The capacity to truly delight is forged in the furnace of affliction.

But two things are certain: You will face trials, and God will be with you through them. While everything around us is changing so rapidly, let’s return to Psalm 90 and the timeless truths of the God who never changes.

Before the earth took shape, before time began—God was there. From everlasting to everlasting, He is. Yes, our days are short and fleeting.

So what does God want you to do about it?

Dive deep into Psalm 90 with us -and learn how to live fully in light of forever. Because your time is short, but the impact can be eternal.

God is eternal and immutable. We are small and temporary. Our lives are merely a moment – a vapor that appears for a little while and vanishes.

Allowing this truth to sink in will bring perspective and sharpen your focus on how to live, right now, right where you are today!

Open your Bible to Psalm 90 for The Brevity of Me.

Our finite minds often struggle to grasp the truths about God. He is greater, more powerful, and more present than we can comprehend. The God of the universe is infinite and eternal.

That’s why we must anchor ourselves in the Scriptures—and I’m glad we can do that together today. So open your Bibles to Psalm 90 and join us as we explore The Eternality of God!

It’s time for a psalm of calm.

Even in a world of tumult, the real battle is within: How can you calm your heart when inside you're a raging storm? Life’s hardest moments call for more than a quick fix.

Turn with me to Psalm 46, as we seek the power of God’s presence.

In every valley, every victory, God is with us. What a promise!

Psalm 23 has become an anchor in my life – I hope its precious truths serve as a bulwark in yours, too.

Get ready for your cup to overflow with God’s goodness and mercy.

And if you’re in Chicagoland, join me tonight at Rock Bottom for our Saturday Bible study gathering at 6p!

PS  — Thank you for your prayers and support. This week, I have great news to share! God is at work, and we are excited for what’s ahead.

While Psalm 23 has become our familiar comfort and provision, this week is an “in case of emergency, break glass,” don’t-miss message. For a time of tragedy or trial, now or in the future, learn today “What to Do in the Darkest Valley.” You are not alone! You have nothing to fear, you are safe and secure in Savior’s love.

I like to think of Psalm 23 as a psalm of healing. Just consider God’s comfort and nearness when “He makes [you] lie down in green pastures."

This message was preached to our men in sobriety at Rock Bottom, but also with you in mind. Thank you for standing with us and supporting how the Lord is transforming lives here.

I pray you that too experience His healing nearness, as we open His Word together…

I love teaching the men in our sobriety ministry things they’ve never heard before. Take Psalm 23. Whether or not those words are familiar to you, their precious truths are timeless.

For a fuller appreciation of this passage, walk with us through the history of David – the shepherd boy who would one day be Israel’s king. The life-giving verses he penned about the Good Shepherd have become treasure to generations of believers.

Let David’s story and these Scriptures become your treasure too…
