How do you handle fear? What do you run to when the unknown overwhelms you? The Psalms of the Bible offer some good answers and advice. As we read through them, Pastor Tim shows us that, ultimately, the safest we can ever be is next to our Father in the center of His will for our lives.

Praise and blessing--Psalm 103 is all about these. But do we really know what it looks like? Pastor Tim shows us through this passage that praise is a command before it's a habit, that it has to start inside before it becomes an outward expression, and that it's ultimately a response to God--Who He is, what He's already done, and what He's going to do in the future. When we praise with these things in mind, our entire focus can change for the better!

Psalm 23 is the most well-known of them all. You've probably heard it before, but do you know how to truly "lie down in green pastures" and let Him restore your soul? In the season for vacationing and finding rest, Pastor Tim's got some valuable tips for how to do it all God's way.

Road trip music--that's what Psalm 121 feels like! It's about stepping out of our comfort zone into the unknown. As we walk the journey of life, we can move with courage and shift our focus as needed, assured and aware of His presence beside us.

We know it's spelled "summer," but we couldn't resist :) Psalms is one of the most beloved parts of Bible. As we wind our way through this deep well of wisdom, literature, praises, prayers, and questions, we're reminded of the wide array of human emotion that the writers experienced. The psalms can even give us glimpses of Jesus. As we look at Psalm 1 today, we find some valuable life lessons about friendship, character, and doing things God's way.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes it is so hard to live for Jesus even though you love Him? Today, Pastor Zach Gryder talks about a seemingly small but incredibly destructive thing called SHAME. What behaviors stem from it? What are its effects on the brain? And most importantly, how can we deal with shame so that it doesn't have devastating effects on our souls?

It's the final week of The Unmentionables series! Today, we turn to the thief who hung beside Jesus on the cross. As Pastor Tim Ingram digs in to the story, we can pull out some powerful truths about sin, suffering, and the unfathomable cost of grace.

We're learning lessons from nobodies in the Bible, people who aren't named but had a big impact. This week, Pastor Tim shares about the Canaanite woman who begs Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter. Through her story, we can learn a lot about faith, persistence, even racism. What will the Holy Spirit speak to you about through the message?

Jesus told a story about a servant who was released from owing a huge debt. When we really dig into it with Pastor Tim, we find that forgiveness is one of the most difficult and yet most important practices for Christians. It's a hard topic, but let's allow our hearts to be open to the Lord as we listen.
