Psalm 72 prophetically points to Jesus as the coming righteous King who will establish an eternal kingdom of justice, defending the poor and needy, crushing oppressors, and bringing flourishing and blessing to all who place their faith in Him.
In Psalm 110 we find that We are not the builders, watchmen, or givers of life — God is. All our labor and striving for security is in vain apart from Him, but when we trust in God and offer our efforts to Him in prayer, He provides protection, rest, and every good gift — including children — as expressions of His sovereign care and love.
Psalm 110 reveals that the promised Messiah is both a divine King and an eternal Priest in the order of Melchizedek—uniting two roles Israel had always kept separate—and this union is fulfilled only in Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man. Because Christ reigns as our victorious King and intercedes forever as our perfect Priest, believers can live with confident joy and courage, secure that their ultimate acceptance before God and future victory over evil are guaranteed in Him.
In Psalm 90, Moses describes God’s power and eternal nature. In Christ, we have the ability to be reconciled and saved from His wrath.
We long to spend time with those we love - do we place the same significance on seeking God’s presence?
True freedom is found in Christ as we have been liberated from the power of sin, being born again by the Spirit.
Christians are ultimately citizens of a better, heavenly country promised by God, not any earthly nation—so while we love and serve where we live, our deepest hope and allegiance belong to Christ's coming kingdom.
God continues to work in the midst of Paul’s imprisonment and hardship, revealing the power of Christ though his ministry to the people of Malta and the favor and welcome he receives in Rome. We can expect this same God-given victory in our own hardship.

Paul’s journey to Rome lands in turbulent seas, which lead the crew of his ship to toss all equipment and goods overboard. They trusted his word that life would be preserved; will we hold fast, trusting God at his word?
Under trial, Paul accounts for his life and message, revealing the Gospel can stand before any authority.
Paul’s imprisonment and trial before Felix reveals the injustice of his adversaries, the true justice which God brings, and God’s continued work and purpose even while we wait.
Paul rebukes the high priest after being struck and declares he is on trial for the hope of the resurrection, prompting a dispute that forces the Roman commander to remove him. The Lord encourages Paul and promises he will testify in Rome. A plot to assassinate Paul is uncovered, leading Claudius Lysias to escort Paul by night with a large guard to Governor Felix, who finds no charge deserving death.

In Acts 19:22-41, the Ephesians are concerned by the threat that Paul’s message is to their local god Artemis. We must make the same choice today between the gods of this world and the one true God.
