Key Verse: Psalm 119:160 - The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.
In this episode, Micah Herbster walks through Psalm 119:109–112, the fourteenth stanza of this great psalm, reminding listeners that the Christian life is not a passing moment but a lifelong path. Building on the theme of God's Word as a light for the way, Micah focuses on two powerful words that shape our spiritual resolve: never and forever. From the sobering reality that “my soul is continually in my hand” to the firm declaration “yet do I not forget Thy law,” this passage calls believers to steadfast remembrance and unwavering obedience—even in danger, opposition, and uncertainty. With illustrations drawn from the “Never Forget” refrain following September 11, this challenge presses the urgency of staying on the path of Scripture.The second half of the passage lifts our eyes to lasting devotion: “Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever… I have inclined mine heart to perform Thy statutes alway, even unto the end.” God's Word is not merely instruction—it is inheritance, delight, and heart-joy. When the Word truly rejoices the heart, it inclines the will toward obedience. This episode challenges listeners to examine whether Scripture is genuinely their delight, to resist drifting under pressure or pain, and to determine—by God's grace—to obey Him to the very end. The episode closes with a prayerful response, learning not only to study the Psalm, but to pray it.

When Satan casts a fiery dart atus, the sword can be used defensively to deflect that dart with God's HolyWord. But it is also offensive—it can strike the enemy. Think about this: whenyou use the Word of God, you can defend yourself against temptation. But youcan also attack Satan's kingdom by preaching the Gospel, witnessing to thelost, and teaching the truth. My friend, every time a person is saved through theWord of God, the sword of the Spirit has cut through into the kingdom ofdarkness. I'llnever forget hearing a story years ago about an atheist who was being witnessedto by a believer. The believer kept trying to talk with him about the Lord.Finally, the atheist said, “Get out of here. Leave me alone. I don't want tohear any more Scripture. I don't want to hear any more of the Word. Just leaveme alone. Get out.” The Christian replied, “I just want to leave you with onethought: Luke 13:3 says, ‘Unless you repent you will all likewise perish.'” Theatheist said, “I told you I don't want to hear it. I don't believe in God orthe Bible! Get out of here!” The Christian said, “Just one more time—Luke 13:3:‘Unless you repent you will all likewise perish.'” As the Christian waswalking away, the atheist shouted again, “Get away from me!” And the believerresponded one last time, “Unless you repent, you will perish.” The nextday, as the story goes, the atheist called that believer and said, “Would youplease come talk to me about getting saved? All night long all I kept hearingwas, ‘Unless you repent, you will perish.' I don't want to perish.” Andhe gave his heart to Christ. People may brush aside your testimony, but the Word of God is “alive andpowerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword” (Hebrews 4:12). Weneed to always remember that the Word of God is the best weapon—the greatestweapon—for every need we have! I love what Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:3. Hereminds us, “Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to theflesh.” And in verse 4 he continues, “For the weapons of our warfare arenot carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting downarguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” TheWord of God helps us in every season of life. Do you feel downhearted? Have you beendiscouraged or even depressed? I'll never forget a lady calling just before Iwas about to preach on a Sunday night—back in the old days when all we had werelandlines in the church. There were no cell phones. She said, “I'm verydiscouraged. I need to talk to the pastor.” I picked up the phone briefly andsaid hello. She said, “I'm discouraged. I think I'm suicidal. I need help.” Isaid, “Ma'am, I want you to do something. Start reading the book of Psalmsright now. Just read the Psalms. As soon as this service is over, I'll call youback.” I'll never forget it. After the service, I called her back. She said,“I've been reading the Psalms, and guess what? I already feel so different.Thank you so much for helping me.” I didn't do anything. It was the Word of Godthat encouraged her. AWord for the downhearted and discouraged: Jeremiah 15:16 says, “Your Wordswere found, and I ate them, and Your Word was to me the joy and rejoicing of myheart; for I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts.” Psalm 119:105says, “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm119:9 asks, “How can a young man cleanse his way?” And it answers, “Bytaking heed according to Your Word.” Do you feel empty? Do you feel weak? Matthew4:4 reminds us, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word thatproceeds from the mouth of God.” Whenyou have that intake of God's Word, you will discover it is not merelyinformation. It is nourishment. It is light. It is strength. It is direction. Itwill help you face every problem, every difficulty, every challenge of everyday—no matter how it comes.
We read words like wicked, insolent, evil, and sometimes glance over them—these are the “bad guys" of Psalm 119. Who are they, and how do we not end up like them?

Key Verse: Psalm 119:151 - But you are near, O LORD, and all your commandments are true.

Understanding who you are, will take you through the trials of life.
In this episode of Walk Talks, Micah and Malachi Herbster open Psalm 119:105–108 to explore what it truly means to walk in the light of God's Word.“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Before the light can be appreciated, the darkness must be acknowledged. They reflect on the reality of living in a fallen, sin-cursed world where the world, the flesh, and the devil constantly speak lies. Without the Word of God, there is no true direction. But God, in His mercy, has given believers everything needed for life and godliness through His truth.The conversation emphasizes the believer's desperate dependence on Scripture—not merely as information, but as divine authority. Owning a Bible or knowing its contents is not enough. The Word must be engaged daily, submitted to fully, hidden in the heart, and obeyed. Walking implies consistency—step by step, decision by decision—marked by intentional, biblically conscious living.Psalm 119:106 introduces the theme of covenant commitment. The psalmist vows to keep God's righteous judgments, prompting reflection on why God so faithfully keeps His covenants while His people so often struggle to keep theirs. Micah and Malachi discuss the importance of renewing holy resolutions and cultivating spiritual resolve in a wavering world.Verse 107 reminds listeners that faithfulness does not exempt believers from affliction. The psalmist remains under trial, yet he does not turn to self-pity, frustration, or anger. Instead, he turns to the Word—the source of revival, restoration, and strength. Suffering is framed as a refining fire that prepares believers for deeper service to the King.Finally, Psalm 119:108 reveals a heart that responds rightly—with prayer, praise, confession, and a sincere desire to grow in obedience. A life shaped by the Word is marked by humility, worship, and perseverance.This episode serves as a call back to the lamp, back to the path, and back to the Word within—urging believers not only to know the Word, but to walk in it, live by it, and obey it.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThanks for joining us for our weekly Bible reading discussion. Today we will reflect on how Jesus masterfully exercises the authority of God to evil men. In Mark 11 & 12 Jesus shows how he handles being tested and gives incredible responses to questions that are meant to trap and accuse him. He rebukes the corruption of the temple by the leaders, answers questions about the law given by Moses, and teaches of faith that can do the unthinkable. Through all of these interactions Jesus acts out of reverence for his Father and love toward those who reject him.
They say we have an attention span shorter than a goldfish's. What are we focusing on, or are we focusing at all? Today, Amy looks at Psalm 119:6 and 15 about what it means to fix our eyes.

Key Verse: Psalm 119:142 - Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true.
In this episode, Micah Herbster continues the journey through Psalm 119 with verses 101–104, part of the thirteenth stanza—a section centered on pondering and practicing God's Word with both discipline and delight.After reading the passage, Micah walks verse by verse through the Psalmist's testimony, highlighting the clear purpose statements woven throughout the text. Each action is tied to a reason—revealing how obedience to God's Word is never accidental, but intentional.Listeners will explore four defining responses to Scripture:Restrain — learning to hold back from evil in order to obey God's Word, recognizing that true holiness involves a growing hatred for sin.Remain — staying on the path because the Lord Himself is our Instructor, illustrated through the vivid picture of a climber trusting a Sherpa to guide them safely up Mount Everest.Rejoice — discovering the personal sweetness of God's Word, more delightful than honey, savored through meditation and spoken with joy.Repulse — gaining understanding from Scripture that produces discernment and a settled rejection of falsehood and evil.Drawing from rich cross-references and timeless voices like Spurgeon, Matthew Henry, and Thomas Brooks, this episode emphasizes that God's Word does more than inform—it shapes our affections, directs our steps, and trains us to love what God loves and hate what He hates.The episode closes with a prayerful response, “praying the Psalm,” inviting listeners not just to study the Word, but to live it.A thoughtful and practical meditation for anyone seeking to walk wisely, love Scripture deeply, and follow the Lord with understanding and conviction.
When life is hard on my hear; Your word gives life to my heart.
Imagine standing at the threshold of the longest chapter in the Bible—Psalm 119—a magnificent acrostic poem that walks through every letter of the Hebrew alphabet, each section a love letter to God's Word. This message invites us into a transformative journey of discovering Scripture not as a daunting obligation, but as a source of increasing joy and life. We're reminded that God has already written His law on our hearts, that the beginning of wisdom starts when we simply engage with His truth. Like learning a new skill—whether it's longboarding down a mountain road or mastering a craft—our relationship with Scripture requires us to start somewhere, even when we're scared or uncertain. The beauty is that God meets us in that starting place. As we move from curiosity to experience, from reading to living, God's Word becomes sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating our thoughts and attitudes. This isn't about quick fixes or New Year's resolutions that fade by February; it's about building an active, resilient faith that finds refuge in God's promises even when storms rage around us. The ultimate invitation here is to see Scripture as sitting with a beloved companion—someone who knows everything about us and still loves us deeply, who develops us not for worldly pleasure but for eternal kingdom purpose. If you want help in starting this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out! If you want to talk to someone about going deeper in your faith or starting to walk with Jesus on a daily basis, please reach out to us at office@graceva.com

In this episode of Word Within, Michael McIntyre joins us for a verse-by-verse walk through the 13th stanza of Psalm 119 (verses 97–100)—a section that celebrates the deep, shaping power of God's Word.Together, we explore how love for the Word fuels meditation (v.97), why obedience makes us wiser than our enemies(v.98), and how a life saturated in Scripture can grant understanding beyond teachers and even the ancients (vv.99–100). Along the way, we're reminded that true wisdom is not self-made but God-given—“Thou hast made…”—and that, as Thomas Manton observed, “Those that meditate most, thrive most.”This conversation presses us to ask: What does it really mean to delight in God's law, and how does sustained meditation reshape the way we think, live, and discern? A rich and practical discussion for anyone longing to grow in biblical wisdom from the inside out.

Series: Purity of HeartService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallIn this episode we will consider the importance of seeing the spiritual significance of our behaviors and mindset, how Jesus can purify our hearts in spite of our sinful state, and how to maintain it while living in a culture that celebrates evil. Jesus shows the Pharisees how they have been blinded and corrupted by their attempt to follow traditions in Mark 7, brings his disciples back to clarity when they were distracted by physical challenges, and reveals spiritual truths through healing the sight of the blind in Mark 8.
153 Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law.154 Defend my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise.155 Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.156 Your compassion, Lord, is great; preserve my life according to your laws.157 Many are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes.158 I look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.159 See how I love your precepts; preserve my life, Lord, in accordance with your love.160 All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. from Psalm 119 Listen to more from our Hope Podcasts collection at hopepodcasts.com.au.

In this episode, we arrive at the twelfth stanza of Psalm 119—Our Firm Foundation—and reflect on the unshakable, settled nature of God and His Word. Beginning with a reading of Psalm 119:89–96, Micah Herbster and Cody Bill walk verse by verse through this powerful passage, showing how the eternal stability of God's Word enables spiritual growth even in the midst of affliction.We explore how God's Word is forever settled, faithfully standing through every generation, and upholding all things by His power and for His glory (vv. 89–91). From there, the Psalmist's response unfolds—delighting in the Word, remembering it through lived obedience, seeking the Lord in dependence, heeding Scripture over self-destruction, and humbly acknowledging the limits of human perfection (vv. 92–96).This discussion highlights a vital truth: when God's Word steadies us, spiritual advancement follows. The episode closes with a prayer drawn directly from the Psalm, reminding us not only to study Scripture—but to pray it.
We all know what it's like to be under stress, to be in high-pressure situations, to feel like we're restricted, even imprisoned by our circumstances.

The Apostle John begins his Gospel with the poetic statement, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." What is this Word? Christian theology teaches us that the Word of God is several things simultaneously. First, and most foundationally, the Word is Jesus Christ. On a secondary level, as a gift given and proceeding from Christ, the Word of God comes to us in the form of the Scriptures - the Bible. As the Psalmist writes in Psalm 119, this gift is: "sweeter than honey." This week we go back to the basics of the Christian faith to examine the sweetness of the gift of the Holy Bible.
