Sermons episodes:

• August 15, 2021God is the Judge: It's Going to Be Okay

  Pastor Nate brings the message, "God Is the Judge: It’s Going to Be Okay.”

  As we turn to Psalm 7, David is again facing perilous times. In his cry to

  the Lord, David finds encouragement in the truth that God is a Refuge and

  Judge. That’s an interesting pair to put together as you consider

  safety…and eternal justice. There is a lot of moral turbulence going on in

  this world, but God’s perspective, Christians are going to be okay…and in

  all reality, much better than “okay.”

  so God loves us, His children, and brings discipline into our lives. In

  to bring it to an end. It is a penitential psalm that will help us

  understand God and place our hope in Him.

  For the next few weeks we will be studying various Psalms. They are filled

  with personal emotions that teach us how to express our hearts to God. In

  Psalm 5 David pours out his heart to God as people spread lies that effect

  him deeply. We then find how God can be trusted when others are deceptive.

  look at a man who stood where we stand, held his ground, and won the praise

  of God and kings. This message is a word of encouragement and hope for

  distressing times.

  Pastor Nate brings the message, "What to Expect from Pastors” from 1 Peter

  5:1-4. Since Pentecost, God has graciously gathered His people into local

  between pastors and the congregation. How should shepherds conduct

  themselves in respect to the flock? And, what is the motivation for their

  move away from worldly practices even if it means suffering and rejection.

  In our society today we are experiencing the cultural agenda to promote

  unbiblical sexuality and Christians are often challenged by the following

  tension: how do we reject the practices and cultural agenda of unbiblical

  sexuality, yet love individuals as God would have us?
