Daily Reading: Isaiah 11:1-9 This week the invitation is to repent towards Jesus by filling our minds and hearts with truth about Him. It may seem a little strange, then, to read a passage from the Old Testament. But this is a prophecy about the coming Messianic King, so we know that it is actually

Daily Reading: Psalm 72 Let’s keep thinking about the call to repent as a call to turn towards Jesus, the King of God’s Eternal Kingdom. Psalm 72 is an ancient prayer for the king of Israel, and it highlights the thought that the earthly king’s rule should be a reflection of God’s rule. So the
