Finding Peace in a Pressured World - Part 5: Responding To The Wounds of An Enemy (Psalm 23:5) God is using the 23rd Psalm to be a powerful teacher for us. We are “Finding Peace In a Pressured World.” This Sunday we are talking about “enemies.” Enemies are those who intend injury and who want the worst for us. The Bible has a lot to say about how to respond to the enemies in our lives. It tells us how God helps us in those times of attack and how God deals with those who intend to do damage to us and others. Our Shepherd can be a great help in these times.

Finding Peace in a Pressured World - Part 4: Which Way Do I Go Now? (Psalm 23:4) As we continue our journey through Psalm 23 we arrive at a powerful section which promises us God’s leadership in our lives. God can and will lead you. You don’t have to panic when things seem to be falling apart. Your Shepherd has made you a promise of His protection.

Finding Peace in a Pressured World - Part 3: Lord, Please Bring Me Back(Psalm 23:3) We continue in our series, “Finding Peace In A Pressured World” going through the famous 23rd Psalm, written by King David in the Old Testament. We are taking our time in this popular chapter and learning how to come to inner peace in God. David said in verse 3 – God Restores My Soul. The Hebrew words literally mean, “He brings me back.” We can get wounded by life. We can get wounded by our own decisions. We can wander away and find ourselves lost. Come as we explore what God says about how to get back home.

Finding Peace in a Pressured World - Part 2: Getting Off My Treadmill (Psalm 23:2) A treadmill during a workout can be very helpful. Living on a treadmill can be very exhausting! There are reasons we habitually pack too much into our day and spend too much for things that don’t really matter. Learning how to come to an internal state of rest and contentment may be one of the most powerful tools we could ever acquire. That is what Pastor Mark’s message this Sunday is about. It’s time to stop living on your treadmill.

Finding Peace in a Pressured World - Part 1: Free Me From My Fear (Psalm 23:1) One of the reasons the 23rd Psalm has been so loved by so many for so long is because it is filled with hope, peace and direction. We live in a world that seems always troubled. Sometimes, even our own “world” is chaotic and pressured. When those times come, how do we come to peace inside even when things outside our control continue to swirl? We’re turning to Psalm 23 for some powerful answers in our new series, “Finding Peace In A Pressured World.”

At a time when people look back on the last year, or look forward to the new year, Associate Pastor Clif Cummings reminds us to be Looking Up. (Psalm 119:116)

Youth Pastor Tim Homa; Today more than ever we are finding ourselves in uncharted waters unable to navigate through the turbulence of life. In the book of Acts Paul, while literally in uncharted waters himself, offers us 4 lifelines to hang on to when we find ourselves in foreign waters, lost and without hope.

CHRISTMAS: FROM BEGINNING TO END, Part 2 – Christmas Into Eternity Future (Revelation 1,5, 7) We usually just think of Christmas as the event which happened over 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem. Certain it did! But, in actuality Christmas also goes back so much further, even before the creation of the world. The end of Christmas travels forward in time close to the end of the world. In this short series in preparation for Christmas and Sunday joining together on December 25 we will look at Christmas from a very different perspective than probably you have ever seen before.

BECAUSE HE’S WORTH IT - Part 3 - Heaven’s Idea of Worship (Revelation 5) Often our worship of God is shaped by how we feel that day or what we think God is worthy of. However we did not invent worship and we do not decide what God is worthy to receive. Fortunately for us, in the scriptures we have glimpses of worship in heaven as angels, elders, and living creatures surround the throne to worship God. Take a look here at what they’re saying, why they’re saying it, and how it changes the way we ought to worship God.
