Join pastor and podcaster Michael Baun as he uncovers the treasures of Scripture and interprets the world from a theological perspective.
Psalm 19 provides a profound, succinct defense of the sufficiency of scripture. In this episode Michael unpacks Psalm 19 to show that scripture restores the soul, makes wise the simple, rejoices the heart, enlightens the eyes, endures forever, and produces comprehensive righteousness.
With a relaxing exposition of Matthew 6:1-8, Michael discusses the right and wrong ways to practice benevolent giving. He also unpacks some dangers associated with wickedly motivated prayers. The episode finishes with a reflection on God's omnipresence and what that means for you.
