Have you ever experienced something that didn't seem right? Like justice had not been served? Maybe you've been working hard and been passed up for the job promotion to someone who hasn't sacrificed all that you have. It's not an uncommon feeling in life, and something we all go through at some point or another. We even have testimony in the scriptures of injustices that seem to go unpunished and atrocities that go unnoticed. Today we're going to explore this topic with a worship leader in the Old Testament. A man by the name of Asaph. He writes this song where he seems to ask the question... "Why do the wicked prosper while the righteous get the short end of the stick?"
That's Not Fair!

Finding Pleasure in the Pain
April 28, 2024 • Justan McCaslin • 2 Corinthians 12:1–10
In our culture, we tend to compare ourselves to others which only leads to envy or condemnation. This causes us to respond by shielding and covering up our weaknesses / calamities / trials / sicknesses / deformities so we look stronger & better to others around us. Don’t think God’s power isn’t evident just because there isn’t a miraculous experience. Maybe you’ve become distracted in seeking after the miraculous saving instead of the miraculous savior. Maybe you’ve began to desire someone else’s experience instead of the life God has led you in. Maybe you’ve began to think you’re doing something wrong because you’re not experiencing paradise just pain & weakness. Don’t think God’s power isn’t evident just because there isn’t a miraculous experience.
The River
April 17, 2024 • David Dekhtyaryuk • John 7:37–39
Water is a core need for human survival and the longer we go without it the more valuable the commodity is to us. Jesus is no different in our life. When we acknowledge our need for a spirit filled life much like our need for water, It grows our dependance on the source as we seek to alleviate that need.
Chariots & Horses
March 27, 2024 • David Dekhtyaryuk • Psalm 20
This is a psalm of David written around the events of 2 Samuel 10. Its like many of David’s Psalms but what is notability different is that the perspective is not from the mouth of King David, but the voice of a multitude of people praying for the king before he goes to war. It’s a Psalm to march into battle too! God is doing great things in our church; He’s transforming the lives of so many families in our city. But the emphasis in this Psalm is “Where do I go in times of trouble?” and W”here do I put my faith in?”
