Psalm 15 opens with a searching question: "O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?" The answer is a portrait of a righteous person—blameless, truthful, committed, generous, and wise. But if we're honest, none of us meets the standard. This sermon explores each of these five marks and helps us see how they ultimately point us to Jesus Christ—the only One truly worthy to dwell in God's presence. And the good news? Through Christ, God chooses to dwell with us. Come be reminded of both the high calling of holiness and the grace of God who makes His home with His people.

What does it mean to live as if God doesn't exist? In this powerful message from Psalm 14, we explore the biblical definition of a fool—not someone who simply lacks intelligence, but one who stubbornly rejects the truth of God's existence. This psalm, echoed throughout Scripture, confronts both theoretical and practical atheism—the kind that denies God with the lips or with a godless lifestyle. You'll learn: Why atheism, both new and old, is described as foolishness The danger of confessing God with our mouths but denying Him in our hearts Why no one is truly "good" apart from God How Christ is our wisdom, righteousness, and salvation from the foolishness of sin We are reminded that the salvation longed for in Zion has come through Jesus Christ—and that even the fool can become wise through faith in Him. 👉 Whether you're questioning God's existence or wrestling with the reality of sin in your own heart, this sermon invites you to turn to Christ, our hope and our wisdom. 🔔 Don't forget to subscribe, share, and follow along with our Summer Through the Psalms reading plan—available on social media! #Psalm14 #SummerThroughThePsalms #HarvestLibertyLake #SermonPodcast #BiblePreaching #GospelHope

In this message from our Summer Through the Psalms series, we explore Psalm 13—a short but powerful Psalm of lament. David's cry of "How long, O Lord?" resonates deeply with anyone who has walked through seasons of prolonged suffering, silence, or spiritual dryness. Pastor Sam Kraemer walks us through the honest, raw movement of this psalm: from sorrow, to seeking, to song. Whether your suffering is physical, emotional, or spiritual, Psalm 13 teaches us how to bring our pain to God in prayer and find hope in His steadfast love. 🕊️ You'll be encouraged to: Pray honest prayers of lament Recognize that even godly saints like David, Job, and Paul endured long seasons of unanswered prayers Trust in God's past faithfulness as fuel for present endurance Sing even when the suffering hasn't lifted—because God's love never fails 📖 "But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me." — Psalm 13:5–6 📚 Recommended Resource: Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering by Tim Keller

In Psalm 12, David cries out in a world filled with lies and deception. This message explores the contrast between the destructive words of the wicked and the pure, life-giving words of the Lord.

Watch this sermon to be reminded of where to place your trust in a world full of noise. #Psalm12 #SummerThroughThePsalms #HarvestLibertyLake #GodsWordIsPure #JesusIsTheWord

In this final message from our summer series in Genesis, Pastor Sam Kraemer walks through Genesis 17, where God gives Abraham the covenant sign of circumcision. Though the topic may feel uncomfortable at first, this chapter reveals deep spiritual truths about how God relates to His people—through covenant, promises, and grace. As Abraham receives the final element of God's covenant, we see three powerful movements: God's Promises Reiterated – reminding Abraham of what He's already said. God's Promises Reaffirmed – showing they still stand even after Abraham's failures. God's Promises Expanded – pointing not just to a nation, but to a future people from all nations, fulfilled in Christ. Pastor Sam also explains how covenant signs (like circumcision in the Old Testament and baptism today) are not the means of salvation, but visible declarations of inward spiritual realities. The message concludes with a reminder of God's faithfulness in doing the impossible, including the promised miraculous birth of Isaac. Key Themes: – Covenant theology – Faith and obedience – Spiritual vs. physical signs – God's faithfulness despite our failures – Baptism and belonging to God's people – Joy in gospel promises, even when the world laughs If you've ever doubted God's timing or wondered whether His promises still apply to you, this message will encourage you to see how God is always faithful, always at work, and never forgetful of what He has promised. 🔔 Subscribe for more gospel-centered preaching 🌐 Visit https://www.harvestlibertylake.com for more info 📍 Join us in person to experience what God is doing at Harvest Liberty Lake

In Genesis 16, we witness a tragic but familiar pattern: God's people, growing impatient with His timing, take matters into their own hands—with painful consequences. As Abram and Sarai attempt to fulfill God's promise through human means, we see a breakdown of faith, the rise of dysfunction, and the deep personal suffering that follows. But amid the fallout, a powerful truth emerges: God is not absent. He sees the affliction of Hagar, an Egyptian servant cast out and alone, and He meets her in compassion and mercy. In this sermon, Pastor Sam Kraemer explores how God remains faithful even when we are not—and how He sees and hears those who feel forgotten or mistreated. Whether you're walking through broken relationships, waiting on God's promises, or struggling to lead faithfully, this message reminds us that the God of Abraham is still the God who sees, hears, and redeems. 📖 Text: Genesis 16 🎙️ Series: Genesis – Foundations of Our Faith 🎉 Occasion: Father's Day 📍 Harvest Liberty Lake Church 🔔 Subscribe to stay updated with future messages. 🙏 For more info or to connect, visit harvestlibertylake.com

In this foundational message from Genesis 15, Pastor Sam Kraemer unpacks one of the most significant chapters in the book of Genesis—and indeed in the entire Bible. As we continue our study through the life of Abram, we come to the powerful moment when God's promises are sealed not merely with words, but through covenant. Pastor Sam outlines two vital truths from the passage: Righteousness Comes by Faith – Abram believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness (v.6). This truth echoes through the entire Bible and lays the groundwork for the gospel of Jesus Christ. God's Covenant is Unbreakable – In a stunning act of grace, God alone walks the covenant path, demonstrating that He—not Abram—bears the full weight of both promise and curse. Whether you're struggling to trust God's promises or questioning how salvation truly works, this sermon reminds us that our hope does not rest on our performance, but on the covenant-keeping God who credits righteousness to those who believe.

What do an ancient battle, a daring rescue, and a mysterious priest-king have in common? They all point us to Jesus. In Genesis 14, Abram defeats a coalition of kings to rescue his nephew Lot. But the real highlight comes when he meets Melchizedek, the priest of God Most High—a foreshadowing of Christ, our eternal Priest and King. This message explores how God fulfills His promises through weakness and how Jesus is the greater Melchizedek who rules and intercedes for us. 📖 Genesis 14 🎙️ Pastor Sam Kraemer 📍Harvest Liberty Lake Church ➡️ Watch now and be encouraged to trust God's power in your battles. #Genesis14 #Melchizedek #JesusOurKing #HarvestLibertyLake #BiblePreaching #ReformedFaith #ChristCentered

In this message from Genesis 12:10–20, Pastor Sam Kraemer walks us through one of the lowest moments in Abraham's life—a time marked by fear, compromise, and deception.

But more importantly, we see something greater: the unwavering faithfulness of God.
