DEVOTION:
First Baptist is preparing to welcome children in our community from age 4 through the 6th grade to join us for Vacation Bible School. We will assemble with the kids each day Mon-Fri, June 15-20 from 9:0am-12:00noon. Anyone is welcome to attend. There is no cost. One does not have to be a member of our church to participate.

This year the theme is “Illumination Station” based upon the declaration that Jesus made in John 8:12, where He boldly said, “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” The focus will be on Jesus each day of VBS. In addition to bible study, children will learn cool songs, play fun games, make crafts with their own hands and enjoy delicious snacks.

When I read Psalm 110 recently, it made me think of how clearly the biblical spotlight shines upon Jesus, even in the Old Testament, just like our VBS will highlight Him daily. What is really unique about Psalm 110 is that it features a conversation between the Father and the Son much like we find in the High Priestly Prayer of John 17. Only, this type of psalm is called a royal psalm since it exalts the fulfillment of Christ’s future coronation as King of Kings.

Shines upon Victory over the Enemies, 110:1-2

Shines upon the Volunteers for His Exaltation, 110:3

Shines upon the Virtue that Will be Esteemed, 110:3

Shines upon the Vitality from His Empowerment, 110:3

Shines upon the Vision into the Eternal, 110:4

Shines upon the Visitation to the Earth, 110:5

Shines upon the Vindication upon Evil, 110:6

Shines upon the Voice of Encouragement, 110:7

DEVOTION:
Memorial Day is often a popular long weekend for BBQs, family-get-togethers, discount shopping sprees, camping or fishing trips and outings at the beach or the lake. These are all fine, of course, but the primary observance of the day is intended to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our national freedoms.

2 Samuel 1:17-27 was a song of lament and remembrance for those who fell in battle against the Philistines on Mt. Gilboa. David wrote this poem as a way of expressing his personal grief over the loss of his best friend, Jonathan, his king, King Saul, as well as the loss of many other soldiers of Israel.

The New King James version follows the Septuagint in giving this poem the title, “The Song of the Bow.” Jonathan was skilled with the bow according to verses like 1 Samuel 20:18-22, 35-40.

The eighteenth verse in our text discloses the purpose David had in mind when he wrote this song, “…it should be taught to the people of Judah…” David was teaching the next generation how to grieve and how to honor the fallen.

Spurgeon believed a better translation of the Hebrew would actually render the title, “The Use of the Bow.” If Spurgeon was right, then it could have been on David’s heart to teach youth how to fight.

They Fought for Their Families, 1:1, 23-24

They Fought for Their Faith, 1:12-16

They Fought for Their Flag, 1:12, 19, 24

They Fought for Their Future, 1:18

They Fought for Their Freedom, 1:20

They Fought against Their Foes, 1:20

They Fought for Their Friends, 1:25-26

The Growing in Grace Podcast!

As we celebrate our graduating seniors, please join Pastor Victor Morrison as he shares his new devotion entitled, "Lion Crossing" (1 Peter 5:8-11).

DEVOTION:
If one compares the Christian life to a journey, then along this discipleship roadside one might find a sign with an emblem of a lion warning, “Lion Crossing”.

Lions are native to Africa and India, so we only see them in enclosed areas such as zoos here in the United States. Most likely, we do not have to worry about seeing a lion cross our path.

According to World Population Review, Tanzania in eastern Africa has the highest number of wild lions worldwide with approximately 14,500 lions. CGTN (China Global Television Network) stated on April 21, 2026 that now Tanzania’s lion population has reached about 17,000. The lion population of India also has a growing population of these big cats, having increased from 523 in 2015 to 674 by 2020.

Peter warns globally dispersed followers of Christ through his epistle in First Peter 5:8-11 of God’s adversary, the devil. The apostle compares this spiritual foe to a roaring lion who prowls around, seeking someone to devour. Along with other passages like Ephesians 6:10-20, the Lord prepares and equips His people for random encounters with spiritual warfare.

One should not dismiss biblical warnings of the dangers involved in spiritual attacks from our enemy. This passage will inform contemporary disciples how to avoid becoming prey to this roaring lion.

Watching for the Roaring Lion, 5:8

Warring with the Roaring Lion, 5:9

Winning against the Roaring Lion, 5:10-11
