Failure isn't the end of your story - but pretending it never happened can be. In this powerful message from the Summer of Psalms series, guest speaker Kelly Workman walks us through King David's greatest failure and his heartfelt prayer of repentance in Psalm 51. Rather than hiding from God, David shows us the path back to restoration.

This sermon explores the weight of conviction, the danger of unconfessed sin, and the incredible mercy of a God who delights in forgiveness. Repentance isn't about earning God's love; it's about returning to the One who never stopped loving us.

Whether you're carrying guilt, wrestling with shame, or wondering if God could still use you, this message is a reminder that God's grace is greater than your greatest failure.

How do we get to God? Do we conquer the mountain through intellect, climb it through good works, or simply admire it from a distance? In this thought-provoking message from the Summer of Psalms series, we discover that every human approach to God ultimately falls short.

Looking at Psalms 24 and 48, we uncover the beauty of the gospel: Jesus didn't come to hand us a heavier backpack of religion; He came to carry us. Through His death and resurrection, Christ gives us clean hands, a pure heart, and access to the Father that we could never earn on our own.

Whether you've been trying harder, questioning God's truth, or simply admiring Jesus from afar, this message is an invitation to stop striving and start trusting the One who is the way, the truth, and the life.

When you've been hurt, falsely accused, or treated unfairly, every instinct tells you to defend yourself. But what if the greatest act of faith isn't picking up your sword; it's putting it down? In this message from Psalm 37, we discover God's invitation to trust Him as our Defender, Advocate, and Judge.

Looking at David's response to King Saul, we learn that revenge only prolongs our pain, while surrender opens the door for God's justice. Instead of being consumed by the actions of others, God calls us to trust Him, do good, and wait for Him to act. It's a challenging message, but one that leads to lasting peace, freedom, and confidence in God's faithfulness.

No matter what injustice you've faced, this sermon is a reminder that God sees it all. He has not forgotten you, and He is more than capable of defending those who belong to Him.

Waiting on God is one of the hardest parts of following Him. We know His promises are true, but what do we do when the answer hasn’t come, the breakthrough hasn’t happened, and God seems silent? In this opening message of the Summer of Psalms series, we explore Psalm 27 and discover how David navigated seasons of uncertainty, fear, and delay.

Rather than sitting passively, David teaches us how to wait actively. He remembers God's faithfulness, chooses worship over worry, seeks God's presence instead of quick solutions, and allows God to refine him in the process. Even while hiding in a cave and facing real danger, David learns that waiting is not wasted when it is spent with God.

If you're in a season of unanswered prayers, delayed dreams, or uncertain circumstances, this message will encourage you to trust God's timing, remain faithful in the waiting, and believe that you will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

We all reach moments where we desperately need direction: a major career decision, a life transition, a crossroads we can't navigate alone. In this closing message of the Yes and Amen series, Pastor David Martin walks through five promises God makes to every believer who is genuinely seeking His will. These aren't clever strategies or spiritual hacks; they're biblical anchors that have been tested in real life, through real uncertainty.

Drawing from 2 Corinthians, Proverbs 3, John 16, Isaiah 40, and the life of Jesus Himself, this message is both practical and deeply personal. From learning to listen to the Holy Spirit, to the discipline of fasting, to trusting God's timing in the waiting; this is a word for anyone who has ever prayed and wondered if God was actually listening.

If you've been sitting in uncertainty, frustrated by unanswered questions, or tempted to rush ahead of God, this message is for you. His will is not a puzzle to solve. It's a promise to receive.

Everyone wants to know their purpose. Why am I here? What did God create me to do? In this practical and inspiring message, we discover that purpose is not something we stumble into by accident - it is something God lovingly reveals as we seek Him first and learn to trust Him.

Through biblical examples and personal testimony, this sermon challenges the common misconceptions about purpose. God's calling is often different than we expect, bigger than we feel prepared for, and usually begins with small acts of obedience that seem insignificant at the time.

If you've ever felt stuck, directionless, or uncertain about God's plan for your life, this message will encourage you to stop chasing purpose and start pursuing Jesus. As you give God your yes, He promises to guide your steps and reveal the path He has prepared for you.
