    Praying the Bible | Session 2

    This is a series based on the book Praying the Bible published by Crossway Press and authored by Donald S. Whitney. Today's session focuses on the difference between interpreting Scripture and praying Scripture, how to pray the imprecatory psalms (if at all), and the way a set apart prayer time shapes and informs the prayers we offer "on the go." The exercise suggested at the end of the episode is: Choose from Psalms 14; 44; 74; 104; 134 Read through the psalm. Pray about "the same old things" (family, future, finances, church, work, Christian concerns, etc.) either line by line or by focusing on a particular verse or phrase. Document the experience. What did you pray about? what difference did you notice between praying like this and previous prayer times?

  2. A Different Kind of Omnipotence | Isaiah 40:10-11

    A Different Kind of Omnipotence | Isaiah 40:10-11

    In this reflection, based on Isaiah 40:10-11, Andrew addresses the notion that for God to be all good He cannot be all-powerful ("omnipotent"), pointing to the Incarnation of Christ as God's climactic display of power and benevolence.  This episode is also available as a blog post: https://awb1216.wordpress.com/2022/09/14/a-different-kind-of-omnipotence-isaiah-4010-11/

Document the experience. What differences did you notice between praying this way and previous prayer times? Were you more engaged? Did it seem more conversational?

    God’s Attention to Detail | Isaiah 35:1-4

    In this reflection, based on Isaiah 35:1-4, Andrew considers how the Incarnation of Christ signals God's entry into the details of our lives so that He can create new life from within!

  5. Answering the Summons | Isaiah 14:24-25; Matthew 11:28-30

    Answering the Summons | Isaiah 14:24-25; Matthew 11:28-30

    How does God's promise to ease Israel's burden and lighten their yoke find fulfillment in Christ? How is that offer available to us as well? In this reflection, "Answering the Summons," Andrew considers the way Christ offers release and rest from burdens, physical or otherwise, to those who answer His gracious summons, "Come to Me."

  6. Casting Our “Gifts” in the Garbage | Isaiah 1:10-18

    Casting Our “Gifts” in the Garbage | Isaiah 1:10-18

    What is God's reaction to the "gifts" we offer at the expense of intimacy with Him? How is the hatred God expresses in Isaiah 1 a product of God's love?  In this reflection, "Casting Our 'Gifts' in the Garbage," Andrew likens God to a person who longs for their spouse to stop doing so much for them and instead be more intimate with them. He observes how, in Isaiah 1, God does do the unusual in expressing His hatred of the worship He had given Israel to practice, but that is only because God does not want our gifts. God wants us.

  7. Putting Down One by Lifting Up Another | Psalm 75:7; John 12:30-21

    14.07.2022

    Putting Down One by Lifting Up Another | Psalm 75:7; John 12:30-21

    Is the judgment of Christ to be feared? Only by those who harshly accuse others. In this reflection, Andrew builds upon a previous sermon preached on John 7:53-8:11, describing how God, in the "lifting up" of Jesus Christ, pronounces not just life for those who are drawn to Jesus, but condemnation against the deceitful voices that keep us from Him.

  8. The Pity of Christ | Psalm 72:13

    06.07.2022

    The Pity of Christ | Psalm 72:13

    What does it mean to be pitied by Christ? How is Jesus' pity the driving force behind the love He shows for us? In this reflection, "The Pity of Christ," Andrew considers how God, in Christ, responds to our need in pity, and how, when appreciated for what it is (and not how our culture perceives it), the pity of Christ is a liberating phenomenon.
