This Psalm is unique amongst the psalter because it not only laments the painful and humiliating things God is doing to his covenant people, it also accuses him of unfairness. God has seemingly disciplined his people even though they've done nothing wrong. How do you respond when you sense God's injustice like that in your life?

In this message we explore some of the history and challenges of downtown Denver, provide a brief biblical theology of City and Mission, and share practical ways of living on mission in a neighborhood that needs the hope, love, and shalom of Jesus Christ.

This text addresses the question, "Where is God when life hurts?" The writer assumes the presence of pain means the absence of God. Yet he instructs his soul to continue to hope and trust in the God of his salvation.

This psalm reminds us that God is especially near to those who show mercy to the vulnerable—because He Himself is a God of mercy. David, suffering physically and emotionally, is betrayed by a close friend—pointing us forward to the ultimate betrayal Christ would endure. Yet even in pain, David clings to the steadfast love of God, trusting that God will raise him up. The psalm closes in worship, anchoring our hope not in circumstances, but in the unchanging faithfulness of the Lord.

We are not only saved from something, we are also saved to something. The response of the rescued is to testify to the goodness and greatness of Jesus Christ.

Amidst the trials and uncertainties of life, in both your silence and your speaking, hope in the Lord.

In Psalm 38, David is tormented physically, emotionally, psychologically, relationally, and spiritually because of his sin. But instead of concealing it, minimizing it, rationalizing it, or blaming someone else, David owns it. He confesses his sin and cries out to God to discipline him in mercy and to rescue him.

It's natural to envy or even despise the wicked when you see them enjoying a level of success and prosperity that is unfair. But this Psalm guides you to redirect your focus and perspective so that you can find your delight in that which truly matters for eternity.

Jesus provided the simplest explanation of discipleship when he called fisherman to leave their nets and follow him so that he could make them become fishers of men. Discipleship means following Jesus and being transformed by Jesus in order to live on Jesus' mission.

In John 17, Jesus prayed that his followers be characterized by seven character traits: faith, joy, holiness, truth, mission, unity, and ultimately love. He prayed that the Church would be filled with these traits simply by living in union with him. This message explores the centrality of love to the effective functioning of the other character qualities.
