We’ll examine Psalm 103:6–14 layer by layer, like an Oreo, exploring the difference between God’s ways and His acts.

What are you truly in awe of? Is it the creation or the Creator? In this sermon from Psalm 103:1–5, we remember why our souls are called to bless the Lord. God is worthy of our praise not only for who He is, but for all He has done: He forgives our sin, brings healing to our souls, redeems us from the pit, crowns us with steadfast love and mercy, and satisfies us with what truly lasts. If you’ve been more focused on changing your circumstances than allowing God to change you, this message is an invitation to pause, remember His benefits, and turn your praise back to the Creator. Join us as we
Where do you turn when life feels overwhelming or uncertain? Can you find joy in God while walking through a wilderness season of anxiety, loneliness, conflict, grief, illness, or a faith that feels dry? In Psalm 63, we find David in exactly that kind of wilderness. He is on the run—hungry, thirsty, hunted, and slandered. Yet he offers no desperate requests. Instead, he is full of joy. How can that be? In this message, we’ll look at David’s words and discover how we can thrive, not just survive, in the wilderness seasons of life. Whether you’re dealing with health struggles, relationship turmo
Psalm 63 was written by King David while hiding from King Saul in the harsh desert of Judah, and it remains one of the most powerful expressions of longing for God in all of Scripture. David did not simply know about God. He knew Him personally, calling Him 'my God' and seeking Him earnestly, not casually or out of obligation. Even with cracked lips and an army outside waiting to kill him, David declared that God's love is better than life itself. That kind of faith did not come from comfortable circumstances. It came from a deep and settled knowledge of who God is. For those who have placed t
Psalm 16 is one of the most powerful and comforting passages in all of Scripture. Written by David during a time of genuine danger and uncertainty, it is a prayer overflowing with peace, joy, and an unshakable trust in God. If you have ever wondered how to find real peace in the middle of suffering, or how to experience joy that does not depend on your circumstances, Psalm 16 speaks directly to that. This teaching walks through Psalm 16 verse by verse, unpacking the rich theological truths David weaves into this short but deeply layered poem. You will discover what it means to find refuge in G

Have you ever wondered if God has forgotten you? King David — the man after God's own heart — asked God that exact question. Hiding in caves, running for his life, he cried out, "How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?" If you've ever felt like your prayers were hitting the ceiling, this one's for you. In this message from Psalm 13, guest speaker Robert McRae walks through the three movements of biblical lament — raw complaint, honest plea, and joyful affirmation — and shows how David's darkest prayer ends in praise. Along the way, we dig into the Hebrew word "hesed" (steadfast love) and
If your faith were a tree, would its roots be drinking deep or drying out? In Psalm 1:3-6, God compares His people to a tree planted by streams of water, but what does that really mean? We often think growing closer to God is about trying harder, but the Bible uses a fascinating horticultural picture of being grafted into Christ, the true Tree of Life. Learn what it means to be united with Christ, how to keep your spiritual roots drawing from the living water He provides, and how Martin Luther’s simple, timeless approach to prayer can help you build a deeper relationship with God. Discover how
Which "Good Life" Are You Chasing? What if everything our culture tells us about "the good life" is pointing us in the wrong direction? We spend our lives chasing success, comfort, relationships, experiences, and possessions, hoping they'll finally satisfy us. But Psalm 1 presents a surprising alternative: there are only two paths in life—and only one leads to lasting joy. This week we begin a brand-new series in the Psalms, the prayer book God's people have leaned on for thousands of years. And we start right where the Psalms start: Psalm 1. Psalm 1 lays out two ways to live. One looks like a
If you got paid by the hour to act like Jesus, would you be able to make a living? It's an uncomfortable question, but it gets right to the heart of Paul's challenging call in Colossians 3:17: “Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” This final message from our Get Ready With Me series challenges us to move beyond showing up on Sundays and step into a life where everything we say and do represents Jesus. At home, at work, in traffic, online, and everywhere in between. You'll discover: What it means to do everything “in the name of Jesus” Why Christia
Why does God command His people to sing? Music has a way of sticking with us. We can forget a conversation, a sermon, or a lesson—but a song can stay in our minds for decades. That’s not an accident. In this message from our Get Ready With Me series, we explore Colossians 3:16 and discover why God calls His people to be a singing people. Whether you love to sing at the top of your lungs or quietly mouth the words from the back row, you’ll see how singing Scripture shapes our hearts, strengthens our faith, teaches truth, and builds up the church. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as y
Are there places in your life that you desperately hope nobody ever sees? Most of us have them. The messy storage spaces. The hidden habits. The rooms we keep closed and hope no one notices. The problem is that we often try to renovate those areas ourselves. We play “Fixer Upper” with our lives, knocking down walls and making changes, convinced we know what we’re doing. But more often than not, we just create a bigger mess. The key to real change isn’t trying harder—it’s finally letting Jesus have full access to the messy parts. In this message from Colossians 3:16, we’ll discover what it mean

Church - What's Love Got To Do With It? What holds a church together when life gets messy, people disappoint us, and relationships get hard? In this message from Colossians 3:12-14, we explore the one thing Scripture says binds believers together in “perfect unity”: LOVE. Not feelings. Not sentiment. But the self-sacrificing, Jesus-shaped love that forgives, bears with others, fights for reconciliation, and holds the body of Christ together when everything feels fragile. If you’ve ever struggled with church hurt, difficult relationships, bitterness, conflict, or simply feeling disconnected fro

Life has a way of moving forward whether we're ready or not, often taking us from familiar victories into uncertain territories. The Israelites experienced this after defeating the Canaanite king of Arad - they celebrated their victory, but then faced the challenge of moving forward again. Despite having clear direction from God and strong leadership under Moses, the people grew impatient during their journey toward the Promised Land. This impatience led them to speak against both God and Moses, rejecting divine leadership and wanting independence from God's guidance. When we push God out of o
Is the Resurrection of Jesus actually... nonsense? If you’ve ever thought the Easter story sounds a little far-fetched, you’re not alone. Even Jesus’ closest followers, the ones who saw His miracles, initially dismissed the resurrection as “nonsense.” In today’s Easter sermon from Luke 24, we’re peeling back the pastel-colored traditions and the 6-foot bunnies to look at the raw, world-changing reality of the empty tomb. We explore why intellectual evidence and empty tombs weren't enough to convince the disciples, and why they aren’t enough for us today either. Because here's the truth nobody
Are you missing your peace? Burned out? Anxious? Just searching for something more? This message is for you! We all long for peace but often don't know what we're looking for. We're digging into Luke 19 to discover why true peace isn't the absence of conflict—it's the presence of wholeness that only Jesus can give. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a colt of peace, He reveals what really makes for peace... and why so many of us (even religious people) keep missing it. From politics and possessions to relationships and escapes, we look for peace in all the wrong places. But on that first Palm Su
The Most Hated Man in Town Had a Life-Changing Encounter With Jesus. He was short. He was rich. He was despised. And he was willing to look foolish just to catch a glimpse of Jesus. In this encouraging message from Luke 19, we meet Zacchaeus — the chief tax collector who climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus… and ended up encountering him in a way that changed everything. Unlike every other rich man we've seen in the Gospel of Luke... this one walked away transformed. It is a powerful picture of how Jesus seeks and saves the lost… even the ones everyone else has written off. If you’ve ever felt
Why Being "Blessed" Might Be a Trap! Could you have everything in this life and still lose it all in the next? In today’s world we look at the rich and famous and call them “#blessed,” while quietly assuming the struggling must be “cursed.” But in Luke 16, Jesus flips that script entirely. Jesus tells us a sobering story: What if the man with everything ends up with nothing eternally, while the forgotten beggar gains paradise? The shocking truth in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) exposes how wealth can blind us, build walls, and lead to eternal separation from God. If y
