Consider Joseph's Powerful Reflection on His Love and Divine Purpose. Are You Willing to Accept Unanticipated/Unwanted Roles God Has Prepared for You? MESSAGE SUMMARY: In this powerful reflection on love and divine purpose, we're invited to explore the profound journey of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. As we delve into this narrative, we're reminded of the transformative power of faith and obedience. Joseph's story, rooted in the Gospel of Matthew, showcases how God's plans often unfold in unexpected ways, challenging our preconceptions and inviting us into a deeper trust. The transcription beautifully illustrates the internal struggle Joseph faced, balancing his love for Mary with his sense of duty and the overwhelming responsibility of raising the Son of God. This narrative encourages us to consider how we respond to God's surprising interventions in our own lives. Are we ready, like Joseph, to embrace a calling that may seem daunting or even impossible? As we reflect on Joseph's journey, we're prompted to examine our own willingness to step into roles that God has prepared for us, even when they seem beyond our capabilities. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, God is working His will in my life. (Philippians 2:13). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV) 1) Joseph and Mary's situation: Matthew 1:18-25 - The story of Joseph considering divorcing Mary quietly and the angel's message to him; 2) Jesus as the Son of God and Son of David: Luke 1:32-33 - "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David."; 3) The virgin birth prophecy: Isaiah 7:14 - "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel."; 4) God's guidance through dreams: Matthew 1:20 - "But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream..."; 5) Joseph's role as Jesus' earthly father: Luke 2:41-52 - The story of Jesus in the temple, where Joseph is referred to as His father; 6) The concept of adoption in God's plan: Ephesians 1:5 - "He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will."; 7) Jesus as Emmanuel (God with us): Matthew 1:23 - "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"); 8) God's overflowing love: 1 John 4:8 - "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."; and 9) The theme of obedience to God's commands: John 14:15 - "If you love me, keep my commands.".

Joseph Experiences a Profound Exploration of Human Love and Divine Purpose as He Grapples with His Role in the Greatest Story Ever Told MESSAGE SUMMARY: In this profound exploration of love and divine purpose, we're invited to witness the inner struggle of Joseph as he grapples with his role in the greatest story ever told. The narrative beautifully weaves together themes of trust, obedience, and the transformative power of God's love. We're reminded that sometimes our greatest callings come wrapped in uncertainty, much like Joseph's middle-of-the-night revelations. The episode challenges us to consider: How often do we tremble at the magnitude of God's plans for our lives? It encourages us to embrace the 'desert rain' of divine love, even when it defies our expectations. As we reflect on Joseph's journey, we're prompted to examine our own willingness to step into roles that God has prepared for us, even when they seem beyond our capabilities. This message resonates deeply with anyone facing life-changing decisions or unexpected responsibilities, reminding us that with God's guidance, we can rise to extraordinary callings.

We Are Invited to Reflect on Joseph's Extraordinary Journey, As We Contemplate His Struggles Along with His Love and Joy MESSAGE SUMMARY: In this profound exploration of love and divine purpose, we're invited to reflect on Joseph's extraordinary journey. As we contemplate his struggles with an unexpected pregnancy and the weight of raising the Son of God, we're reminded of how God often works in mysterious ways.

Just as Joseph was called to 'adopt the one who will adopt the world,' we too are asked to embrace our unique roles in God's grand design. This narrative encourages us to see beyond our immediate circumstances and recognize the beautiful symphony God is composing in our lives.

The Angel's Message to Mary Is God's Testament to His Unfathomable Love and Plan for Humanity's Redemption MESSAGE SUMMARY: In this profound exploration of the Annunciation, we're invited to witness the moment that changed history forever. The angel's message to Mary isn't just a historical event; it's a testament to God's unfathomable love and His plan for humanity's redemption.

God's Timing Is Perfect, Even When It Seems Delayed MESSAGE SUMMARY: In this powerful Advent message, we're invited to explore the transformative story of Zechariah, an aging priest whose encounter with an angel shatters his hopelessness. This narrative from Luke's Gospel reminds us that God's timing is perfect, even when it seems delayed. As we reflect on Zechariah's initial disbelief, we're challenged to examine our own faith in the face of seemingly impossible promises. The angel's proclamation about John the Baptist - that 'none born of women' would be like him - emphasizes the extraordinary nature of God's plan. This story encourages us to remain faithful in our spiritual routines, for it's often in these moments of ordinary service that God breaks through with extraordinary revelations. As we journey through Advent, let's open our hearts to unexpected messages of hope, trusting that God can breathe new life into our weariest moments. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, God is working His will in my life. (Philippians 2:13). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 1) Luke 1:5-25 - This passage tells the story of Zechariah in the temple, his encounter with the angel, and the prophecy about John the Baptist; 2) Luke 1:8-9 - Specifically mentions Zechariah being chosen by lot to enter the temple and burn incense; 3) Luke 1:11-13 - Describes the angel appearing to Zechariah and announcing that his prayer has been heard; 4) Luke 1:18-20 - Zechariah's disbelief and subsequent muteness; 5) Matthew 11:11 or Luke 7:28 - The Devotional repeatedly mentions "None born of women like him," which alludes to Jesus' words about John the Baptist: "Among those born of women there is no one greater than John."; and 6) Malachi 3:1 and 4:5-6 - These Old Testament prophecies about a messenger preparing the way for the Lord are fulfilled in John the Baptist, as mentioned in the New Testament.

Since Creation, Jesus Has Come; and He Will Come Again! MESSAGE SUMMARY: As we enter the Advent season, we're invited to embark on a profound spiritual journey that connects us to the very foundations of our faith. This series, 'Firstborn,' takes us back to the dawn of creation, reminding us of God's masterful handiwork and His ultimate plan for humanity. We're challenged to confront the reality of human sinfulness and our deep need for a Savior. This narrative arc from creation to redemption beautifully sets the stage for the coming of Christ, both in His first advent as a humble baby and His promised return as the triumphant judge. As we reflect on these themes, we're called to examine our own lives and prepare our hearts for Christ's coming. How can we, in this season, align ourselves more closely with God's grand design for humanity? TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, God is working His will in my life. (Philippians 2:13). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 1) Jesus as the Light of Life: John 1:4-5, John 8:12; 2) Creation and God's role as Creator: Genesis 1:1-31 (entire chapter on creation), Colossians 1:16; 3) Human sinfulness and need for a Savior: Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12; 4) Advent and the coming of Christ: Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 2:1-20; 5) Zacharias and Elizabeth: Luke 1:5-25; 6) Mary and Joseph: Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38; 7) Second Coming of Christ: Matthew 24:30-31, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

This week, we look at Psalm 73, which takes us on a journey of They, Me, and You. It's a common journey of looking around at others' lives, and how we can look up to God and handle feelings like envy, anger, and disappointment. Please note: If you'd like to listen to the song that Pete mentions towards the end of the talk, please look up 'Psalm 73' by Poor Bishop Hooper on Spotify.
This week Noah talks about Psalm 15 and the unique attributes this song brings to our lives. He also gives a few anecdotes about his own experiences with this psalm and why it means so much to him. He specifically focuses on the way people treat one another and how that mattered immensely to ancient Israelite people.

This episode we dive into a psalm which continues onward into Psalm 10. These two psalms were originally one psalm and only in the middle ages where they split apart. Today, Noah talks about the first section of this psalm, where a psalmist prays to God for justice on his enemies. There are a lot of similarities in this psalm to Psalm 7, so if you haven't checked out that episode go ahead and listen to it as well to get the full context of this episode.

This episode Noah talks about justice and the difference between Old Testament and New Testament justice as the psalmist cries out to God for justice to happen on his enemies.

This episode Noah unpacks the dense and often under-explained Psalm 4. This episode focuses on helpful ways to navigate emotions which the Psalmist finds he feels. The writer first reports his feelings and then finds a way through them that allow for his heart to rejoice for others and be at peace with God.

However, sin comes into the world necessitating the need for "A Means of Grace and the Hope for Glory", the Christ. 12/3/23: In this episode “Hope”, the Holy Spirit's notifies the aging but unbelieving Priest, Zechariah, that his barren wife Elizebeth will give birth to John the Baptizer, who will prepare the way for God's Grace for undeserved Salvation, through birth of His Son. 12/10/23: In this episode “Peace”, the Virgin Mary is notified by an Angel that God, through the Holy Spirit, will bless her with the birth of The Christ, the promised Mesiah; and He will be named Jesus. 12/17/23: In this episode “Joy”, Elizabeth is visited by her cousin, Mary as they share both the joy of their unanticipated pregnancies and the assume blessing of God's favor for them and the World, the Incarnate Jesus 12/24/23: The episode, “Love”, depicts the struggles that Joseph is facing from both his love and duty to an, as yet, unmarried but pregnant Mary. Also, Joseph is coming to grips with burden and responsibility of his early-life fatherhood for Jesus, who is Father God, in a human presence, as God's Son. 12/25/23: The final episode brings it all together in Jesus' genealogy from Adam to The Christ – proving that Advent and Christmas are a great deal more than what the commercialization of Christmas often implies. We end our Advent journey with “The First Born” - The Christ!

Psalm 1 calls on each of us to make a choice to live a life marked by righteousness or wickedness. It points us to the necessity to avoid wickedness and pursue righteousness by "delighting in the law of the Lord" and to "meditate on it day and night."How do you do with meditating on the law of the Lord day and night? Me, not great. Let's Be Real with ourselves and ask, What DO we meditate on? What DOES delight us? And ask God for help to see those things, set them down, and turn to Him instead.Information for the Women's Retreat can be found here.You can join me in person for the Jesus and Women Study by registering here. and get your book ASAP here...And last but not least, sing along through the Psalms with Poor Bishop Hooper at their website, https://www.everypsalm.com/

Mary's Mixtape Last summer, I had a revelation. If you had asked me before then to describe the formative music of my childhood, I would have immediately launched into hard rock, beginning with Led Zeppelin and tracing the thread through the arenas of the eighties and grunge of the nineties. But last July, a favorite artist of mine released somewhat of a throwback album, drawing on what he has called his “mom's music.” A departure from his usual blues infused riff-rock, this was more the easy listening of Steve Winwood, Phil Collins, and Toto. All of a sudden, I realized that although I had often preferred and chosen the music I heard in my dad's pickup, it was the songs aimed at my mother and her peers that formed the more frequent soundtrack of my childhood. Air Supply was what played in the doctor's office waiting room and grocery store aisles. Acts like Don Henley and Jackson Browne were the gentle score of everyday life. And I believe they were every bit as formative to my sensibilities as the stuff I chose for myself. That's why, although we are officially launching our series on the Messianic Psalms this week, I'm beginning with a New Testament text. (Happy Mothers' Day!) You see, when Mary was told she'd be the mother of God, she immediately burst out in Psalm. Lots of them, actually. Her Magnificat is like a greatest hits mixtape, just like the ones we used to make and wear out in the days of Magnavox. Her theology is richly layered and broadly sourced from the music of her people. And there is no reason whatsoever to believe that she didn't fill her house with the sounds of her soul, immersing her children in a world of poetic imagery that forever shaped the way they would see the world. The whole book of Psalms is Messiah music; what Calvin called “an anatomy of all parts of the soul,” spelled out across individual experiences and scaled to the story of Israel and the nations. And Jesus rightly saw himself as the keynote and melody of that whole collection. His mom's music was his own. I often have lunches with folks who say, “I just don't know what to do with the Psalms.” And I tell them, don't try to drink the seven seas. Just swim in them. To be immersed in the Psalms is to be awash in language for every aspect of the human condition, and thus to see the heart of Jesus. So, in addition to joining us for worship this summer as Will and I lay open the heart of Jesus in the Psalms, here are 3 things you can do to get good and saturated in them: 1. Join us in the Soul Room each weekday morning and pray the Psalms back to God. 2. Pick up and savor a book like Open and Unafraid by David Taylor or Reflections on the Psalms by C.S. Lewis 3. Find a playlist (or make your own mixtape!) of Psalms sung by gifted musicians like The Corner Room or Poor Bishop Hooper

In this “Behind the Song” episode of the TGC Podcast, Brett McCracken interviews Poor Bishop Hooper—Jesse and Leah Roberts—about their EveryPsalm project, which releases a new song each week, one for each Psalm. An already ambitious 3-year project became even more so when, only a few months after launch, the world was shaken by a global pandemic. But the sovereign timing of the project unexpectedly worked for good, creating a hymnal of hope and comfort for listeners in a world that seemed to be falling apart. In the interview, the duo addresses the origins of their project and what it takes for a married couple with young children to continually muster the creative energy to create for this ongoing work of art for the church.

It's easy to recognize the psalms as beautiful poems. But how do we understand their deeper meaning? How psalms are organized (both internally and within the book of Psalms) is just as significant to their meaning as the words themselves. In this episode, join Tim, Jon, and Carissa for a deep dive into Psalm 148, where we see Yahweh as the ideal king who restores order to all creation.

Each of us are in a storm. Eucharist, we're in a storm. And there is only one way through. Music by Church of the Beloved, closing song is a bad iphone recording of "Poor Bishop Hooper" (seriously, go check out their incredible recordings of the psalms... they are doing holy work)
Opening Song: Psalm 20 by Poor Bishop Hooper Lyrics: may god answer your distresses may the name of jacob's god send you help and give protection and remember your offerings the desires of your heart i hope he makes them all come true we will shout for victory and raise our banners for the king i know that the lord will answer and deliver his chosen one some place trust in mighty horses but the name of our holy god is our saving power is our trust but the name of god Passage: To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 1 May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! 2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion! 3 May he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah 4 May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans! 5 May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions! 6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. 8 They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright. 9 O LORD, save the king! May he answer us when we call.” (Psalm 20:1–9) Musical Reflection: Chopin's Prelude No. 6, Op. 28 in B minor Reflection Notes: The repeated motives in Chopin's Prelude No. 6 reflect the repetitive nature of the earlier song selection by Poor Bishop Hooper and similarly, the poetic cadence of Psalm 20. Repetition is a helpful tool in both music and literature to help us remember and meditate on certain themes. Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
We all need God’s word, and we need it desperately––this is why Jesse and Leah Roberts embarked on EveryPsalm. Jesse and Leah are parents, pastors, and musicians living in Kansas City, MO. They began their EveryPsalm project on January 1, 2020, after years of talking about the idea. They explain, “EveryPsalm is a three-year long musical journey consisting of simple, meditative songs based on the psalms. Starting with Psalm 1 and ending at Psalm 150.” Each song is based on a psalm, and almost all of their lyrics are taken word-for-word from the Bible. Their goal with this project is to help their listeners interact with Scripture in new ways and to make God’s Word applicable to any circumstances people might face. In this episode, Jesse and Leah talk with Dru Johnson about their project thus far (they're up to Psalm 75) and their goals for the rest of the songs to come. They discuss the songwriting process and how putting Scripture to music aids memorization and deeper engagement. You can check out their Youtube channel to listen to every song of the EveryPsalm project along with their other free music. You can also check out their website for more information and to subscribe to their weekly song release.
