Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Practice of Giving." For the next three weeks we will turn to the Bible to look at healthy practices for a local church. This week we are looking at the practice of giving; next week is the practice of membership and serving. The last week we will cover the practice of Biblical discipline. Ask God to use this series in your own life and for His glory in the church.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Waiting for the Lord” from Psalm 27. Pastor Nate brings the message, "Waiting for the Lord" from Psalm 27. What can you do when fear threatens the security of your life? In Psalm 27 God gives us a way for fear to be defeated by a Biblically driven faith that waits for the Lord. What does that faith look like? Let's study Psalm 27 together to find out.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God, Test Me” from Psalm 26. We gathered together as a church family around the communion table and celebrated the victorious work of Christ over sin and death. Paul says that as we approach this gathering we ought to examine ourselves for unrepentant sin. The passage and sermon of Psalm 26 helps us to confidently examine our lives under God's steadfast love...love that changes our lives.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God’s Plan for Shame” from Psalm 25. Shame occasionally shows up and is the unwanted guest in our hearts. People's words, their hurtful actions, or even our own sins can open the door to this intruder, and he can stick around for years. In Psalm 25 David helps us voice our hurt and plead with the Lord for help.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "We’re Not That Glorious” from Psalm 24. It is so easy to slip back into the mindset of the sun: "everything is supposed to revolve around me." But, God graciously sets us straight in Psalm 24 by showing us the high glory of Jesus. Everything, including ourselves, revolves around Him.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God is Sovereign” from Psalm 2. During the month of August we are looking at how God's sovereign authority should give His people hope. This Sunday, we will see how God's sovereignty over the nations can keep Christians from losing their minds during a season of political chaos.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God is Good.” Do you ever get in a tailspin when you focus on the prosperity of the wicked? Well, join the Asaph-party of Psalm 73. It’s a psalm that presents the envious motives of our souls and the frustrations that follow. But then Asaph shares his personal testimony of how God brought him back into line.
Pastor Nate brings the message, “Confidence in the LORD” - Part 2. Since Christians have the privilege of coming to God in prayer we should study the Psalms which include both helpful examples and rich theology concerning prayer. Last week’s sermon from Psalm 20 taught us that we should trust in God because of who He is and seek His glory to be on display with our prayer requests. This message shows how God answered David’s request and how focusing on the glory of God helps us with prayer.
Pastor Nate brings the message, “Confidence in the LORD.” Fully trusting in the LORD, David went into battle after battle and faced giants greater than him. His ultimate hope was not in military might but in “the name of the LORD our God” and God delivered David. Are we supposed to pray Psalm 20? And, if so, in what situations?
Pastor Nate brings the message, “God’s Creation, God’s Word, God’s People.” Psalm 19 speaks of God’s creation and His Word. Creation declares not only God’s existence, but also His glory. God’s Word powerfully guides us through everyday life and declares Jesus as the one and only Savior. The response to God, the creator and author of scripture should be humility and surrender at the deepest parts of who we are.
Pastor Nate brings the message, “Is God Enough for You? When the trial delivers a major blow to your life is God enough for you? We know the correct, Sunday-school answer to that question, but does our heart confidently answer, “Yes, God is enough!” In Psalm 18 David leads us through various aspects of God’s nature that will bolster our faith for the coming week to endure through the trials and believe that God is enough.
Pastor Andy brings the message, “Vindication from the Lord” from Psalm 17. When we walk in fellowship with God, we expect God’s favor to be on us. But what happens when we find ourselves in fellowship with Him and experiencing difficulty? Where do we turn? Psalm 17 gives voice to the person caught in the storm of unjust treatment and points us to our supreme Advocate, God Himself.
Pastor Nate brings the message, “The Lord is My Chosen Portion” from Psalm 16. There are several Biblical steps we can take when we find ourselves in fearful crises such as praying for deliverance or trusting in God’s sovereignty. Or, as we see in Psalm 16, we can consider whether or not the greatest gift is still ours in the moment of crisis. Psalm 16 will encourage us to see that when all seems to be in peril, we still have God.
Pastor Nate brings the message, “Fellowship with God” from Psalm 15. How must we live to enjoy fellowship with God? That’s the question that David asks in Psalm 15, and it’s not one of legalism. It’s a question grounded in love for God. Psalm 15 gives us an insight into regular disciplines we an pursue in order to enjoy our relationship with God.
Pastor Andy brings the message, "A Seismic Crisis” from Psalm 11. Hypothetically, what if you faced a crisis that caused your whole world to shake? Where would you turn? What would you hold on to? In Psalm 11, David is not facing hypotheticals, he is facing foundation shattering events. As we look into his response, we want to imitate him in seeking ultimate refuge in the righteous Judge.
