Have you ever reached a point where your own choices left you feeling empty, exposed, and desperately in need of restoration? In God Restores the Broken, Pastor David Menard unpacks Psalm 51 through the raw, honest story behind it—David’s catastrophic fall in 2 Samuel 11–12. With gripping clarity, he walks through David’s temptation, the ignored warning signs, the downward spiral of sin, and the crushing inner collapse that followed. But the heart of the message shines through David’s confession in Psalm 51: a man utterly broken, falling on the mercy, lovingkindness, and tender compassion of God—who stands ready not only to forgive but to restore.

This message invites you not merely to listen, but to enter the story—to see your own need for grace and the God who runs toward the repentant. Pastor David shows how Psalm 51 confronts us, comforts us, and leads us back to joy: exposing our sin, calling us into truth, and reminding us that God alone can wash, renew, and recreate what we cannot fix. If you’ve been carrying guilt, pretending everything is fine, or longing to regain the closeness with God you once knew, this message will stir your heart. Don’t wait—let the urgency and beauty of David’s prayer draw you into the same restoration God still offers today.

Have you ever looked around and wondered why people who reject God seem to have it all—while those who love Him often struggle? In “Why Do the Wicked Prosper?” Pastor David Menard takes us through Psalm 73, where Asaph, a worship leader and prophet of Israel, wrestles with this same question. Caught between faith and frustration, Asaph envies the wealthy and questions God’s justice—until he enters God’s sanctuary and sees the truth. Through vivid storytelling and deep biblical insight, Pastor David reveals how Asaph’s journey from envy to intimacy, from confusion to clarity, transforms his entire perspective on life, wealth, and what it truly means to be blessed.

Listen in and let this message draw you closer to the heart of God. Pastor David invites us to face our own struggles with envy and self-pity and to discover how worship replaces comparison with contentment. You’ll be challenged to see your trials as part of God’s refining work and encouraged to trust His eternal purpose even when life feels unfair. In the end, Psalm 73 reminds us that when God Himself becomes our treasure, envy dies—and worship begins.

What if the Shepherd you’ve been searching for has been pursuing you all along? In The Great Shepherd from Pastor David Menard, Psalm 23 comes alive as more than a familiar passage—it becomes a vivid portrait of Jesus Himself. Pastor David unveils the “cross, the crook, and the crown” of King Jesus revealed through Psalms 22, 23, and 24—showing Christ as our suffering King, our shepherding King, and our soon-coming sovereign King. Through powerful imagery and heartfelt exposition, he reminds us that the Lord is not only our provider but our personal guide—leading us beside still waters, restoring our souls, and shaping our lives for His glory.

This message invites you to slow down, breathe, and rest in the tender care of the One who knows you best. Pastor David shows how Psalm 23 speaks directly into our restless, weary hearts—assuring us that goodness and mercy are not merely following us but pursuing us every day of our lives. If you’ve ever felt lost, burdened, or unsure where God is leading, this teaching will renew your confidence in the Great Shepherd who never leaves His sheep. Listen in and discover the peace, purpose, and promise that come from walking closely with the Shepherd King.

1 Thessalonians 1, Real Faith That Speaks for Itself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FXOom_lNTU

Have you ever watched all your best plans fall apart and wondered what God was doing in the middle of it? In Real Faith That Speaks for Itself, Pastor David Menard unpacks 1 Thessalonians 1 with powerful insight into how God works through closed doors, unexpected detours, and even suffering to accomplish His purposes. Tracing Paul’s second missionary journey—from frustration and failure to the miraculous birth of a thriving church—Pastor David reveals what true, Spirit-led faith looks like. Through this vivid look at the early believers in Thessalonica, we see how genuine faith produces a life that works, loves, and endures through every trial.

Listen in as Pastor David challenges and encourages you to live with a faith that truly speaks for itself. This message invites you to examine how your own life reflects Jesus when times are hard and to rediscover the hope and strength that come from trusting God’s hand in every circumstance. As Paul taught the Thessalonians church, real faith is active—it works through love, labors with purpose, and perseveres with unshakable hope in Christ’s return. Don’t miss this reminder that God often does His greatest work when our plans seem to fall apart—because that’s when real faith shines the brightest.

Have you ever found yourself doing all the right “Christian things”—serving, giving, showing up—yet realizing your heart isn’t as on fire for Jesus as it once was? In The Missing Piece, Pastor Greg Stier delivers a passionate message from Revelation 2 that confronts this very drift. Speaking to the church in Ephesus, Jesus commended their hard work and sound doctrine but warned, “You have left your first love.” Through vivid storytelling, personal honesty, and deep biblical insight, Pastor Greg unpacks what it means to have it all yet miss the one thing that matters most: an all-consuming love for Christ that fuels everything else.

This message invites you to rediscover the passion that once filled your heart when you first met Jesus. As Pastor Greg challenges us to remember, repent, and return to our first love, he shows how rekindling that affection transforms not only our worship and work but also our witness. The Missing Piece isn’t just a sermon—it’s a call to spiritual renewal that reminds us love for Jesus is the heartbeat of authentic faith. Don’t settle for busyness without burning love—listen in and let God reignite your heart today.

Have you ever wondered if God can truly be trusted—especially when life falls apart? In Rejoicing in God’s Faithfulness, Pastor JC Cooper walks through Psalm 105, showing how the unwavering reliability of God is not a theory but a proven reality throughout history. From Abraham’s covenant to Joseph’s trials and Israel’s deliverance, this psalm paints a breathtaking picture of a God who keeps every promise. Cooper reminds us that God’s faithfulness is the foundation for all trust—whether in our marriages, parenting, or everyday struggles—and that seeking the Lord is an active pursuit, not a passive hope.

This message invites you to look back at God’s track record so you can face the present with confidence. As you listen, you will be challenged to trust God’s hand even in hardship, encouraged by His preservation in seasons of weakness, and reminded that His faithfulness fuels our faith. Rejoicing in God’s Faithfulness is more than a study—it is a call to worship, a reason to rejoice, and a reminder that the same God who kept His promises to Abraham still keeps them to you today.

What do you do when God seems silent—when you cry out, but heaven does not answer? In The Fifth Gospel by Pastor David Menard, the mystery of suffering and divine silence is laid bare through Psalm 22, a passage written a thousand years before the cross yet describing Jesus’ crucifixion in astonishing detail. This psalm—called “the fifth gospel” by the early church—reveals the agony and triumph of Christ not through an observer’s eyes, but through His own. Pastor David invites listeners into the very heart of the Messiah, unveiling how prophecy, written long before crucifixion even existed, proves the truth of Scripture and the depth of God’s love.

This message is more than a study of ancient prophecy—it is a revelation meant to awaken faith. As Pastor David unfolds the vivid imagery of Psalm 22, you will see that Jesus was forsaken so that you would never be. You will be challenged to trust God when you cannot see Him, to live by faith rather than sight, and to rest in the assurance that His plan of salvation has always been perfect and on time. Listen to The Fifth Gospel today and discover how the cross, foretold a millennium before it occurred, still speaks with power to your life right now.
