  • The Book of Psalms: ”What Can I Give?”

    April 23, 2023

    Lead Pastor Dan Acker

     
    "The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance." -C.S. Lewis
     
    Psalm 116: 1-4
    1 John 5:14-15
     
    “We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.” -Peter Kreeft

    “The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” -Timothy Keller
     
    Romans 5:6
     
    “Whenever we have to praise God, what do we do? We simply say what He is! ‘You are this and You are that.’ There is no other praise. We cannot fetch anything from anywhere else and bring it to God; the praises of God are simply the facts about Himself! If you want to praise the Lord Jesus Christ, tell the people about Him.” -Charles Spurgeon
     
    Psalm 116: 12-19
     
    (NIV)

  • The Book of Psalms: ”The Path to Full and Everlasting Joy”

    April 16, 2023

    Associate Pastor Eric Burch

     

    David has found reconciliation with God through his acts of repentance and confession.

    David knows that God will bring him, through life and death into everlasting joy because God was his only refuge, his sovereign Lord, his supreme treasure, and his trusted councilor and the same can be true for use today.

    And finally, David’s confidence is due to the knowledge of the future atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross; a work we know was fulfilled.

  • The Book of Psalms; ”Why I Worship”

    March 12, 2023

    Lead Pastor Dan Acker

     
    AW TOZER: “I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.”

    CS LEWIS: "The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance."
     
    Because God has INVITED me to worship Him
     
    Psalm 95:1-2 (NIV)
     
    Psalm 95:1-2 (The Message)
     
    Because God is LORD of all.
     
    Psalm 95:3-7 (NIV)
     
    Psalm 95:3-5 (The Message)
     
    FRANCIS CHAN: “Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words can’t contain Him. Isn’t it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
     
    Because God SPEAKS and I want to hear what he is saying 
     
    Psalm 95:7-11 (NIV)
     
    NT WRIGHT: “Put it this way: if your idea of God, if your idea of the salvation offered in Christ, is vague or remote, your idea of worship will be fuzzy and ill-formed. The closer you get to the truth, the clearer becomes the beauty, and the more you will find worship welling up within you. That’s why theology and worship belong together. The one isn’t just a headtrip; the other isn’t just emotion.”
     
    John 4:21-24 (NIV)

    “Psalms, then, are not just a matchless primer of teaching but a medicine chest for the heart and the best possible guide for practical living.” -Timothy Keller
     
    Psalm 99:1-3
     
    God’s holiness is expressed through his MERCY to you.
