    The Word Dwelling Richly in Us
    Mar 21 2026
    How does God display Himself as the only true God? Deuteronomy 31:30–32:47 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these forty-eight verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that God displays Himself as the only true God by saving sinners, with whom He persists until glory. This powerful song serves as a divine witness to the covenant relationship between God and His people, summarizing the entire book of Deuteronomy in a poetic and prophetic form. It begins by proclaiming the majesty and faithfulness of Yahweh as the eternal Rock, the source of justice, truth, and salvation, while lamenting Israel's ingratitude and idolatry as they grow fat and forget their divine Father. The song vividly portrays God's judgment on their unfaithfulness—through exile, devastation, and divine withdrawal—yet underscores that even in wrath, YHWH remains sovereignly gracious, preserving His people for future redemption. The climax affirms that YHWH alone is God, the One Who kills and makes alive, wounds and heals, and Who will ultimately avenge His people and restore them, culminating in the redemptive revelation of Christ. The call to set one's heart on God's words, to teach them to future generations, and to live by them as the very essence of life, underscores the enduring purpose of Scripture: to lead God's people to know Him as the only true and living God, the source of all life, joy, and hope.

    Of what must we always take note? Proverbs 22:22–23:11 looks forward to the midweek sermon.

The devotional centers on the enduring principle of living before God in all relationships and decisions, emphasizing divine accountability in matters of justice, wealth, and character. The call to self-control, discernment, and integrity is reinforced through vivid imagery, urging believers to prioritize God's presence above all else, whether in the presence of rulers, in personal relationships, or in the pursuit of earthly usefulness and joy.

  • God's Elect, in and for Christ

    God's Elect, in and for Christ
    Mar 16 2026
    Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 44—especially explaining how the Covenant of Grace flows out of God's love for His Son, and those whom He has loved in Him. Q44. Whom did Christ represent in the covenant of grace? His elect people. The lesson centers on Christ's role as the representative of His elect people within the covenant of grace. Drawing from Isaiah, Hebrews, and Ephesians, it underscores that Christ's 'offspring' are not biological but the redeemed community chosen by God before the foundation of the world, united to Him, Who is the last Adam.

  • YHWH Our Stronghold

    YHWH Our Stronghold
    Mar 16 2026
    How is God's glory revealed in wrath? Nahum 1:7–11 prepares us for the morning sermon in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that God's glory is revealed in the justice of His wrath, but especially in the mercy that He shows to those whom He has chosen in love. The passage presents a powerful contrast between God's role as a stronghold for those who trust in Him and His role as a consuming fire of judgment against His enemies, particularly the Assyrian empire and its leader Sennacherib. Central to the message is the truth that God's goodness—eternal and self-sufficient—is the foundation of His mercy and the reason for creation. The text emphasizes that to conspire against God's people is to conspire against God Himself, and that all who live for anything other than His glory will face utter destruction. The devotional calls both believers and unbelievers to recognize their true position before God: either as those sheltered by His grace or as those consumed by His justice.
