In this sermon, Pastor Phil looks at the psalmists’ circumstances and response as he pours out his heart to God. We are reminded that in dark times we should keep pursuing the Lord, remember his faithfulness, and hope in his promises. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Jesus, Our Great King, Priest, and Judge

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.
