Message: “Psalm 51” from Tim Grandstaff

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” Guest speaker, Pastor Tim Grandstaff, reminded us that sin is real, it has consequences, and it angers God—because it was never part of His plan. Through David’s words in Psalm 51, we saw a clear call to confess, repent, and seek God’s mercy.

We were challenged to bring our sin to God before it takes root in us, remembering that only He can cleanse what we cannot fix. True repentance isn’t about hiding sin—it’s about turning from it and asking God to create a clean heart within us.

In the end, we were reminded: we are all broken people in need of a giant God.

Message: “Built for the Battle” from Brian Bloye

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.

Message: “Welcome The King” from Chris Renfro

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.

Message: “Faith Like A Child” from Marcellus Casey

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.

Message: “An Investment of Tears” from Marcellus Casey

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.

Message: “God – My Father” from Christian Newsome

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.

Message: “King Jesus” from Ben Clarke

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.
