One of the fundamental truths of the Christian faith is that God is triumphant over all. But when you look out at the world, it does not seem like God is triumphant. Psalm 59 invites God’s people to see how God’s triumph changes everything, from how we live to how we suffer.

God is a judge. This is good news and not something Christians should be ashamed of. Psalm 58 highlights the need, longing, and the good news of what it means for God to be judge.

Discipleship to Jesus requires grit and perseverance. But in our cultural moment, it can be easy to settle for what feels good or is convenient. Psalm 57 challenges God's people to live a life that intentionally chooses and says "I will" to God. Yet at the same time, the only reason we are able to say "I will" is because of God's steadfast love.

Psalm 66 is a song of vibrant praise and reminds God's people of the good things God has done. In a time when it is easy to look to other things besides God and his Word, Psalm 66 reorients the people of God to more resounding praise and honor of God, the thing we need most.

Fear, anxiety, worry. These seem to be the norm. But is there a better way to live? Every human being has fears they struggle with. The question becomes how do God's people respond in times of fear. Psalm 56 invites God’s people toward a deeper trust in the Lord that is rooted in the character and purposes of God.

Betrayal. It’s a loaded word with many expressions. Psalm 55 portrays betrayal with vivid and honest language, inviting the reader to cast the burden of betrayal on the Lord. As readers of Psalm 55 come to the Lord, they are invited to see and experience the good news more clearly: the One who has experienced ultimate betrayal has pursued those who have betrayed Him.

Psalm 53 is a psalm that both challenges and comforts. Clearly we inhabit a fractured world; but our current cultural moment often fixates on external faults as the primary issue. This perspective tends to blame 'those people,' 'that group,' or 'their ideas' for the corruption we see and experience. Psalm 53 challenges this mindset, highlighting the profound truth of our individual sin and corruption while also presenting a message of hope and grace.

This week, Isaiah Lewis from Sojourn Chattanooga preached from Isaiah 25-26. After a one-year residency at Coram Deo, Isaiah took over as Lead Pastor of Sojourn Chattanooga in January 2022. Listen as Isaiah (the preacher) preaches on the Death Swallowing-Feast Giving God from the prophet Isaiah.

What does it mean to be a Christian? What are the marks of genuine faith in Christ? While many might profess a form of cultural Christianity, Jesus has something more than simply a religious label or identification. In this last sermon in the book of Ephesians, we look at the marks of what a true Christian looks like.

The Christian life is described in various ways throughout Scripture; one of them being a battle. The Scriptures assume a reality of evil that we can not always see, yet is real and powerful. Yet as Christians, we don't fight for victory but we fight from a place of victory because of the finished work of Jesus and the power of the Spirit. In this teaching, we explore one of the more famous passages on spiritual warfare and evil.
