New Song Presbyterian

The third Psalm plants us firmly in a time and place of confusion, fear, and danger. But it's also a model of how to talk with God at the start of a day that feels scary, pleading for God to be with us and make right the things that are wrong all around us. It's timely and meaningful for us to consider this week as we see and feel confusion, fear, and danger all around us.

Sometimes prayer can seem really complicated, but the simple heart of prayer is communion with God.

When we feel alone and ashamed, prayer can feel like the last thing we know how to do. Psalm 22 gives us words to cry out to God during those times. More than that, it gives us a direct line to Jesus, who prayed these very words on the cross. As we enter into the season of Lent, listen in as we ask God to teach us to pray when we feel alone and ashamed.

To teach us to pray, God has given us the gift of the Psalms. But we need to know how to use them. This week, we will use Psalm 2 as a case study for helping us to use the Psalms well, as we ask God to teach us to pray. Listen in and join us!

I've yet to meet a Christian who feels entirely comfortable with their prayer life. The most common thing I hear: I know it's important but I'm not praying as much as I'd like to. But I also believe there is a deep, God-given reason that we are all still drawn to wrestle about prayer. So, we're starting a new sermon series at New Song. We'll use a wide selection of the Psalms, starting with the first one, as we ask God to "Teach us To Pray." Listen in and join us!

Jesus' first followers had the same question we often do: why didn't Jesus just stay on earth to help us? If he left, where did he go, what's he doing now, and what does that mean for us? Listen in as we consider two profoundly important implications of Jesus' return to heaven.

It’s not hard to describe what kind of church we wouldn’t want to be part of; but can we picture the kind of church that we actually want to be? We've spent four weeks talking about what we do as a church. Now, we will put it all together and envision the church we want to be - joining all that God is doing to make things new in us and around us. Listen in and join us!

Mercy is the work of making life better for others when things are hard; sharing mercy will stretch us, cost us… and grow us, into the kind of people, the kind of church, we were always mean to be. Mercy will bring us face to face with Jesus and His great mercy for us. Listen in as we dig into the beauty of the mercy of God, for us and through us.

Jesus liked to use images we could understand, so He often talked about His Kingdom as a big meal. That's why our church is committed to hospitality, to creating spaces where people can belong, especially by sharing meals together. This Sunday, we'll dive into why and how we practice hospitality as a church family. Hope you can listen in and learn!
