There are seasons when prayer feels less like a song and more like a cry for help. “How long, O Lord?” is the sound of a weary soul that still believes God is there, even when He feels absent. Psalm 13 teaches us that biblical faith does not deny sorrow, suppress lament, or rush too quickly to easy answers. Instead, it brings the ache directly to God. Join us for Track 1 of Summer Psalms Mixtape Vol. 5, where we will learn that lament is not the opposite of faith; it is often the language faith uses in the dark.

When Peter was invited to share a meal with a Roman officer named Cornelius, he faced a cultural barrier he had never crossed before. Through that experience, God showed him that the gospel was not limited to one group of people—the invitation to the table was for everyone. The early church realized that God’s family was much bigger than they imagined. This week, we wrap up the series by exploring how the table becomes a place of mission, where God welcomes people from every background into His family.

At a dinner hosted by a Pharisee, Jesus noticed that everyone was competing for the best seats at the table. In response, He taught that God’s kingdom operates differently — those who elevate themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be lifted up. At Jesus’ table, status and pride are replaced by humility and service. This week, we learn how the table becomes a place where our hearts are shaped to resemble Christ.
