Empowering People

Paul encourages the believer to be strong in the Lord. We will look this morning at the Armor of God, the various pieces and what they represent, and why it is important to remain in a place of prayer and the study of God's Word.

This morning Pastor Marty and Pastor Travis will be preparing us for this upcoming Sunday’s message on Psalm 86.

What happens to a nation, culture, organization or group when the people empowered to execute justice in verdicts or in punishments abuse that power and responsibility and instead pervert justice? It's not good, that's for sure.

This morning we will look (quickly) at three proverbs that depict sorrow-producing situations. The end result of a crooked-hearted person is sorrow. The sorrow a parent feels with a foolish son or daughter is intense. The sorrow that comes from a crushed spirit can "dry up your bones". Can any of these situations be changed, altered, restored, made new or reversed?

David in Psalm 55 models for the reader proper expression of emotion and channels where to direct it, while remaining very authentic and even appearing dramatic at times. Altogether, he captures well the tensions of being human, life in a world filled with injustice and his personal desire to remain faithful to God. How might you and I learn to channel our feelings in the midst of injustice to the right places? Join Eric as we reflect on Psalm 55 this morning.

This morning Marty and Eric will discuss the themes of Psalm Song 91 and how those big ideas can apply to our lives.

Ann Hughes will be sharing this morning. Reflecting on how secular music fits in with our faith.

What happens to a people or culture when those entrusted to execute justice do the opposite? What does God require of all of us when it comes to justice?
