A message from the series “Sovereign Setbacks.” In this message about how to follow and serve God well in the midst of setbacks in life, Pastor Christian talks about the importance of trying to get the most out of your current circumstance in life rather than trying to get out of it. By drawing from examples in Paul’s life in the book of Acts, we learn about the three things to keep ourselves focused spiritually in difficult seasons, as well as how to find purpose in the waiting.https://www.youtube.com/live/ZYG2GMUQPVE?si=Bi42ZAGWxJAIIdMx

A message from the series “Sovereign Setbacks.” In this message, we learn more about why what we believe about God in the midst of setbacks can change our entire view of life’s difficult times. With a focus on God’s sovereignty and providence, we learn that God has a plan for everything, even difficult seasons. Ultimately, we learn how to trust God and remain faithful to Him in hard times.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” In the final message of our Jesus in the Psalms series, Pastor Christian delivers a powerful message illustrating how all of scripture, Old Testament and New, points to Jesus as God’s plan for salvation from the beginning.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” In this message, guest pastor Christian Gracia takes us through Psalm 73 through the lens of its author, Asaph. By looking at the words he wrote and the sentiment they communicate, we can learn about the dangers of having a discontent perspective in life, as well as how to overcome discontentment in our own lives.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” In this message, Pastor Marcellus Casey teaches about finding blessing in unity with other believers. By living in unity with others, even those with whom we have differences, we can all find the blessing of God’s sovereign grace.

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.

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.
