Down, But Not Out

Psalm 42 - 43

August 20, 2023 • Pastor Jeff Cramer • Psalm 42, Psalm 43

(Ps. 77:2(a) NKJV

        “In the day of trouble I sought the Lord”

 

I wish this was easy to do, but the fact of the matter is it’s HARD, and always requires a step of faith beyond our feelings! Some struggles slowly drain the life out of us. We see it… we feel it… and we hope it passes quickly, but things linger! The Psalmist in this difficult condition found that the essentials of life could NOT satisfy the angst of his soul. Have you ever felt that way? Like you've been crying out to God for so long and yet nothing is changing in your situation? In Psalm 42 & 43 we meet a guy who talks about this condition in his life and what he did to trust God in-spite of the trouble and pain. He was "Down, but not out!"

The Power of God's Help

June 2, 2024 • Pastor Jeff Cramer • Psalm 46

Psalm 46 has been a go-to Psalm for me because God has used it over-and-over in my life! Specifically v.10. There’s some questions about who wrote this Psalm. Some say it came from David & his battles in 2 Samuel. Others attach the setting to King Hezekiah and God’s intervention against Sennacherib. No matter who wrote it, we have a special Psalm of help that God has preserved for us in His word.

Thru His Death Comes Life For Me

March 29, 2024 • Pastor Jeff Cramer

On Good Friday we look back to a specific time frame in Jesus’ life on earth. We recall what took place between 12:00 noon & 3:00 pm when total darkness cover the earth! My daily security lies in the work Jesus did on the cross. So, today I want to remind you about the Implications of the Cross and the church celebrates Good Friday by recalling these powerful truths.

Being R.A.D.

February 25, 2024

Over the years of pastoring, I’ve learned that fellowships change as God rotates His flock. Some people follow God & others don’t! Either way, God is the one who makes the adjustments as He sees fit. Here’s what it looks like practically, every year we provide & encourage a Bible reading program at the start of 2024 we provided a 2-year plan which is incorporated into the church app. So far, we’ve read thru Genesis & Exodus, and God is leading us supernaturally in a very natural way.
