Dealing with Anxiety and Fear

Psalm 56

July 23, 2022 • Tim Cain • Psalm 56

Have you ever felt yourself surrounded by what if’s. Your mind races, your body tenses as your thoughts take you down a spiral of worst-case scenarios. In Psalm 56 we find that we are not alone. David, the great warrior who once defeated the giant Goliath finds himself alone and afraid. In Psalm 56, David tells us how he responded to the fear and anxiety that he felt rising up within. In his response we can find hope for our own fears and freedom from the crippling grip of our own anxieties.

Bringing the Real you to the Real God

September 9, 2023 • Tim Cain • Psalm 22

 What do we do with the pieces of our life that don’t seem to fit together with what we believe about God? What do we do when something we feel deeply seems to contradict what we have been taught about God? What do we do with our “Why’s”? In Psalm 22 we see David wrestling between the way that he feels and the things that he believes about God. In this passage he will guide us on what to do with our unanswered questions.

Hope through Confession

September 3, 2022 • Tim Cain • Psalm 106

Where do you seek hope in the midst of suffering? Often when things get difficult we seek hope in convincing ourselves that it isn’t our fault. We defend or justify or compare our involvement to others believing that the path to hope lies in our innocence. But Psalm 106 comes to show us another way. In Psalm 106 we find that as crazy as it might sound, the path to hope actually lies through confession. If you are wondering how that is possible this sermon will seek to answer that question.

The LORD is God, and He is Good!

August 27, 2022 • Tim Cain • Psalm 100

How can the Psalmist call us to serve the LORD with gladness? In verse 3 the Psalmist explains that the reason he calls us to serve the LORD is because he is the God who made us. But how can he ask us to serve him with gladness? In verse 5 the Psalmist argues that the reason we can serve the LORD with gladness is because he isn’t just God, he is also good. In this sermon we will see how God’s greatness and his goodness combine to make praising him both the natural and the most enjoyable response we could have to encountering his glory.
