For Zion’s Sake

PSALM 22 Part 1 - Friday

Episode Description: In this episode of For Zion's Sake, hosts Shelly Volk and his son Scott continue their series on the phrase "But God." Focusing on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, they highlight how God intervenes in situations that seem completely final and beyond hope. They discuss biblical accounts—such as Jesus being raised from the dead, God providing a son to Abraham and Sarah, and God accompanying Joseph through betrayal—alongside personal stories of God transforming broken relationships. Through these examples, Shelly and Scott encourage listeners to trust that no circumstance is too difficult for God to restore and bring to life.

Key Takeaways:


The Ultimate "But God": The resurrection of Jesus demonstrates that even in death and total defeat, God has the final word.


Hope for Impossible Situations: No human circumstance, relationship, or trial is beyond God's power to intervene and transform.


Faith in Divine Possibility: Believing in God's power over death forms the foundation of saving faith and daily trust.


Personal Miracles: Reflecting on God’s past faithfulness in personal relationships strengthens faith during present difficulties.

Scripture References:


Isaiah 62:1 – "For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns."


Acts 13:26–30 – "...they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. But God raised Him from the dead."


Acts 7:9 – "And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him..."


Romans 10:9 – "...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."


Psalm 46:10 – "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"

“But God” - Thursday

Episode Description: In this episode of For Zion's Sake, hosts Shelly Volk and his son Scott continue their journey exploring the theme "But God." Shifting focus to King David and the Apostle Paul, they examine how believers can navigate deep emotional weariness, overwhelming circumstances, and human weakness. By turning to the sanctuary of God, David found renewed perspective when evil seemed to triumph. Similarly, Paul experienced divine comfort through fellow believers during intense trials. Shelly and Scott emphasize that God intentionally uses the weak and simple things of the world to demonstrate His power, calling listeners to abandon self-reliance and rest in God's strength.

Key Takeaways:


Strength Beyond Human Failure: Even when our heart and flesh fail, God remains the permanent strength of our heart and our portion forever.


Perspective Through God's Presence: When confused by the apparent success of the wicked or the weight of trials, entering God's sanctuary provides divine clarity.


God Works Through Community: God often delivers comfort and encouragement during trials through fellow brothers and sisters in faith.


God Exalts the Humble: God intentionally chooses the weak and foolish things of the world so that no one can boast in human wisdom or self-reliance.

Scripture References:


Isaiah 62:1 – "For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns."


Psalm 73:25–27 – "Whom have I in heaven but You? ... My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."


2 Corinthians 7:5–6 – "For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest... But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus."


1 Corinthians 1:26–27 – "But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty."
