St. Matthew explains the surprising ending to Jesus’ genealogy by relating the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ conception and birth. The Holy Spirit caused Jesus’ conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary, but Joseph did not know this...

Matthew traces Jesus’ genealogy from Abraham through David and the Babylonian captivity. Drawing from God’s Word in 1 Chronicles, Matthew shows the way God has ordered history to keep the line of the promised Savior going until the birth of Jesus.

The songs of ascents end with this brief psalm in which the people of God arrive at His holy house to bless His name. In their zeal, they arrive at night to stand watch with the ministers of His house and call upon His name in prayer. #SharperIron

Psalm 116 finds its place in the life of the Church both on Maundy Thursday and during the Offertory in the Divine Service. Hearing the psalm first on the lips of Jesus, we hear Him pray for deliverance from death. Tune in below!⬇️ #SharperIron

Although Psalm 117 is the shortest psalm, its call to praise goes forth to the largest audience—all nations. The LORD, the God of Israel, has steadfast love not just toward one nation, but to all the earth. #SharperIron

In Psalm 108, this Davidic king leads the people of God in rejoicing and giving thanks to the LORD for His steadfast love and faithfulness. He has shown His steadfast love and faithfulness to the King and all His people! #SharperIron

As David’s enemies attack him on every side all day long, he puts his trust in God. The Word of God is our praise and trust so that there is no need to fear the power of man, which cannot conquer God and His Word. We're studying Psalm 56! ⬇️ #SharperIron

David knows that his enemies are secretly plotting against him, and so he asks God to preserve his life. These enemies set an ambush for David by their words, thinking that no one can see them. Yet, the LORD sees and springs His own ambush... #SharperIron

Psalm 72 prays to the LORD concerning the king to whom He gives and through whom He brings justice and righteousness. Although our earthly kings—even David and Solomon—fall short of the ideal God gives in His Word, the Lord Jesus does not. #SharperIron

David feels the consequences God has brought upon him for his sin, and so he turns to God as the only Source of rescue from such consequences. Tune in as Pastor Appel takes us through Psalm 38! #SharperIron

The love song of Psalm 45 points us toward the love that exists between the King, Jesus Christ, and His Bride, the Church. As true God and true man, Jesus is the beautiful and victorious King over His enemies. Listen here! ⬇️ #SharperIron

In Psalm 53, David repeats much of his prayer from Psalm 14 as he speaks about the folly that infects all mankind. Even the smartest of people show their foolishness when they live in the practical atheism that acts without the fear of God. #SharperIron

David praises the LORD for delivering him from death. Such praise belongs not only to David but to all Christians because God’s anger over our sins quickly turns to gracious favor for the sake of Christ. Listen as we study Psalm 30!⬇️ #SharperIron

David prays in joy for what the LORD has accomplished for him and through him as king. The LORD’s blessings have overflowed for David and for all Israel because of the LORD’s steadfast love. #SharperIron

Psalm 12 prays against the lying and flattering words that speak against the truth of God’s Word. Christians realize the battle against the Word of God and cry out honestly to the LORD to act decisively against those who set their words over His. https://t.co/mr7XQujug2

[KFUO Radio @KFUOradio]

Christians often see the prosperity of the wicked and wonder why the LORD seems hidden. The wicked are those whose faith is not founded in the LORD, and that unbelief shows itself in their evil intentions and actions toward others. #SharperIron

Although David’s enemies seek his harm, he cries out to the LORD as his refuge. The LORD is the Righteous One who arises to judge all people. While He brings the wicked to their end, He establishes the righteous through faith in Him. #SharperIron
