Psalm 45 describes a royal wedding, a wedding that isn't just pointing to a king, but ultimately leading us to the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. But is Psalm 45 really pointing to Jesus? Join us as Pastor Jim Schultz explains how the Old Testament points us to Christ in so many ways!

Psalm 44 has a different tone than many other Psalms. Instead of a personal lament and cry to God, the psalmist speaks on behalf of the nation and utters a lament to the Lord. As Christians in the West have we lost sight of the corporate nature of our faith? Are there things we should be mourning or bringing before God in a more corporate way? Join us as we explore these ideas in Psalm 44.

Have you ever felt conflicted inside? Where on one hand you know that God is your refuge but on the other it feels like He has abandoned you to these painful circumstances? In Psalm 43 we see this tension by the psalmist, he wants to be near to God but currently is feeling distant from God. If you're going through difficulty, don't run from the God who is your refuge, express that difficulty to Him and allow God to bring you hope. 

Where do you turn when you are flooded with grief? How do you lament pain and hardship? In Psalm 42 we look at the practical process of moving forward through grief using the instrument of lament. We discover that you can simultaneously feel great pain and put your hope in God through the difficulty. 

What you build your house on and what you build your life upon matter. When the difficulties of life hit where will you find yourself? Will the floods of hardship reveal a house built on the solid rock of Christ or will it erode the foundations and leave you in despair. Join us as we learn about the importance of not only hearing the teachings of Jesus but also following His example and obeying them. 

Just because a person speaks as if they know the truth and are confident in their assertions doesn't mean they are a true prophet or true believer. In this week's sermon we explore the sobering reality that Jesus warns us about; the problem of false prophets and false believers. 

As children we learn that if we want something we need to ask for it, if we're not sure where something is we look for it, and if we're standing outside of somebody's door we knock. In all of those things we expect something very specific: when we ask, we prepare to receive, if we search we anticipate finding what we're looking for, and if we knock we expect the person inside will open the door. These are all very obvious things in our daily lives, but have you applied this same logic in relating to God? Jesus did. He said, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7)

Has anyone ever told you, "Judge not lest you be judged!"? While it is a very real and true verse from the Bible, it must be held in tension with the rest of the passage. Just as "Love your enemies" and "Bad company ruins good morals" must be held in tension, so too does "Judge not lest you be judged". In this sermon Pastor Jim Schultz looks at the important question of when to call out sin in other's lives, and reminding us that we cannot ignore the potentially weightier sin in ours.  

Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful" and called his disciples to "pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." As you go about your days are you approaching life as if there is a plentiful harvest for the Lord? If not, be encouraged that there is a plentiful harvest for the Lord that Christians get to be a part of!

Jesus performed many miracles during his earthly ministry; turning water into wine, walking on water, healing the blind, and the list goes on. While all of these miracles of Jesus are amazing, it can be easy to miss the reason these miracles were performed. Join us this week as we look beyond the miracles themselves and explore their purpose.
