PRAISE!

Nappanee Missionary Church

PRAISE!

June 16, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • Psalm 145

The psalmist David writes, “My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.” When we look at the work of God’s hands, and when we reflect on His great salvific work in our lives, how can we do anything but praise His holy name for ever and ever? The people of God are people of praise!

Overcoming Anxiety

July 28, 2024 • Pastor Dave Engbrecht • Psalm 94:19

Anxiety is a reality of life. These are uncertain times. Every season of life presents its own version of anxiety. Anxiety brings heaviness; everything seems out of control. There’s a feeling of uncertainty. Yet, Jesus presents a clear path amidst that heaviness.

Taste and See

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Tim Veenstra, Isaac Wood • Psalm 34

The psalms use beautiful word images to paint pictures of what a relationship with the Lord can be. In other places in the Bible, authors have taken the language of the psalmist and reiterated the idea of tasting the goodness of God. What an invitation! To experience, tangibly, through the senses, the goodness of God. Have you tasted and seen?

Royal Posture

July 14, 2024 • Pastor Peter Damaska • Psalm 99

They show up in fairy tales, on magazine covers, and on the big screen. We talk about them from time to time not always knowing how they connect to us or bring meaning to our lives. “They” are Kings & Queens. They are royalty—romanticized figures who seem out of touch and out of place in everyday life. But thankfully, the Psalms don’t overly romanticize the image of God as our King. Rather, we see how serious God is about affecting our world and about our response to Him. His posture toward us is an invitation to partner with Him.
