Messy Prayers

Psalm 74

October 19, 2024 • Tim Cain • Psalm 74

Is your prayer life as messy as your real life? If not, why? What parts of your life are you holding back or shoving down or cleaning up before you bring them to God? Over and over again, we see the Psalmist showing us what it looks like to bring our real, unfiltered selves into the presence of God, even when our real selves happen to be a mess. In this sermon we will explore some of these things a little deeper.

Delight in the Lord who Delights in You

November 9, 2024 • Joshua Moffit • Psalm 37:4

Fretting and fear lie to us about our God. They say that our suffering is evidence that God is against us. In this context the command to, "Delight yourself in the Lord" seems like an impossible ask because you will never delight in God if you don't believe he is for you! Instead, you will fear and fret. But the good news of the gospel is that God is for you in Jesus Christ, and he is totally committed to your everlasting joy and peace.

Living By Faith in Evil Times

November 2, 2024 • Joshua Moffit • Psalm 37:1–11

Summary: There are evil people in this world with massive amounts of power, influence, success, and prosperity. So, how are we as Christians to respond to this fact? How are we to live in the "already / not yet" of Jesus' Kingdom? Psalm 37 helps us navigate the temptations we face because it is honest with us about the difficulty of living in this present evil age, but is committed to help us live in light of the future realities promised to us in the gospel of Jesus Christ and his coming eternal Kingdom.

The Satisfying Waters of Rest

October 26, 2024 • Wes Van Fleet • Psalm 23:1–2

More than ever, we are being discipled by a culture of hurry and distraction. However, God created a world where rest was a built-in rhythm necessary for all humans to flourish. Listen and hear how the gospel frees us from building an identity in anything other than Christ.
