Psalms
Blue Christmas
November 27, 2016 • Chris Edmondson • Psalm 42, Romans 12:15, Psalm 1:3
Life isn’t easy. We experience problems and setbacks everyday. But during the hardest parts of life, when the bottom seems to fall out, where do we turn? Although God doesn’t offer any easy solutions, he does offer himself and his presence as an anchor of hope.
Don't You Forget About Me
November 20, 2016 • Dr. Carlo Serrano • Psalm 103
“Saying, ‘Please’ and ‘Sorry’ and ‘Thank You’ aren’t just good manners: They are the key to spiritual maturity. Never stop saying ‘Sorry.’ Never stop saying ‘Please.’ And never stop saying ‘Thank You.’” – Mark Batterson Do you forget to show thankfulness? Do you forget the benefits of God?
Shake It Off
November 13, 2016 • Dr. Carlo Serrano • Isaiah 46:10, Isaiah 65:24, Psalm 3, Isaiah 26:3
“Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitude toward life. The longer I live, the more convinced I become that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it.” – Chuck Swindoll Where do you turn when it seems like life itself is kicking your butt?
Happy
November 6, 2016 • Chris Edmondson • Psalm 1, Isaiah 31:4
Psalm 1 compares a righteous person to a fruitful tree and a wicked person to chaff, and the psalmist contrasts the behaviors leading to each. In our fast moving world, with lots of distractions that pull us away from the things of God and steer us into the possibility of chaff. How do we get on and keep on track in pursuing the place of righteousness of which the psalmist speaks? This message makes it clear that an individual must make a conscious decision to partake of essential nourishment from God’s Word and embrace specific disciplines that effectively awaken the soul.
