Psalm 103 | The Danger of Forgetting

Psalm 103  shows how we must actively recall the steadfast love and benefits of God, and to resist the spiritual amnesia that so easily creeps into our lives. Life is full of distractions, and the gravitational pull is always toward forgetfulness, not just in our daily routines but in our spiritual walk as well.
This is not a new problem—ancient Israel was repeatedly warned to remember the Lord and not to forget His works. The antidote to this forgetfulness is intentional self-talk, as modeled by David in Psalm 103: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” This is not just a poetic exercise, but a spiritual discipline that rewires our hearts and minds toward gratitude and praise.
SERMON BIG IDEA:
 We bless the Lord through recalling his steadfast love, which leads to praise.
 

Wisdom's Influence | Proverbs 1:8-33

How do you navigate through life? Whether you know it or not, everyone is depending on some method or approach. The way of Proverbs is learning to walk in wisdom. This series explores these ancient sayings to find relevance for our modern lives. Ultimately, we discover how they point to Jesus, who is the “wisdom of God” (1 Cor. 1:30).

Psalm 10 | The Vindicated

Have you ever thought, “Why do victimizers so often seem to get off the hook? Or wondered, “Why does evil seem to triumph?” Psalm 10 is for any victim who’s been violated and wronged, with no justice in sight. Where do we cope? We find inner strength as we surrender our pain to the God of justice.
SERMON BIG IDEA:
When we become a victim of an injustice, this can lead us to take genuine refuge in the God of justice.

Psalm 1 | The Two Paths

This series will focus on the deep relevance and necessity of the Psalms for our spiritual lives. The Psalms are not just ancient poetry, but a mirror reflecting the full spectrum of human emotion—joy, sorrow, anger, hope, and everything in between, as the great Reformer John Calvin famously said. They give voice to our experiences, offering language for both our praise and our pain. In a world that often feels confusing and hopeless, the Psalms ground us in God’s truth, inviting us to process our emotions honestly before Him.
BIG IDEA: Through the cross, we who’ve traveled on the way of wickedness can finally cross over by grace onto the path of righteousness.
1ST Application: By grace, Jesus extends forgiveness so we can keep walking on his path of righteousness.
2nd Application: By grace, Jesus invites us to tap into his nourishing root system to stay on his path of righteousness.
3rd Application: By grace, Jesus promises eternal security to those found on his path of righteousness.
