In Psalm 103, David preaches to his own soul, intentionally remembering the character and benefits of God until forgetfulness gives way to praise. This message invites us to practise gratitude not by denying what is painful, but by reminding ourselves that God is God, and God is good.

Psalm 51 is both David’s confession of sins and a great song about forgiveness and restoration. It is full of emotion yet rich in theology. It is poetic yet practical. It is a great song from which we can learn about the journey of divine forgiveness.

Injustice and unfairness are inevitable parts of life. When facing these trials, what truth can we firmly hold onto? Is waiting for divine justice our only option, or is there a deeper peace available to us right now? In week three of our Selah series, we dive into Psalm 139 to discover powerful, biblical wisdom for navigating life's injustices.

Have you ever felt like you're on the wrong train – exhausted, distracted, arriving somewhere you never intended to be? Moses knew that feeling well. In Psalm 90, he offers a guide for the wandering soul. Through three simple anchors – The Tent, The Clock, and The Table – we'll explore how to find lasting identity, redeem our time, and discover genuine satisfaction. Whether you're a lifelong believer or just exploring, this message is for anyone who's ever felt a little lost.

Using 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 as a theological foundation, this message illustrates specific ways God can speak to us through other people. Since it can be difficult to discern if what people say to us really comes from God, four key questions are offered to assist with such needed discernment.

The silence of God is always purposeful. It never means He is angry, apathetic, or absent.

Many of us are desperate to hear from God. Not just in the general ways, but in specific, heartfelt ways that speak directly to our immediate needs.

We’ve often been taught that the Bible is God’s voice. If we truly believed that, why is it so hard for us to read it on a consistent basis? And why does it sometimes seem like it remains silent in our lives? Today we explore the disconnect, and examine how a perspective change on the Word of God might actually help us appreciate it and turn to it more often. 

The everyday christian experience should be lived with the expectation of hearing from God. Not necessarily in dramatic ways, but in the ordinary push and pull of life.
