Today we continue our study of Psalm 119, the longest of the Psalms and one arranged in an format of twenty two stanzas, each of which uses and emphasises one of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
Discover the fascinating linguistic evolution of the name of the Messiah. From its Hebrew roots as "Yeshua" to the modern English "Jesus," this article traces how shifting sounds and changing alphabets across four languages shaped the name we know today.
This is what the church does when she reads the Passion over you. She declares it. The Word does what it says. It puts you under the torn curtain, in the company of the saints who walked out of their graves, in the place of Barabbas. This is not a report on something that happened long ago to someone else. It is a delivery—to you, this morning, in this place.

Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a 40-day season of repentance, fasting, and prayer leading up to Easter. Drawing on the Old Testament tradition of ashes as a symbol of sorrow and mortality, Christians are marked with a cross of ashes as a reminder of human sinfulness and the judgment of death, while also pointing to the hope of new life found in Jesus Christ. The ashes themselves are typically made from palms burned from the previous year's Palm Sunday. Though some might question whether the public display of ashes contradicts Jesus' warnings against showy religiosity in Matthew 6, the gesture is meant to be a humble sign of repentance and an invitation for others to reflect on their own spiritual lives — a meaningful public witness when done with sincerity.
