the grace offered through His completed work. Amen.

Send us a textWidespread violence. A single family building a vast ark. A promise sealed with a rainbow. We open Genesis 6 and take a hard look at whether Noah stands as legend or as sober history—and why that question shapes the way we read every page of Scripture. Rather than argue about trivia, we trace how the Bible itself treats Noah: Isaiah anchors God's covenant to the “waters of Noah,” Ezekiel lists Noah with Daniel and Job as exemplars of righteousness, and the genealogies in Chronicles and Luke include Noah in the line that leads to King David and, ultimately, to Jesus.From there, we go straight to the words of Jesus. When describing His return, He points to “the days of Noah,” not as a metaphor that melts under scrutiny but as the historical frame for understanding sudden judgment and urgent readiness. Peter calls Noah a herald of righteousness, reinforcing the New Testament's consistent witness. If the prophets, the apostles and the Lord Himself speak of Noah as real, the implications are clear: confidence in Scripture isn't piecework. It's a whole-cloth conviction that holds when culture scoffs.We also confront a modern habit—editing the Bible to fit our tastes. Drawing on the closing warning of Revelation, we talk about the danger of adding or subtracting from God's word, and how selective skepticism hollows out not only Genesis but also the miracles and the resurrection. If God is almighty, leading Noah to build a massive vessel and judging a corrupt world is not beyond Him; it's a display of holiness and mercy. Along the way, we offer a steady, pastoral path for listeners wrestling with doubt: trust the text, consider the witnesses, and let the Word strengthen your faith from Genesis to Revelation.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find these conversations.

Even when life knocks you down, God's grace calls you to get back up. In this episode of Talk'N Truth, Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy), Pastor Bryan Clark, and Arnie Cole unpack the story of King David in 2 Samuel 15—his decade of guilt, the leadership vacuum that followed, and the moment he finally stepped back into God's calling. The crew dives into why so many believers—especially seasoned Christians—struggle with guilt, spiritual apathy, and criticism, and how those patterns can sideline us from God's mission. Through humor, honesty, and biblical insight, they explore what it means to move from regret to restoration and why “no failure is final” for those who trust God's forgiveness. Whether you've fallen hard, drifted from purpose, or simply lost your joy, this powerful conversation reminds you that grace doesn't retire—and it's never too late to rejoin the game. Perfect for viewers interested in: Christian encouragement, 2 Samuel 15, King David, grace and restoration, leadership and faith, overcoming guilt, spiritual stagnation, faith after failure, joy in Christ, and Christian living. #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #KingDavid #2Samuel15 #FaithAfterFailure #Restoration #Grace #Forgiveness #LarryTheCableGuy #BryanClark #ArnieCole #BacktotheBible #TalkingTruth #ChristianEncouragement #NoFailureFinal #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianLeadership

Join us for a special episode of CURE America, where host Pastor Donald T. Eason sits down with Star Parker, the founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE). This conversation was recorded live at the 2025 CURE Clergy Policy Summit, held in Washington, DC at the iconic Willard Hotel. Star, who has authored four books drawing from her own journey out of welfare, shares insights from her 30 years building an organization dedicated to helping others achieve independence and dignity. This episode offers a unique look at the transition of leadership at CURE, captured amid a gathering of over 400 pastors focused on faith-driven solutions for urban communities. The discussion begins with the hand-off, as Star explains to Donald that after three decades of leading, it's time for a new chapter—one she believes requires strong pastoral guidance from men in the community. She emphasizes why the next steps in addressing inner-city challenges must come from pastors rather than politicians, and why she chose this moment to step aside while remaining involved. From there, Star addresses why she views Social Security as a modern-day barrier to wealth-building, particularly for black families. She argues that allowing individuals to invest the 12.4% deducted from their paychecks could close the wealth gap in a single generation, highlighting how the current system prevents families from passing on inheritances. The pair also explores the drawbacks of minimum-wage laws through a biblical lens, noting with a mix of humor and seriousness how such policies might have disrupted the story of Ruth and Boaz—potentially altering the lineage leading to King David and Jesus. They tie this to broader lessons from Scripture about opportunity and hard work. Star shares a recurring prophecy she's heard from several sources: that the next Great Awakening in America will emerge through the Black church. She sees the summit itself as evidence that this moment is unfolding now, urging collaboration between churches to drive real change. In the closing moments, Star delivers a direct call to action, stating that every church should function as a school and every pastor as a policy influencer. Without this engagement, she warns, government efforts will continue to fall short in fixing community issues. Overall, this episode focuses on the evolution of a longstanding movement, offering practical wisdom and inspiration for viewers committed to faith-driven solutions.
Pastor Chas Stevenson
The story of King David and Bathsheba provides one of the Bible's most honest examinations of how quickly things can spiral out of control. Here was a man after God's own heart, the giant-slayer, the psalmist, the humble shepherd who becomes king against all odds—now an adulterer and even a murderer. In what should be a season of triumph and prosperity, David experiences his greatest moral failure. Listen in as we learn an important lesson from David's life: sin will cost you everything.
This week, Pastor Brandon shares a powerful message about “Worship That Gives Back” — a reminder that everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him. Looking at 1 Chronicles 29:10–16, we see how King David's overflowing gratitude led to radical generosity and true worship.Discover how giving isn't just a financial decision but a spiritual act of worship that reflects humility, gratitude, and trust in God. When we see our resources as temporary gifts from a generous Father, our hearts shift from “have to” to “get to.”Whether you've struggled with stewardship, generosity, or simply understanding how giving connects to worship, this message will challenge and encourage you to live with open hands and a grateful heart.

In this rich conversation with Torah scholar and Tanakh author Dr. Nechama Price, we explore the complex closing of David's life in this week's haftorah. How is his end both similar and different from Avraham's final chapter? How can we understand the motives of several secondary characters in this complex narrative? How does Divrei Ha-Yamim present these same events and how do we know which version is correct? A short conversation with Dr. Necham Price is always packed with insightful Torah-Enjoy! This episode is sponsored by Barbara and Joel Rich in commemoration of Barbara's father's 13th yahrtzeit. This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah, the prophetic portion read each week as a complement to the parsha.
Send us a textThis is a rebroadcast of our 08/24/24 program.GUEST: SCOTT ANIOL, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 MinistriesThere is no more important issue and pursuit than worshipping God. It's more important than who will be our next president, more important than world peace, more important than your health, financial security, and whatever else we treasure.Scripture makes the primacy of worship clear: King David prayed, “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all” (1 Chronicles 29:11).Paul wrote, “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Cor 10:31).King Solomon exhorted, “The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear [reverence, awe] God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)Psalms, the songbook of the Bible, closes this way: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 150:6)God created man as a worshipful being. We can see this because everyone worships someone or something. If God isn't worshipped, a false god will be substituted—person, pleasure, possession, position, popularity, power, to name just a few.God, as Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and Sovereign over all, deserves our worship. Our peace, purpose, and pleasure in life is directly proportional to how rightly and authentically we worship the Creator.Our guest this weekend is Scott Aniol, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 Ministries. G3, which stands for “Gospel—Grace—Glory”, is a Christian organization that aims to strengthen the local church through conferences, resources, online articles, podcasts, expository preaching workshops, biblical worship workshops, and local church-based curriculum for Sunday school and small groups.”Scott Aniol will join us to discuss “The Primacy of Worship”. He explains in a five-part column series corresponding to each of the “five solas” of the Reformation that worship is even more important than salvation, for salvation is the entry point to proper worship of God.This program aims to be a helpful for individual Christians and also the church, for worship includes but is far more encompassing than music alone.-------------------Manger in Danger for a donation of $30 or moreRELATED ARTICLES:The Primacy of Worship Scott Aniol's series on the 5 Solas of WorshipScripture AloneGrace Alone in Christ AloneFaith AloneTo the Glory of God Alone
On November 2nd, Kris delivered a powerful message about "Raising Royalty" and how we as believers must learn to behave as the royal priesthood God has called us to be. Many of us don't naturally know how to behave in the King's palace! Kris shares stories about his own family's journey and examines King David's royal dysfunction to reveal how our inability to confront lovingly creates generational damage. When we avoid healthy confrontation with our children and loved ones, we risk raising entitled rather than empowered heirs. This message will equip you with biblical wisdom to build a healthy royal family that can transform your community. Listen in as we discover how to raise royalty who will carry the Kingdom forward for generations to come!

“For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Luke 11:10 NLT) Pride and self-sufficiency are two big obstacles to spiritual growth. A good way to overcome them is to cry out to God when you need help. The Bible tells the story of Simon Peter, who had the extraordinary experience of walking on water with Jesus. When the impossibility of the situation began to dawn on him, however, his faith faltered. He cried out, “Save me, Lord!” (Matthew 14:30 NLT). How easily Jesus could have said, “Where is your faith, Peter? You made your bed; now lie on it. Try swimming.” But the Bible says, “Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him” (Matthew 14:31 NLT). Immediately. I like that. When you begin to sink and cry out, “Lord, save me!” He will immediately reach out. But you must cry out for His help. And that’s hard for some people to do. As a kid, I spent a lot of time at the beach. When I was out bodysurfing one day, a big set of waves started coming in. So, I did what I was supposed to do: I swam toward the waves and went under them. When I looked up, there was another set. I swam under those, too. One set after another came. In time, I drifted so far out that the people on the beach looked like little ants to me. Suddenly, I felt exhausted—with no strength left and nothing to hold onto. In that moment, I knew I was in trouble. I realized I had two choices. I could cry, “Help!” and the lifeguard would come running with his life preserver. When we got to shore, my friends would laugh, and I would never live it down. Or I could drown with dignity. I cried out! A lot of us don’t want to admit our need. We don’t want to cry out to God. We want to maintain our dignity. To get the proper perspective on what to do in times of need, we need to look to God’s Word. Jonah cried out to God after he was swallowed by a giant fish (see Jonah 2:1–9). Hannah cried out to God for a son. First Samuel 1:10 says she “was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord” (NLT). King David was under tremendous stress when he wrote, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help?” (Psalm 22:1 NLT). Jesus quoted the words of Psalm 22 when He cried out to God from the cross (see Matthew 27:46). If Jesus wasn’t too proud to cry out to God, neither should we be. There are only so many things we can do to help ourselves. Crying out to God frees us from our own limitations. It opens a whole world of possibilities. God can bring ultimate good from any situation. All we have to do is cry out to Him for help. Every day of my life, I need the best God has to offer. And you do, too. Reflection question: What do you need to cry out to God about in your life?

Dr. Daniel Ragusa speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Ragusa, focuses on the dark period of Israel's exile and how it illuminates the deep human longing to return to God's presence, which had been lost due to their rebellion. Dr. Ragusa first establishes the devastating nature of exile by contrasting it with the desired state of dwelling in God's house, a theme illustrated by the pilgrimage described in Psalm 23. He references the Heidelberg Catechism to frame the Christian experience as moving from the "valley of exile" (sin and misery) up to the "mountain of God" (righteousness and everlasting life) through the work of the "mountain ascending mediator," Jesus Christ. Crucially, even in the midst of the exile's darkness, God's hope continues to shine through the prophets, promising restoration, which is ultimately fulfilled in the gospel and glory of Jesus Christ.
