Psalm 105 takes us on a sweeping journey through Israel’s history—packed with plagues, promises, and providence. In this episode, we slow down just enough to reflect on the God who orchestrates all of it. From the highs to the lows, He is always at work, always faithful to His covenant, and always worthy of praise.

Big Idea: To praise (that is, delight in who God is and what He does) our covenant-keeping God who is sovereign over both the difficulties and delights of our lives.

Opening Questions:

1. Which school subject would you cut, and why?
2. Which one would you add, and why?
3. Which one would you be sure to keep, and why?

Whatever your answers, Psalm 105 reminds us that history—yours, mine, and all of ours—is not random. It's authored. It's purposeful. And the Author is good.

Psalm 18 is a powerhouse of praise—a poetic explosion of gratitude to the God who rescues, shields, and strengthens His people. In this episode, we walk (and speed-read!) through this 50-verse celebration of divine deliverance. David’s personal song of salvation becomes our spiritual anthem, reminding us to rejoice and rest in the God who delivers—not because of our goodness, but because of His covenant faithfulness, fulfilled in Jesus.

Opening Questions:

1. Serious: When’s a time someone rescued you—or you rescued someone?
2. Fun: Who’s your dream team to read the entire Bible out loud? (Wrong answers welcome. Think James Earl Jones meets Morgan Freeman... or maybe Gilbert Gottfried.)

Big Idea: We worship a God who delivers—and in Jesus, His rescue reaches us fully and finally. Let’s learn to rejoice in that rescue, and rest in the Rescuer.

Psalm 132 invites us into deep reflection on God’s desire to dwell with His people. Rooted in the memory of David’s longing to build a house for the Lord, the psalm looks back on covenant faithfulness, celebrates God’s presence in the present community, and anticipates the ultimate fulfillment of that promise in Jesus. In this episode, we explore what it means to rejoice in God’s dwelling among us—past, present, and future—and how His presence transforms even the places we least want to go.

Opening Reflection:

Where is a place you loved going—and a place you didn’t? What made the difference? In Psalm 132, we find that who is there often matters more than where it is.
