The Cry of the Sinner King – Psalm 69
Today we look at Psalm 69, a psalm that is both literal and Messianic. It is literal in that David wrote it from his own personal experience. The exact event he refers to is unknown, but it was real nonetheless. Yet the psalm is also prophetic of Jesus in several…
Praise the LORD: Why Wait? – Psalms 67+68
Have you ever told somebody the Good News only to have them say they will accept Jesus at some point later on? They just 'aren't ready' right now. Right? Well, scripture tells us that every knee will ultimately bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is LORD. Do it in…
While They Plot, We Praise – Psalms 64-66
While David's reign over Israel was quite successful, it was a troubled one. He never had peace in the 40 years he was king. Between neighboring kings and rebels within his own kingdom, David was constantly under the gun. Yet he found time to praise. He found good reason to…
What Else Do You Need? – Psalm 16
This past Wed. night we were in Acts 4. At the end of the chapter we talked about the mindset of commonality among the thousands of new believers in Jerusalem. We talked about how they all pitched in and took care of one another, freeing up the Apostles to devote…
As a Man Thinks in His Heart – Psalms 13-15
In last week's study we looked up Prov. 23:1-8. We zeroed in on the idea that "as he [a man] thinks in his heart, so is he." In other words, the thoughts we entertain drive the decisions we make. As we'll see in today's text, a person's thoughts can be…
A Matter of Perspective – Psalms 10-12
I am often asked questions about why God does what he does; or why he allows certain things to happen. Such questions are often couched in the misconception that there is something wrong with God's ways. Maybe he is unjust. Maybe he's just a cosmic killjoy. But you know what?…
Worthy of Praise & Worship – Psalms 8+9
Have you ever put on some good Christian music and just let loose in praise and worship? By its nature, good music stirs the soul. God made it that way. So when music stirs the soul to praise and worship the LORD, it's even better! There is something unique and…
Dump Out the Melting Pot – Deut. Chpt. 12
The US is known as the world's melting pot. People from all over the world have come here; they are still coming. As a result, our culture is a melting pot of languages, traditions, food, music, etc. In Deuteronomy, as Israel prepares to cross the Jordan, they must also prepare…
The Lord Reigns – Dan Stradwick
The Lord Reigns is one of our all-time favorites here at Disruptive Reality. The lyrics are taken directly from the Psalms, as most Hosanna! Music is. There is nothing here but pure praise and worship of the Almighty God we serve. This is a great opening number thanks to its…
Cultural Relevance in Christianity Is a Trap – Here’s Why
Every time we present a Bible study here at Disruptive Reality, we seek to come away with a relevant lesson. In other words, how can we apply what the Bible is talking about to daily life? What we don't do here at DR his attempt to inject cultural relevance into…
