August 20, 2023 • Pastor Lance Bradley • Psalm 120
Songs hold immense power. They define how we feel and represent different seasons in life, from our first high school romance to the first major breakup. Songs define and shape our journey, reminding us of our past and future.
In this message, Pastor Lance concludes our Summer In The Psalms series by looking at the Song of Ascents. These songs were sung by ancient people during their journey to worship God, defining both their journey and ours.
We are all on a spiritual journey to God, and the Song of Ascents teaches us some valuable lessons that we can apply to our spiritual life.
When Your Emotions Try To Take Over
August 13, 2023 • Pastor Lance Bradley • Psalm 139
Fear. Anxiety. Panic. Stress. Those are just a few emotions that the smallest things can trigger. And those emotions interfere with daily life and are often disproportionate to actual situations.
If not dealt with, those feelings will take away your trust in God. In this message, Pastor Lance will teach you how to battle any feelings that try and take control of your life.
Although you cannot control when your emotions are triggered, you can control what you do once they are. God has something important for you in this message.
You’ve Got To Talk To Yourself
August 6, 2023 • Pastor Lance Bradley • Psalm 107
Imagine if there was a way to experience God's presence more than you do now. What if there was a way to strengthen your prayer life? What if you could change something in your life that would help dial down the anxiety and pull you out of the darkness of depression? What if instead of focusing on what you don't have, you celebrated what you do have? That mindset could change your situation without actually changing your situation.
The good news is, you don't have to imagine this kind of change. In this message from Psalm 107, Pastor Lance shows how to achieve it.
When You’ve Lost Hope
July 30, 2023 • Pastor Lance Bradley • Psalm 42
In this sermon, Pastor Lance brought a real, raw, honest, and powerful message about his struggle to hold onto hope.
Are you having a hard time holding onto hope? Have you lost hope? What do you say to God? How do you talk to Him when you've lost hope?
What do you say to God when you want Him to show up, but He doesn't seem to be coming? What do you say to God when your spouse leaves you for another person, or you believe in faith for healing, and He doesn't heal you?
These questions are challenging and can leave you growing weary and your faith growing weak. However, there is something you can do with your suffering and pain called lament, which can bring you closer to God.
The Psalms are full of people like us crying to God about their suffering and pain. Their questions are the same as ours. God, where are You? Why don't You come? Why don't You do something about this?
In this message you will learn about a practice called lament that can help you draw closer to God during times of suffering and pain.
What To Do When You’ve Messed Up
July 23, 2023 • Pastor Lance Bradley • Psalm 32
There's one thing we all have in common. Inevitability, we're going to mess up. So how do we respond when it happens?
What do we do?
Where do we go?
Who do we turn to?
How do we face our mistakes without letting them overwhelm us?
In this message, Pastor Lance talks about what to do when we've messed up. Often our choices have unintended consequences that leave us trapped and overwhelmed with guilt. It can be difficult and seem nearly impossible to find our way back.
But there's good news. There is hope when we mess up; Psalm 32 shows us the path back.
Choose Life
July 16, 2023 • Pastor Lance Bradley • Psalm 1
We're all trying to end up somewhere, and the path we decide to take determines where that will be. Two choices lead to two different outcomes. One leads to life and blessing, the other to death and curses.
In this message, Pastor Lance takes us through Psalm 1 to answer how to live a blessed life. In other words, how to live in a way that leads to life and blessing. Everyone desires to experience blessings, and Psalm 1 provides God's formula for how.
Psalms 67
July 9, 2023 • Brian Baker • Psalm 67
Many people today misunderstand the nature and character of God. They think He's distant, far away, and not interested in people personally. That's not what the Bible teaches us, though. God wants to bless us with the gift of salvation that frees us from the guilt and shame of our sins. In this message, Brian Baker will unpack Psalm 67. We'll learn more about what God wants to give His people as we live in a relationship with Him.
