YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on August 11, 2024.

On our last week in the Psalms, we’re going to look at a Psalm that brings many of the other Psalms together and shows us how to build a rock-solid identity on God. It’s a Psalm that helps us see how to become the kind of people we want to become—the kind of people who know who we are in a way that cannot be shaken.

YEAR OF BIBLICAL LITERACY overview

Sermon by Jake Blair on July 7, 2024.

The Psalms are a unique collection in the Old Testament: 150 poems, songs, and prayers covering approximately 1,000 years of Israel’s history. The writers cover everything from hatred to pure joy and nearly everything in between. Some of the language and honesty in the Psalms are shocking–even uncomfortable to hear–because of how unfiltered they come across.

Amidst the raw emotions, the Psalms offer a beacon of hope. They guide us to understand what’s going on in our hearts and how to realign ourselves with reality, offering a path to transformation and spiritual growth. 

In this series, we’ll spend six weeks looking at specific chapters as we ask how God wants us to shape us as His people.

Stand-Alone | Psalms 42 and 43 | November 21

Sermon by Ryan Rike on November 21, 2021.

This week we’re doing what some of what you might call house-keeping. We are handling some family business together. On our annual member check-up reports, we noticed that 1/3 of our church family struggles with anxiety depression. So this morning we’re going to look at how the Psalmist deals with depression in Psalms 42-43.
