Psalm 116 finds its place in the life of the Church both on Maundy Thursday and during the Offertory in the Divine Service. Hearing the psalm first on the lips of Jesus, we hear Him pray for deliverance from death. Tune in below!⬇️ #SharperIron bit.ly/43ov4PX

Although Psalm 117 is the shortest psalm, its call to praise goes forth to the largest audience—all nations. The LORD, the God of Israel, has steadfast love not just toward one nation, but to all the earth. #SharperIron bit.ly/4f3VD4l

In Psalm 108, this Davidic king leads the people of God in rejoicing and giving thanks to the LORD for His steadfast love and faithfulness. He has shown His steadfast love and faithfulness to the King and all His people! #SharperIron bit.ly/4tM8WtQ

As David’s enemies attack him on every side all day long, he puts his trust in God. The Word of God is our praise and trust so that there is no need to fear the power of man, which cannot conquer God and His Word. We're studying Psalm 56! ⬇️ #SharperIron bit.ly/4ttgDoy

David knows that his enemies are secretly plotting against him, and so he asks God to preserve his life. These enemies set an ambush for David by their words, thinking that no one can see them. Yet, the LORD sees and springs His own ambush... #SharperIron bit.ly/4djqebg

Psalm 72 prays to the LORD concerning the king to whom He gives and through whom He brings justice and righteousness. Although our earthly kings—even David and Solomon—fall short of the ideal God gives in His Word, the Lord Jesus does not. #SharperIron bit.ly/4wKsrFZ

David feels the consequences God has brought upon him for his sin, and so he turns to God as the only Source of rescue from such consequences. Tune in as Pastor Appel takes us through Psalm 38! #SharperIron bit.ly/3QSt9jS

The love song of Psalm 45 points us toward the love that exists between the King, Jesus Christ, and His Bride, the Church. As true God and true man, Jesus is the beautiful and victorious King over His enemies. Listen here! ⬇️ #SharperIron bit.ly/4nikiUD

In Psalm 53, David repeats much of his prayer from Psalm 14 as he speaks about the folly that infects all mankind. Even the smartest of people show their foolishness when they live in the practical atheism that acts without the fear of God. #SharperIron bit.ly/4u1by7S

David praises the LORD for delivering him from death. Such praise belongs not only to David but to all Christians because God’s anger over our sins quickly turns to gracious favor for the sake of Christ. Listen as we study Psalm 30!⬇️ #SharperIron bit.ly/49i7ZBZ

David prays in joy for what the LORD has accomplished for him and through him as king. The LORD’s blessings have overflowed for David and for all Israel because of the LORD’s steadfast love. #SharperIron bit.ly/3P4M9Lt

Psalm 12 prays against the lying and flattering words that speak against the truth of God’s Word. Christians realize the battle against the Word of God and cry out honestly to the LORD to act decisively against those who set their words over His. bit.ly/422XazQ

Christians often see the prosperity of the wicked and wonder why the LORD seems hidden. The wicked are those whose faith is not founded in the LORD, and that unbelief shows itself in their evil intentions and actions toward others. #SharperIron bit.ly/4ubKRx0

Although David’s enemies seek his harm, he cries out to the LORD as his refuge. The LORD is the Righteous One who arises to judge all people. While He brings the wicked to their end, He establishes the righteous through faith in Him. #SharperIron bit.ly/4vQfbz7

Before he dies, Jacob gathers his twelve sons to him to bless them by speaking prophetically concerning the days to come for each of his sons and their descendants. #SharperIron bit.ly/4evcxbC

Sharathon is coming!

As the famine continues into the third year and beyond, even the residents of Egypt begin to run out of the food that they had stored for themselves. Through a series of stages, Joseph receives their livestock, their land, and their service... #SharperIron bit.ly/4etUySR

When Joseph learns that his father is near death, he takes his sons with him to receive a blessing from Jacob. In thanksgiving to what God has done for him, Jacob adopts Joseph’s two sons as his own. #SharperIron bit.ly/4cxaocL

The worldwide famine affects the family of Jacob in Canaan, so he sends nine of his sons to Egypt to buy grain. When they arrive, they bow before Joseph in fulfillment of Joseph’s dreams. Listen in as we study Genesis 42! #SharperIron bit.ly/4mhCgpZ

When the nine sons of Jacob return to Canaan, they present a softened account of the events in Egypt, omitting the fact that Simeon remains behind. Tune in as we continue our study of the book of Genesis! Listen here⬇️ #SharperIron bit.ly/4cyFC4v
