What do you do when life leaves you without answers?

In Psalm 98, we're invited to sing a new song because of God's faithfulness—but this invitation runs much deeper than simply celebrating after a victory. Throughout Scripture, we discover that God's people often worship before they see their breakthrough.

In this message, Josh traces this powerful theme through King Jehoshaphat, Paul and Silas in prison, and ultimately Jesus Himself, who sang a hymn before walking into Gethsemane and the cross.

If you've ever wondered how to trust God when life feels uncertain, this message is for you.

In this message you'll discover:

• Why worship changes our perspective

• What Jehoshaphat teaches us about trusting God

• Why Paul and Silas sang in prison

• Why Jesus sang before the cross

• How worship becomes an act of faith before circumstances change

What does it mean to live a life well?

Psalm 90 is a prayer that speaks honestly about the shortness of life, the seriousness of sin, and the pain of living in a broken world. It reminds us that God has been the dwelling place of His people in every generation and invites us to pray, “Teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.”

In this message from the Invitations From God in the Psalms series, we explore how Psalm 90 helps us face life honestly. Our days are limited. Our world is broken by sin. Our pain is real. But God is eternal, faithful, merciful, and near.

This sermon looks at God’s eternal nature, our fallen nature, and the hope of redemption in Jesus Christ. Psalm 90 ultimately points us to Jesus, the second Adam, who came to reverse the curse of sin, defeat death, and begin the restoration of all things.

Where do you run when life feels unstable?

Psalm 71 gives us a picture of someone facing affliction, accusation, aging, weakness, and uncertainty. The psalmist asks God to be a “rock of refuge” to which he can continually come. In other words, he asks God to be his home.

This message explores how we often build homes for our anxious hearts through control, success, family stability, reputation, finances, or the dream of a life that cannot be shaken. But when affliction and accusation come, those homes cannot hold.

The good news of Psalm 71 is not that Christianity promises an easy or stable life. It does not. The promise is that when life is not steady, someone is holding you. Jesus became the ultimate homeless exile, took the affliction and accusation our sin deserved, and opened the way for us to come home to God.

In this sermon, we explore what it means to run to God as our refuge, to trust His righteousness, to hope in Christ, and to praise Him even in the middle of hardship.

What do we do about our grief, sorrow, and pain?

In this message from the Invitations From God in the Psalms series, we look at Psalms 42 and 43 and God’s invitation to lament. These psalms give language to the experience of feeling spiritually dry, emotionally overwhelmed, and far from the comfort of God’s presence.

Biblical lament is not faithlessness. It is faith bringing grief, confusion, anger, loneliness, anxiety, and pain honestly before God. The psalmist cries out from a place of deep need, asks hard questions, remembers God’s faithfulness, and repeatedly speaks hope to his own soul: “Hope in God, for I shall again praise him.”

This sermon explores why lament is a sign of faith, how lament helps us know God better, and how lament helps us understand our own hearts more honestly. We also look at how Jesus Himself prayed the Psalms and entered into lament on the cross, showing us that God welcomes our honest cries and forms us through them.

Why is prayer so hard?

Many Christians believe that God hears us, loves us, and welcomes us, but our actual prayer lives often feel distracted, awkward, inconsistent, or strained. Psalm 28 gives us a deeply honest picture of prayer. David cries out in desperation, asks for mercy, wrestles with the wicked, and eventually moves into praise and confidence in God.

This message explores how Psalm 28 invites us to pray honestly and expect transformation. God does not invite only polished, eloquent, spiritually confident people to pray. He invites real people with messy hearts, scattered thoughts, fear, anger, doubt, and need.

In this sermon, we look at why prayer is difficult, how Psalm 28 gives us permission to come honestly before God, and how prayer transforms us as we look upward to the Lord. Because of Jesus, we can come to the Father not as strangers, but as beloved sons and daughters.

What do you do when you feel like you are sinking?

Psalm 130 begins with a cry from the depths and becomes an invitation to wait for the Lord. This psalm teaches us how to pray honestly when we are overwhelmed by sin, sorrow, regret, or the brokenness of the world. It reminds us that if God kept a record of sins, none of us could stand, but with the Lord there is forgiveness.

In this message, we explore what it means to wait on God with hope. Waiting is not passive resignation. It is active trust. Like watchmen waiting for the morning, we wait because we know the dawn will come.

This sermon also points us to Jesus, who waited faithfully in the wilderness and trusted the Father where Israel failed. In Christ, we discover that God’s redemption is not scarce or reluctant. It is plentiful.

How can you know that you have eternal life?

In the final message of our Abide series, we look at 1 John 5:6–21 and John’s closing words about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. John writes to believers who may struggle with doubt, guilt, fear, and uncertainty, and he reminds them that eternal life is found in Jesus.

This message explores why Jesus’ humanity matters, why His death on the cross was necessary, and how believers can have confidence before God. John reminds us that whoever has the Son has life, and that those who belong to Jesus are heard by God, protected by Christ, and helped by the Holy Spirit in the fight against sin.

In this sermon, we explore what it means to know that we have eternal life, how to pray with confidence, how to intercede for brothers and sisters caught in sin, and why John ends his letter by warning us to keep ourselves from idols.

What does it really mean when the Bible says, “God is love”?

In 1 John 4, we’re invited to see love not as a vague feeling or cultural slogan, but as something rooted in the very being of God. God’s love is revealed most clearly in Jesus Christ, who came near, gave Himself for us, and calls us to love one another.

This message explores:

• Why “God is love” is such a powerful claim

• How Jesus reveals the true meaning of love

• Why Christian love is sacrificial, present, and purposeful

• What it means for God’s love to be perfected in the church

• How perfect love drives out fear

• Why loving God cannot be separated from loving His people

Love is not just something we talk about. It is something God forms in us as we abide in Him and learn to love one another.

What if sharing your faith wasn’t meant to feel forced?

On Pentecost Sunday, we’re reminded that the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary believers to live as witnesses for Jesus—not just through sermons, but through everyday life.

This message explores:

• What evangelism really means

• Why Christians are called “living proof”

• How Jesus engaged people relationally

• The role of prayer and the Holy Spirit

• Why your personal story matters

• How to share the gospel naturally through everyday relationships

The gospel spread through ordinary believers in the early church, and God still works through ordinary people today.

You don’t need all the answers.

You simply need a life shaped by Jesus.

What does real love look like?

In 1 John 3, we are given two powerful examples: Cain, whose self-love led to death, and Jesus, whose sacrificial love brings life.

This message explores what it means to love one another not merely “in word or talk,” but “in deed and truth.” Love is not just a feeling, a rule, or a religious idea. Love is the evidence that God’s life is at work in us.

In this sermon, we look at:

• Why Cain is a warning about self-focused love

• How sin curves us inward and deforms us

• Why Jesus’ death defines true love

• What it means to lay down our lives for others

• How God reassures us when our hearts condemn us

• Why abiding in Christ leads to action

Jesus loved us by laying down His life. Now, by His Spirit, we are invited to become people who love with that same sacrificial grace.
