"Is It Worth It?"The Last Word Part 52 Timothy 2:8-13February 15, 2026Will Washington

PSALM 44 For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. 1 We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago. 2 With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish. 3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. 4 You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. 5 Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. 6 I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; 7 but you give us victory over our enemies, you put put our adversaries to shame. 8 In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. 9 But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with your armies. 10 You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us. 11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations. 12 You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale. 13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us. 14 You made us a byword among the nations ; the peoples shake their heads at us. 15 My disgrace is before me all day long, and my face is covered with shame 16 at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge. 17 All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant, 18 Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path. 19 But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness. 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, 21 would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart? 22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. 23 Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever. 24 Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression? 25 We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. 26 Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love. NIV 84 LESSON NOTES Praise Is a Process Psalm 44:1–8 reminds us that praise is the fruit of a process. We remember God in the past, trust Him in the present, and praise Him in the future. Skipping remembering and trusting leads to just singing rather than genuine praise. Inherited Belief Must Become Personal Allegiance “Their faith” must become “my faith.” The psalmist moves from “our fathers told us” (v.1) to “You are my King and my God” (v.4). Spiritual maturity happens when we add our signature to the story — when God becomes personally trusted in the present. When Theology Doesn't Seem to Work The turning point — “But now” (v.9) — captures the tension of undeserved suffering. The people are experiencing the curses of disobedience while claiming covenant faithfulness. Psalm 44 gives language to that painful question: What do we do when our experience contradicts our expectations and explanations? God Invites Honest Protest Verses 9–21 model bold, uncensored prayer. He protests. He wrestles. He brings confusion to God rather than away from Him. Faith is not pretending everything is fine — it is bringing everything honestly before the Lord. Hesed Has the Final Word The psalm ends with one emphatic word: hesed — unfailing, covenant love. Paul quotes Psalm 44:22 in Romans 8 to show that even unexplained suffering cannot separate us from Christ's love. When answers fail, God's steadfast love remains. His hesed is the trump card. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What are specific ways you intentionally “remember” what God has done? How does remembering strengthen your faith during difficult seasons? 2. When did your faith move from “theirs” (family, church, tradition) to “mine”?  What helps you continue making that transition daily? 3. Have you experienced a “But now” season — where your experience seemed to contradict your expectations and explanations? How did you respond? 4. Why do you think many Christians struggle to bring protests to God? What would it look like this week to pray with more honesty? 5. When answers are unclear, what does it practically mean to “cling to His unfailing love”? How does Romans 8:35–39 strengthen your confidence during hardship?

"Strengthened"The Last Word Part 42 Timothy 2:1-7February 8, 2026Will Washington

I will confess that I did not know how to end this sermon. All week I worried about how to wrap it all up and I fear the art and text may leave us with more questions than answers. But then I remembered a line from the theologian Chris Green. Basically, he says to preachers, if you don't what to say, then tell the church what the text makes you want to pray - for them, for yourself, for your family and friends, for the world, for the church. I pray that all shall be saved. Maybe that's naive or beyond the scope of the Gospel, but it is my prayer. I pray for God to move among us so that we treat all people of having sacred worth, not matter what they've done or left undone. I pray that God won't give up on us, even if we give up on God. I pray that God's power really is such that every broken thing will be mended, every tear will be wiped away, and that heaven will be crowded.

On this episode of The LA Food Podcast, we're doing a little bit of everything — industry analysis, hot takes, and a long, thoughtful sit-down with two people quietly shaping what neighborhood dining looks like in Los Angeles right now.In Part 1, Father Sal joins Luca to break down the 2026 James Beard Award semifinalists. LA had a massive showing this year, but how does it stack up against past years — and which semifinalists actually have a real shot at winning? We dig into the numbers, the narratives, and what Beard recognition really means in 2026. In Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, we cover Noma selling out in three minutes (and then making bagels), Bill Addison taking the gloves off, Firstborn LA going all-in on prix fixe, and a handful of LA chefs landing on one of the year's most anticipated culinary TV shows.In Part 2, Luca sits down with Adam Weisblatt, Co-Founder and Partner of Last Word Hospitality, and DK Kolender, Chef and Partner of Hermon's, one of LA's most talked-about new neighborhood restaurants. We start with Hermon's — the vision, the food, the drinks, and why it already feels like it's been here forever — before zooming out to talk about Last Word's broader strategy behind Found Oyster, Queen's, Barra Santos, and more. Adam and DK share hard-earned perspective on building restaurants people actually return to, thriving as a restaurant group in today's LA, and how they think about growth, praise, and sustainability. We close with reflections on Last Word Hospitality's recent James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur nomination and what success looks like moving forward.Powered by Acquired Taste
