  • The Desires of the Delightful Bride

    The Desires of the Delightful Bride
    Jan 28 2026
    What does the church desire? Song of Songs 4:16 prepares us for the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In this verse of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the church desires the presence of Christ and revival by the Spirit. The devotional centers on the bride's dual longing in Song of Songs 4:16 for the active presence of the Holy Spirit and the intimate fellowship of Christ. It emphasizes that the Spirit's work—symbolized by the winds from every direction—is not merely for revival in times of decline but is a continual desire for the church to increasingly reflect Christ's likeness through the fruit of His life. The second request, for Christ's personal presence, reorients the church's motivation from human approval to divine delight, affirming that true spiritual vitality is found in communion with Christ, Who dwells in the believer through the Spirit. Ultimately, the devotional affirms that God's greatest gift is Himself—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—offering union and communion as the foundation of a life that bears Christ's fruit in His presence.

  • Learning from Covenant Curses

    Learning from Covenant Curses
    Jan 27 2026
    What does every sin deserve? Deuteronomy 28:15–29:1 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these fifty-five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that every sin deserves the wrath and curse of God. This devotional presents a sobering exposition of divine judgment upon covenantal unfaithfulness, illustrating how disobedience to God's law results in cascading curses that afflict every aspect of life—personal, familial, agricultural, and national. The central message underscores that true obedience flows not from legalistic fear but from heartfelt thankfulness, joy, and reverence for God's glorious Name, which is the foundation of a life pleasing to Him. When believers lose this posture of gratitude and adoration, they turn away from God, turning to other gods whom they obey, culminating in divine abandonment and judgment. The devotional emphasizes the justness of these curses, reflecting God's righteous response to the rejection of His covenantal grace, and they serve as a stark reminder of humanity's desperate need for Christ, Who alone fulfills the law, bears the curse, and sustains the church as its true Prophet, Priest, and King. Ultimately, the passage calls for a return to a life of joyful, thankful worship, rooted in God's sovereign mercy, and overflowing with responsive obedience and service to Him.

  • The Harm of Fools in Authority

    The Harm of Fools in Authority
    Jan 27 2026
    What is as harmful as foolish counsel? Ecclesiastes 10:16–20 prepares us for the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that foolish governance is as harmful as foolish counsel. The devotional centers on the responsibility and moral accountability of leadership, drawing from Ecclesiastes 10:16–20 to contrast wise governance—marked by disciplined feasting and diligent stewardship—with the folly of self-indulgent rulers who prioritize pleasure over purpose. The passage warns against the dangers of internal rebellion against foolish authority, even in thought, reminding believers that all authority is ultimately under God's sovereign oversight, and that disrespect—even in the heart—violates divine order. Ultimately, the message calls for humility, prayerful dependence on Christ, and a life marked by faithful stewardship and godly respect, even in the face of flawed leadership.

  • How Pride Self-Destructs

    How Pride Self-Destructs
    Jan 26 2026
    How can one live righteously? Proverbs 21:4–8 looks forward to the midweek sermon. In these five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that one must be made righteous in order to live rightly. The devotional centers on the profound danger of pride, warned against by Proverbs 21:4–8, which contrasts the haughty heart that exalts itself above God with the humble heart that submits to divine sovereignty. It warns that a proud, unrestrained spirit leads to hasty, unjust actions—such as gaining wealth through deceit—that result in spiritual poverty and self-destruction, as such pursuits are described as fleeting fantasies destined to vanish like vapor. In contrast, the diligent and humble person, whose life is rooted in dependence on God, experiences lasting fruit, not because of personal merit, but by God's grace. The passage underscores that truly righteous living comes not by self-will or self-justification, but in being made pure through Christ, Whose righteousness begins to work itself out in the believer's life. Ultimately, the choice is clear: will one's life be ruled by self or by God? The eternal consequence hinges on this functional kingship—whether one exalts oneself or surrenders to the Lord, whose justice will prevail and whose kingdom will last forever.
