An Invitation to Covet

Dave Schutter
Psalms 19:1-14

Typically when we hear the word covet, we think of the envy of others and their possessions that God calls us to avoid. But Psalm 19 introduces a new way to think about coveting; it presents an invitation to covet God's Word, to cultivate a deep desire for it. From this psalm, we see that creation declares God's glory, crediting the glory to God and not itself. We also see that God speaks to us personally in His Word. His written word is truth and truth is simultaneously good because it has been spoken by God. God not only knows us personally, but He knows us in a redemptive sense, another truth presented in this psalm.

Short Sayings of Jesus

Gary DeLashmutt
Ephesians 5:18-21

During the Feast of Booths, a festival to connect God's past provision of water and future provision of the Messiah, Jesus claims to be the Messiah and that he can quench our spiritual thirst with the Holy Spirit. We can drink the "living water" of Jesus in 2 ways: 1) entrust ourselves to Jesus; 2) be continually filled by the Holy Spirit.

The Final Frontier

Scott Risley
Acts 10:15

A racial and cultural divide existed between the Jews and Gentiles. The apostle Peter had a vision from God about eating; the abolition of food laws. We see the Holy Spirit led Peter to the house of Cornelius where Peter shared the Gospel; this began the spread of the gospel to Gentiles.
