The Psalms are a collection of writings that do more than just teach us. They form us. By God’s grace, it is our hope and prayer this summer that we learn through worship, shared struggled, community, and witness how we are being formed deeper and deeper into the image of Christ.
Being an Apprentice of Jesus (Psalm 16)
Who is your master? All of us serve something or someone, or multiple somethings or someones. But Psalm 16 invites us to a deeper kind of apprenticeship than anything else in the world. Listen in as we learn what it means to live the Way of Jesus.
Dancing With God (Psalm 30)
What are the things that make you want to dance? This may be an uncomfortable question for some of us. But when we think of it as a heart reality, does that make a difference? Listen in today as we learn about what made David dance, and how it's even better for us today.
Hard Times. Hard Questions. Hard Won Hope. (Psalm 77)
Lament is one of the most used types of prayer in the Psalms. But it seems to be one of the least understood or practiced by modern people. Why is that the case? Listen in today as we learn more about the power of lament prayer and how it can help you through the hardest of times.
The Power of Asking (Psalm 34)
Why do we sometimes ask for things and other times choose not to ask? Listen in today as we learn about how prayer and specific asking can transform not just our prayers, but even our life itself.
Finding God in Depression, Part 2 (Psalm 143)
How are we to understand the reality of depression in our personal lives, and in our world today? Listen in today as we walk with David through Psalm 143, where he wrestles with the reality of spiritual darkness, and how to be put back together again.
Finding God in Depression (Psalm 142)
If you have been, currently are, or may be depressed in the future, this sermon is for you. Listen in today as Pastor Steven shares about his personal journey of depression and how the sorrows of life are not hindrances to a life of faithfulness to Jesus.
One Thing (Psalm 27)
If you had to boil life down to one thing, what would it be? There's so many options - good & bad - but only one great option. Listen in today to David's (probably surprising) answer... beauty.
Don't Fret! (Psalm 37)
Are you a "fretter"? Someone who worries about many things? If so, you're not alone. Many of us walk through life worrying and fretting. Listen in today for a special sermon on why, through faith in Jesus Christ, we can leave our frets with the One who can give us peace.
Friendship With God (Psalm 25)
Are you lonely? Do you wish you had close friendships? Do you struggle to know what to do to develop those close friendships? David in Psalm 25 expresses similar thoughts. Listen in today and learn with us how God draws near to the lonely and invites us into a model of friendship that can change our life.
Father of Fathers (Psalm 68)
If you think about your father, you know how special and valuable that relationship is. And if you are a father yourself, you know how imperfect of a father you are. So as we come to Psalm 68, it is so reassuring and comforting to read about the Father who never fails. Listen in today to hear about how God protects, cares, and guides us like no other.
Bog Life (Psalm 40)
Life can be like a bog - a slimy, difficult pit that we fall into by accident. What happens when you find yourself in these circumstances? How do you escape? Listen in today as we learn about things like patience, prayer, mercy, and so much more.
High & Low (Psalm 138)
What is the power of gratitude in your life? Who does God look upon, the high or the low? Listen in today and find God’s word for you today.
That's Beautiful (Psalm 19)
The summer is a time for the Psalms. 150 of the most beautiful poems, journal entries, reflections, songs, & prayers are found here. Today, we begin our journey with Psalm 19, which points us not just to beautiful things but the Beautiful One.
What Your Life Can Be Like (Psalm 112)
It's hard to argue with the kind of life that Psalm 112 lays out for us. A life with a great family, good circumstances, a God-like character, and more. But how do we avoid the traps of life and actually take hold of a life like that? The answer is a surprising one.
The Greatest Work (Psalm 111)
Psalm 111 is a beautiful acrostic poem that recounts the great works of God in summary form. But how does the greatness of what God does relate to what we do in our everyday lives, and particularly our places of work? Listen in today as we learn a bit about the biblical theology of work itself and God's greatest work of all.
The Psalm of Jesus (Psalm 110)
Which Psalm is quoted more in the New Testament than any other? Psalm 110. Listen in today as we try to discern why the early church quoted this Psalm of David so much and what is so important about it for us today and for all times.
The Curse & the Cross (Psalm 109)
What does Psalm 109 have to do with Jesus? Listen in today as we listen to David talking about how he is being accused wrongfully by others, and how we can resonate with that when we are under the accusations of others as well. And then hear how Jesus Christ of Nazareth handled his own accusations during his most trying moment, as he headed to the cross.
More Than Missions (Psalm 108)
If missions is one of the greatest purposes of the church, what possibly could be more than missions? Listen in to Psalm 108 today, on this being one of our "Missions Emphasis Sundays", and hear how the worship of the Living Creator God is even our deeper calling in life. More than missions, our hearts, mouths, and perspective sings to the God who has a promise that sings through the ages.
Let the Redeemed of the LORD Say So (Psalm 107)
What does the knowing the steadfast love of God actually do for you? Listen in today to a passionate sermon from Mike Lilley about the direct relevance and your great need for the love of God that's available to you free in Jesus.
