A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” In this message, Built for the Battle, Pastor Brian Bloye reminded us that while spiritual warfare is real and ongoing, we are not left unprotected. Rooted in Psalm 91, the sermon highlighted God’s powerful promises of protection, presence, and provision for those who dwell closely with Him.

We were challenged to stand strong in the battle by staying close to God (Psalm 91:1), trusting Him fully (Psalm 91:2, Proverbs 3:5-6), and embracing His promises during life’s spiritual struggles. Pastor Brian unpacked the reality that while we face a very real enemy (1 Peter 5:8, Ephesians 6:12), we are not alone—God offers supernatural backup, courage in the face of fear, and the assurance of victory.

The message concluded with seven powerful promises from God to those who love and trust Him (Psalm 91:14-16), including His protection, presence in trouble, and ultimate salvation.

No matter the battle, we are built for it—because we have a God who fights for us.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” On Sunday, guest pastor Chris Renfro of Hope Church Union Hill shared a powerful message from Psalm 24, reminding us what it truly means to welcome the King of Glory—Jesus—into our lives.

Through the story of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem, we saw how God’s presence demands reverence, holiness, and awe. Pastor Chris outlined three ways we welcome the King:

Recognize Who He Is – God is the Creator, Owner, and Sustainer of all things. Everything belongs to Him and reflects His glory—including us.

Rest in What He’s Done – None of us are worthy to stand in God’s presence on our own. But through Jesus, who gives us His righteousness, we can draw near with confidence.

Receive Him in Your Heart – Psalm 24 calls us to open wide the gates of our hearts. It’s not enough to acknowledge Jesus externally—He must be welcomed personally and fully into our lives.

The service closed with a passionate call to not miss Jesus like the crowds who sang Psalm 24 during Palm Sunday but failed to recognize the King riding into their city.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” In this message, Pastor Marcellus points to the wisdom of Psalm 131 as it reminds us to come to God with humility and complete surrender, as a child to their parent. In this, he shares three things needed for anyone to have a childlike faith.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” Psalm 126 reminded us that our tears are not wasted but are transformed by God into joy, renewal, and spiritual impact. When we endure sorrow, God brings restoration and turns our mourning into a testimony of His faithfulness. Our joy becomes a witness to the world, showing others the goodness of God. In dry, weary seasons, He brings refreshment and life, just as rivers flow through the desert. Ultimately, our tears sow seeds that, in time, produce a harvest of righteousness and hope. This passage calls us to trust God with our pain, knowing He uses it for His glory and our growth.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” This week’s message focused on God’s compassionate, fatherly heart. Psalm 103 reminds us of the many benefits of knowing God—He forgives, heals, redeems, and satisfies our souls. We reflected on how God revealed His name to Moses as merciful and gracious, showing us His favor even when we don’t deserve it.

Finally, we saw the fatherhood of God in how He understands our weakness and loves us like His own children. Through Jesus’ compassion and suffering, we see the true heart of our heavenly Father.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” Yesterday’s sermon explored the majestic and prophetic depth of Psalm 110, revealing Christ as our victorious King, eternal Priest, and coming Judge. We saw how Jesus’ finished work on the cross affirms His right to rule — not only at the right hand of God but also in our hearts. His present reign is marked by unshakable peace and priestly intercession, calling us to live in grateful worship and steadfast faith. Finally, the psalm points us to His coming kingdom, where Christ will return in power to judge evil, establish eternal justice, and claim the worship He alone deserves.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” This message highlighted our need to choose the right Shepherd. David’s failures showed that no one—not family, strength, or good intentions—can lead us like Jesus can. Psalm 23 reminds us that Jesus is the Shepherd of our soul, our circumstances, and our salvation. He brings true rest, walks with us through every valley, and secures our eternal hope.

A message from the series “Better Relationships.” This week, we focused on Ephesians 6 and the truth that the Armor of God is found in Jesus. As we face life’s daily battles, we’re called to abide in Him and live with a mindset of spiritual readiness, not comfort.

We learned the importance of being strengthened by God, resisting the enemy, and staying aware of his schemes. Daily, we are invited to put on Christ—embracing truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God.
Above all, we were reminded to pray continually, staying connected to the One who equips us for victory.

A message from the series “Better Relationships.” In this message, we reflected on Jesus’ powerful parable of the unforgiving servant and were reminded that we owed far more than we realized, had received more than we deserved, and were called to extend the same mercy we had been shown. We saw that true forgiveness wasn’t about what others deserved—but about what God had already done for us through Christ. Holding onto bitterness only kept us imprisoned, but forgiving from the heart set us free and allowed us to reflect the heart of God.

A message from the series “Better Relationships.” This week’s message focused on the spiritual value of honor, particularly in our relationship with our parents. Drawing from Deuteronomy, we explored ten ways to honor our parents—by protecting our relationship with them from the effects of sin and nurturing their relationship with God. We were reminded that true honor involves grace, humility, justice, and spiritual support. The sermon also confronted the spiritual reality of neglect, cautioning us not to withhold care from loved ones under the guise of religious intentions. Finally, we celebrated the gift of spiritual family, which extends beyond biology. Jesus invites us into a lasting, borderless family of faith—and calls us to help others, including our parents, find that family too.
