Unprocessed grief doesn't just go away—it corrodes the soul over time. Too many of us were never taught how to grieve loss or process deep disappointment. Instead, we adapt by becoming distant, bitter, or detached from God and the people we love.

But suffering doesn't have to push you away from God. Psalm 42 gives us a practical roadmap for lament, showing how life’s hardest seasons can actually anchor us deeper in Christ. Join us this Sunday as we wrap up our two-part series on Psalm 42.

In this powerful contrast, we see extravagant love in the woman who anoints Jesus, and cold betrayal in Judas. As Jesus approaches his suffering, we are called to examine our own hearts—do they draw near in worship or turn away in self-interest?

All of us have experienced loss and disappointment. We have buried loved ones. We live with shattered dreams and unmet expectations. Our lives have not turned out the way we had hoped, leaving us disoriented and confused. When these waves hit, our natural instinct is to bury our pain and put on a brave face. After all, "the show must go on." But Psalm 42 gives us a completely different blueprint for processing grief. In this Sunday’s sermon, we are going to look at the raw, unfiltered honesty of a psalmist who is drowning in sorrow. We will learn how to navigate the dark valleys of life so that our hearts come out softer and our souls closer to our Lord.

Let’s be honest: it doesn't take much to trigger our anxiety these days. Life is fragile and any number of looming threats can keep us up late at night. This Sunday, we are stepping into Psalm 27 which helps us see how David responded to the many dangers and fears that threatened his life. In this Psalm, he shows us the one thing that enables us to stay calm, confident, and faithful in an anxious world.

Fear is a reality we never outgrow. From the smallest child to the mature adult, fear lurks around every corner, percolating endlessly in the back of our minds. Left to itself, our imaginations map out worst-case scenarios for our health, our finances, our family, and future. When fear takes the driver’s seat, hope and joy shrink. This is why there are few psalms that are as treasured and beloved as Psalm 121. The words, "I lift up my eyes towards the mountains, where does my help come from?" echos in every human heart. Join us this Sunday as we look to the One who walks with us and protects us in our going and coming.

This Sunday we will take a look at the front door of the book of Psalms, Psalm 1. Psalm 1 contrasts two ways to live—the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. One way leads to flourishing and fruitfulness. The other leads to emptiness and judgment. 

In a world full of competing voices telling us where to find happiness and fulfillment, Psalm 1 points us to where true wisdom and thriving are found. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to live a life that is deeply rooted and spiritually fruitful.

This Sunday we continue our summer series in the Psalms. We will take one last look at the mysterious mention of the character Melchizedek in Psalm 110:4. Before Psalm 110, Melchizedek has only appeared once in the scriptures, and even that appearance was mysterious (Genesis 14). Melchizedek was the king of Salem, and priest to the most high God (Gen 14:18). For someone so mysterious, why is he so important? How will understanding the mystery of Melchizedek help our faith sing along with Psalm 110?

This Sunday we begin our summer series in the Psalms. The Psalms hold out such promise for a deep spiritual reflection, yet often when we read them they leave us asking, "What does this even mean?" Join us this Sunday as we examine the most quoted Psalm by Jesus and the writers of the New Testament.

In this brief passage, Paul seems to contradict himself by telling Christians to stop working and then a few verses later to start working. This passage provides both both rest as well as purpose for the Christian.

So many people live, thinking that God is angry with them or disappointed in them. We've all been treated that way by different people in our lives--with family, friends, and at work. 

But God is so different. He's nothing like that. God is enthusiastically FOR you. Even when we fail, God shows up with grace and power. His presence brings comfort AND strength so we can live the abundant life Jesus promises. That life makes a real difference in the world and it makes us truly happy. As we experience God showing up differently for us, it makes us show up differently for others.
