Why would we want to spend a Sunday thinking about death? We live in a culture that seems to want to pretend that death doesn’t exist ,or if it does it’s for other people, not for us. But Psalm 90:12 tells us that numbering our days is the way to wisdom. We’ll see that the Bible has the best possible explanation for why death exists and the only hope to defeat it.

It was on October 31st, 1517 that Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, sparking the Reformation. And it’s a celebration because the Lord used that movement to bring Gospel clarity to the church. The five solas of the Reformation each highlight the good news of the Gospel.

“Who is the man that fears the Lord?” The answer is more about God than it is about the us. This psalm is a guide that teaches us how to approach God in prayer as we deal with the challenges and struggles of life. Most importantly, it shows us why we can have absolute confidence in God to protect us and redeem us from all our troubles as we look to Him. This message was preached by Pastor Dan McIntosh on October 25, 2026.

In this series we’ve heard psalms of repentance and depression, psalms of fear and anger, and even psalms of wonder and comfort. This is a psalm about joy. Psalm 16 is about finding our joy in God, setting our hearts to find our happiness in Him. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on October 18 2026.

`Our culture is obsessed with identity and affirmation, which is really just our human craving to be seen and known and loved. Psalm 139 shows those desires can only be satisfied in God. As the 4th century African bishop Augustine said, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” Psalm 139 leads us to that rest. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on October 11, 2026.

Psalm 120 and 121 are the first two Psalms of Ascent, which were the songs that Old Testament saints sang on their pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the yearly feasts. Psalm 120 helps us express the despair of having to live in a world of lies and hostility, and Psalm 121 gives us the hope of help from above…from the Lord who cares for us and keeps us. And they both point us to Christ! This message was preached by Pastor Josh White on October 24, 2026.

C.S. Lewis called Psalm 19 “the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the great lyrics of the world.” The psalm guides us in three parts: From the partial revelation of God in creation; To the perfect revelation of God in His written Word; To the personal work of God in the hearts of His children. It takes us from a mysterious Creator of the universe to the God who is known by His people personally and intimately as their Rock and their Redeemer. This message was preached by Pastor Dan McIntosh on September 27, 2026.

In this series we’ve looked at psalms for the fearful, the depressed, and the guilty. Psalm 109 is a psalm for the angry. It is an imprecatory psalm where the psalmist calls on God to judge his enemies. Why would the Lord give us psalms like this? What benefit could they be to his people? How can they lead us to worship? Listen in to find out. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 20, 2026.

There’s a psalm for any struggle . There are psalms for the fearful, for the angry, for the envious, and for the depressed. Psalm 32 is a psalm for the guilty. It’s a psalm about sin and repentance. But it’s not a sad psalm - it begins and ends with joy, because repentance is ultimately about finding our happiness in the Lord. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 13, 2026.

Psalm 42 and 43 provides us an on-ramp for worship in our depression. These two psalms, which combine to form one song, give us such a beautifully sad description of what depression feels like and show us what to do when the darkness won’t lift. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on September 3, 2026.
