  • True Strength

    True Strength
    Jan 24 2026
    Pastor teaches his family a selection from "the Proverb of the day." In these two verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that true strength is found in reliance upon the Lord, via His Word. True strength, according to Proverbs 24:5–6, is not found in self-reliance or human effort, but in wisdom rooted in divine knowledge and dependence on God. The passage calls believers to respond to life's challenges not with self-reliance, but with renewed dependence upon God, by means of repentance, prayer, fasting, and diligent engagement with God's Word, which cultivates the Spirit-led wisdom that is genuine power. Ultimately, strength is not found in human capacity, but in reliance upon God Himself.

  • Making the Good Confession

    Making the Good Confession
    Jan 23 2026
    What does Jesus do in His trial? Matthew 26:57–75 looks forward to the morning sermon in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these ten verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that, at His trial, Jesus openly confesses Himself to be the Son of God, even as He was giving Himself to die for us. The devotional centers on the contrasting responses of Jesus and Peter during Jesus' trial, highlighting Jesus' unwavering truthfulness under pressure, in stark contrast to Peter's denials. Christ's faithfulness remains unshaken even in the face of injustice. Peter's threefold denial, culminating in bitter weeping, serves as a sobering reminder of human frailty and the danger of fearing man over God, yet it also points to the necessity of relying on Christ as our righteousness and new life. Pastor calls his family to imitate Christ's trust in God's justice, to confess Him boldly despite cost, and to look to His Spirit to transform us, so that we may endure suffering with faith and humility, knowing that Christ bore our punishment so we might be made righteous.

  • His Love of Her Love

    His Love of Her Love
    Jan 22 2026
    What does Christ think of His church on their wedding day? Song of Songs 4:8–15 prepares us for the evening sermon on the coming Lord's Day. In these eight verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Christ delights in His church's presence with Him, and in her He takes great pleasure. The devotional unfolds the profound intimacy between Christ and His church, portrayed through the Song of Songs, emphasizing that the Lord's greatest delight is His bride's love—expressed in heart, word, and deed. Central to this union is the image of the bride as a sealed garden and fountain, a private, sacred space of divine pleasure, yet one that overflows with life-giving fruit for others.
