This week, Pastor David reads and teaches from Psalm 42. He talks about how our souls were made by God to be tethered to, integrated with, and fulfilled by him and him alone.

Pastor David continues our sermon series, Flourishing Soul, as he teaches about what it means to have a contented soul. He reads from the book of Philippians and uses Paul’s words and teaching to reorient us to our only source of true contentment – regardless of our circumstances.

This week, Pastor David begins our new sermon series: Flourishing Soul. He comes alongside us in the difficult task of defining what a soul is and how we take care of it or how we often don’t take care of it well. He invites us into a space of communion with God and to the truth of God’s love as the way to a nourished soul.

Scripture referenced: Psalm 103:1-5

This week, we heard from our new West Creek Campus pastor, Matt Hartman, for the first time. He brings a powerful and authentic word on the hope we have in Christ. He talks about how this hope can be misunderstood and mistakenly defined by our culture. Instead, we’re offered a real hope that brings life in Christ alone and it is only through Christ that we have this hope at all.
