All healthy relationships require time, knowledge, and love, including our relationship with the Lord. In this sermon from Psalm 63, Pastor Phil looks at David’s model of a deepening relationship with God, as he thirsts for the Lord, feasts on the Lord, and trusts in the Lord, even in a time of great distress. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Jesus, Our Great King, Priest, and Judge
September 3, 2023 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Psalm 110
Psalm 110 prophecies about the coming rule of the Messiah, and it declares that he will be King, Priest, and ultimately the Judge of all of mankind. In this sermon, Pastor Phil looks at Jesus as the fulfillment of this prophecy. He is ruling as the King of all kings, he is interceding as our great High Priest, and he will one day come again to judge the world and destroy his enemies.

An Invitation to Worship
August 27, 2023 • Pastor Phil Kooistra • Psalm 95
The book of Psalms is the songbook of the nation of Israel, and it has a great deal to teach us about worship. In this sermon from Psalm 95, Pastor Phil looks at this psalm’s invitation to worship the Lord, as well as its warning if we fail to do so. The psalmist invites us to come and worship our great God…how are we responding to that invitation? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
God Revealed
August 20, 2023 • Pastor Neal Hackbarth • Psalm 19
Psalm 19 reveals the incredible God of creation and invites believers to respond accordingly. In this sermon, Pastor Neal looks at God revealed in his heavens, where we see his power and his personal care over all creation, as well as in his Word, his special revelation that enables us to know him and his plan of salvation. Like David, may we respond with repentance, humility, and adoration of our incredible God! From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
