Messages on Psalms
God as Rock
We often picture God in warm, relational terms—a loving Father, a compassionate mother, a faithful friend. But throughout Scripture, another image appears again and again: God as a Rock. In this message, we explore what it means to call God our Rock—and why this ancient image still speaks powerfully into our modern lives. Drawing from the Psalms of David and Jesus’ own words, we see how God offers us safety, strength, and stability when life feels chaotic or uncertain. Whether you feel overwhelmed, under pressure,…
God as Judge
Why does thinking of God as a “judge” often make us uncomfortable? This important snapshot of God might not look like what we think it looks like. In Scripture, we find a Judge who is good—one who desires the restoration of all things, justice for the oppressed, and the final end to violence. God’s love and justice are not opposed to each other. They are intimately and integrally intertwined.
God as King
God is King. We find this “snapshot” of God all over Scripture, but do we treat God with the awe and reverence that should be bestowed upon the King of Kings? To see God as King is an invitation to submission and surrender with reverence and a healthy fear and awe of who God really is.
The Idol of Technology
Technology surrounds us. It answers our questions, makes our lives easier, entertains us, allows us to communicate across the world, and so much more. Although technology can be used for good, it can also quickly distract, depress, and control us. In this message, Pastor Brent challenges us to return technology to its proper place and lift our eyes up to the Maker of heaven and earth.
Celebration
Celebration is a spiritual discipline. We have the opportunity to celebrate God’s goodness, even in the midst of life’s difficulties. Follow along as Pastor Amy, Pastor Brent, and our worship team share what true joy looks like in this final message of our sermon series.
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
Where am I? Where is God? Why am I here? We find honest emotions, thoughts, and prayers from the authors of the Psalms. In Psalms 42 and 43, the practice of lament takes center stage. Listen as Pastor Brent explores the importance of lament and grief in our walks with Jesus.
One Way or Another
Psalm 58 brings out a lot of challenging emotions. Vengeance. Anger. Desperation. How should we approach a passage of Scripture so unlike the kind and compassionate Jesus we cling to? Pastor Brent explores how Christ-followers can deal with complex emotions like anger, ultimately inviting us to pray honestly and trust God to deal with injustice.
I Fought the Law
God reveals Himself through His Word. However, God’s Word isn’t just meant to be studied. It’s meant to be a way of life that draws us closer in heart and mind to King Jesus. Pastor Brent takes a look at Psalm 119, which describes the beauty of God’s precepts and ultimately leads us to Jesus—the Word made flesh.
Imagine
What would a world marked by real justice and righteousness look like? That was the author of Psalm 72’s prayer for their king. Pastor Amy explores the beautiful world described in this passage, as well as the only King who is making it come to fruition.
What a Wonderful World
It’s easy to forget just how majestic and big God is. However, with just one look at His creation—from day-old infants to ducks to the ocean—we are reminded of the wonder of God as well as the vulnerability of humanity.
It’s My Life
God has invited us to join Him in the work of this world, but are we allowing Him to join us in the work of our life? Pastor Brent takes a look at Psalm 127, encouraging us to partner with God in all that we do. As we allow ourselves to partner with God, we start focusing less on doing the “right things” and more on being the “right people” that follow Jesus together.
Every Breath You Take
Psalm 139 is a beautiful reminder of God’s nearness in both the joys and difficulties of life. Pastor Brent and Amy explore this famous passage, revealing what it means to be fully known by a good God.
