  • A City for You

    Guest Speaker Renay West shares an amazing message anchored in the biblical Cities of Refuge.

  • Psalms for the Summer, Week 10

    Psalm 46 declares that God is our refuge, our mighty fortress. He guards and protects us. 

    But understanding that, why do we still struggle with insecurity, anxiety, and fear?

    Our innate need for security will only be met as we learn to dwell with God, our fortress and refuge.

    Where do you need the security of God's love and grace?

  • Psalms for the Summer, Week 9

    We all need rest. But the pressure to work, both internally and externally, drives us to more. Psalm 23 points to a different way of life. 

    It reminds us that the personal care and goodness of God is an invitation for each of us to find deep rest for our souls. 

    Where does your soul need rest?

  • Psalms for the Summer: Week 8
    An appetite for God is intrinsic but also developed. Thirst can be intensified but also dulled. Do we truly hunger to know God?
     
    Join us as we look at Psalm 42, a poem that deals with a hunger and thirst for more of God even during the Dark Night of the Soul.

  • Psalms for the Summer, Week 7

    Psalm 25 is a poetic reorientation from David, verbally processing God's amazing ability, our need to trust and be guided by God, along with a personal conversation with God, confessing our anguish and sin.

    Through it all, we land on our renewed focus to trust God, submitting our life to Him as our Lord, guide, and teacher.

    What is God saying to you?

  • Psalms for the Summer, Week 6

    Psalm 20 reminds us of both God's amazing capacity to protect us, bless us, and answer our cry for help as well as challenge us to trust in God. Our tendencies are to put our trust in anything BUT God.

    Becoming like Jesus include rebuilding your preconceived broken trust tendencies into a secure trust of God.  

    How is that possible? Because we can trust in a loving God because He is a God who first cares for us.

  • Psalms for the Summer, Week 5
    If you sit under the vast evening sky and gaze at the millions of stars strewn across that dark canvas, you experience a sense of awe, but also of your smallness.
     
    Psalm 8 is a masterful poem that reverses that--revealing the awe that God sees your significance, and in fact, created you with enormous purpose.

  • Psalms for the Summer, Week 4
    St. Athanasius stated that "[The psalms] become like a mirror to the person singing them, so that he might perceive himself and the emotions of his soul." 
     
    In Psalm 3 David is on the run from his son, Absalom. After he flees the palace, he writes a poem speaking of the full assurance that God would deliver him. This came from a deep life with God, the One who delivered him before and he believed God would deliver him again. We are continually challenged to trust God even when things look hopeless.

  • Psalms for the Summer, Week 3
    St. Athanasius stated that "[The psalms] become like a mirror to the person singing them, so that he might perceive himself and the emotions of his soul." 
     
    Psalms 6 dives into a prayer where we can express our hearts when overwhelmed with life. When life threatens to sink you, reach for Jesus, the rock whom will ultimately sustain you.

  • Psalms for the Summer, Week 2

    St. Athanasius stated that "[The psalms] become like a mirror to the person singing them, so that he might perceive himself and the emotions of his soul." 

    Psalm 2 reveals our tendencies to fight God and His ways, resisting His way because of our desire to do it OUR way. It promised a future Messiah, Jesus, but helps illuminate the feelings we still have as we anticipate God's Kingdom.
