Crowned in Majesty: Discovering Your King, Priest, and Victory

August 25, 2024 • Pastor Josh Weidmann • Psalm 110

Jesus is the REIGNING KING who brings victory in the midst of the battle, our ETERNAL PRIEST who clothes us in holiness, and the one who gives us SHARED VICTORY that we can daily live in because of the overflow of His triumph! How wonderful it is for us to know that His victory over sin and death isn’t just His - it’s ours! We don’t fight for victory; we live from it. As co-heirs with Christ, we share in the spoils of his triumphs!

God's Infinite Power in My Finite World

August 18, 2024 • Pastor Josh Weidmann • Psalm 90

When we understand our end, that this life is fleeting, we will have greater wisdom to live in the present. Our life on earth is short but eternity is promised for those who believe in Christ. What are some of the ways this wisdom can be lived out in our lives today? Perhaps this can look like increased urgency for evangelistic efforts, a changed perspective of our suffering, and an increased importance of peacemaking, knowing soon, there won’t always be a tomorrow. This way of living pushes us to please Christ and redeem every moment for His glory. Key verse: Psalm 90:12 “Teach us Lord to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.”

Seeing Life Through God's Eyes

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Josh Weidmann • Psalm 27

What if we could see things the way God sees them? As God’s people, we can hope without fear in times of great oppression, seeking God’s divine presence and guidance, knowing He will never abandon us. There is suffering in life but we must see God as the solution to that suffering, having confidence in Him and trusting Him for our deliverance.

From the Hallway of Despair to the Room of Deliverance

July 14, 2024 • Pastor Josh Weidmann • Psalm 13

In Psalm 13, we see how David appeared to be on the edge of despair. His endurance and strength was spent and at his wit’s end, he turned to God for help. By the end of his prayer, we witness David regain his perspective, trusting in God’s steadfast love.  We must remember God is always faithful and present, even when we may not feel like it. Though David may not have found immediate deliverance from his circumstances, by resting upon the loyal love of the Lord, He was able to declare: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” Psalm‬ ‭13‬:‭5‬  A few key takeaways we can learn from this prayer:  * Let your honesty with God open the door to transformation * Enter the room of God’s presence and find peace * Celebrate your salvation by remaining at home with Christ
