We work hard and intentionally for the gospel. But have you also been resting just as hard? How work and rest together reflect—and prepare us for—the eternal rest we anticipate in the life to come.

Coming Home to Our Final Rest
We rest, not just because we are human and need it. Not to keep a commandment. Not even to help us keep going. We rest so we remind ourselves of something far greater: the spiritual reality of our eternal rest.
Work and Rest in Rhythm
Work and rest are not polar opposites. Rather, they form a rhythmic pattern. As we engage fully in each at alternate times, we can experience the joy God intends for us in both.

Book Review: Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament series by Nancy Guthrie
Throughout this blog, I talk about living in light of God's overarching Story. This series has been instrumental to my understanding of the unity of Scripture around the Gospel and is highly recommended if you're looking for something deeper.
Summary Post: Summer in the Psalms
All the psalms we have studied this summer in one place.
Praise to the King! (Psalm 148)
After our journey through the psalms, what else can we do but praise Him?
Search Me, O God! (Psalm 139)
Though I was familiar with parts of Psalm 139, I had not really studied it as a whole. What it was saying was far greater than I imagined.
Constantly Kept by God (Psalm 121)
One of the most amazing and comforting things as we journey through life is that we are kept by God. He is by our side constantly. Let Psalm 121 be your comfort and confidence as you walk out your days.
The Prayers of an Exile (Psalm 90)
Sometimes we forget that we are exiles that don't belong here, pilgrims on a journey to our future home. Psalm 90 shows us six prayers to pray, based on God's eternal character.
When Suffering Turns to Sin (Psalm 73)
When we suffer, it is easy to blame others for our problems. But let's take a cue from Asaph, who honestly faced his own sinful response before God--and found a way out.
All Hail the King! (Psalm 72)
As a child of God, we are children of the King. What is this King like and how does knowing Him change how we pray and live?
Praying Through the Hard Times (Psalms 42-43)
The psalms guides us in how to pray when we feel like we’re in over our heads with despair, suffering, or injustice.
The LORD is MY Shepherd (Psalm 23)
Knowing the Lord as our Shepherd can make all the difference. Is He YOUR shepherd?
Praising the God Who Communicates (Psalm 19)
After a lament psalm, let’s spend some time praising the Lord!
A Primer on Prayer (Psalm 5)
Not only are the psalms prayers, they teach us how to pray. Listen on lessons from David as we explore this psalm of lament.
Only One King: Humility as the Way to Blessedness (Psalm 2)
A second key to the blessed life is knowing who rules your life. There can only be one King—and we’re not it.
Only One Way: An Introduction to the Psalms (Psalm 1)
All of us desire a blessed life—and God desires to give it. Psalm 1 shows us the only way to that life of blessing.
Summer in the Psalms: A New Series
Introducing a new series for this summer—an opportunity to study the psalms, let them guide us in prayer and in conversation.
The Curriculum of Love
While the Bible does not define a specific course of training for women discipling women, it does trace some broad strokes on what we are to teach and pass on to each other. This post looks at the foundational teaching we need to wrestle with ourselves, even as we help others grow.
