Bison turn into the storm in order to move through it more quickly. In this sermon Pastor Garth explains what we can do to turn into the storms we experience in life.

Psalm 82 is encouraging to the Christians because it shows us that God not only deals with wicked humanity but wicked angelic beings too. That he judges them and they too shall die just like man. Although they may take control of the world they will not stand in the judgment in the last days before God. 

Psalm 90, a Psalm of Moses, gives us wisdom to know how best to use our time in light of knowing we are temporary and God is eternal.

We ought to marvel that God not only communicates to us but that the reason he communicates is so that we would know him! In this sermon Pastor Garth explains to two main ways God communicates and reveals himself to us.

We all agree that God is magnificent, but in Psalm 8 David reveals the ways in which God's magnificence is shocking and unexpected. Listen as Pastor Garth explains the shocking nature of God's majesty. 

What does a genuine confession of sin look like? How can we know we've truly confessed our sins with broken hearts to be reconciled to God? Pastor Garth answers these questions and more from Psalm 51.

Psalm 1 asks and answers this question: How can I be happy? There seem to be many options, but the author of this Psalms wants us to understand that the wisdom of the world does not lead to happiness but ruin. Rather, by loving and obeying the word of God do we find true happiness. 

The world says we should be humble for the sake of being humble. But the Bible tells us there is a great reward for those who humble themselves before God! In this message Pastor Garth shows us from Mark 10:35-45 the true reward for being humble. 

This Sunday's message examined an action by Jesus that in the ancient world was considered so lowly and demeaning that even the lowest slaves in the household did not wish to do it, and yet Christ himself willfully performed the action: Feet washing. This action was synonymous with slavery and that is the point: Christ, the King of creature, became a slave for his creatures to cleanse them from sin and redeem them to himself. This is an incredible picture of Jesus practicing humility that we are commanded to follow.
