When headlines shake us, Psalm 121 anchors us. Pastor Eric walks through this Song of Ascents to show where real help comes from—not from the hills, but from the Lord who made them. He keeps His people without sleeping, guards them day and night, and finishes the good work He starts.

Scripture: Psalm 121; Ephesians 5:16; Acts 7–8; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; 1 Kings 18; Psalm 23; Isaiah 43:1–2; Romans 8:31–39; Philippians 1:6; Revelation 5
Series: Songs of Ascents
Bottom Line: The Lord is your help and your keeper—today and forever.

Psalm 120 opens the Songs of Ascents—a playlist for God’s people on their journey to Jerusalem. This first song doesn’t begin with joy but with honesty: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me.”In this message, Pastor Eric Kuykendall reminds us:Calling out to God in distress is biblical.Expecting God to hear and answer is biblical.Lies and hostility surround us, but God’s truth and peace remain.As we walk through the Songs of Ascents together, Psalm 120 sets the tone: worship isn’t about pretending everything is fine—it’s about bringing our real selves before God and trusting Him.📖 Scripture: Psalm 120👤 Speaker: Dr. Eric P.

You Already Have An A+
Guest Pastor Drew Witt

Grace is more than forgiveness—it’s the power of God at work in us. In this message, Guest Pastor Drew Witt explains how grace is not permission to keep living in sin, but the power to become who God has called us to be.

Walking through Ephesians 2 and other key passages, we see that grace transforms our lives: not only saving us for eternity, but empowering us to live as new creations in Christ today.

If you’re in Christ, you already have an A+.

• Stay alert

• Stand firm in the faith

• Live courageously

• Be made strong

• Do everything in love

This message closes out our Hot Topics series with a reminder that true strength is found in Christ and expressed through sacrificial love.

Online sports betting has exploded across America—$147 billion in wagers were placed in 2024 alone. While the Bible doesn’t explicitly forbid gambling, it does warn us that not everything “lawful” is actually helpful (1 Corinthians 6:12).In this message, Pastor Eric Kuykendall unpacks the dangers of online sports gambling and how Christians can faithfully respond. From addiction and debt to family harm and poor stewardship, the risks are real. But the good news? God’s Word points us to freedom. By saying no to what dominates us, we can say yes to accountability, discipleship, better stewardship, and the mercy that comes through confession.📖 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:12

Last summer, Christianity Today published an article titled, “Dallas Mourns a Summer of Pastor Scandals”—highlighting eight pastors in North Texas who stepped down from megachurches due to moral failures, including two nationally known leaders. It raised questions that strike at the heart of church culture today:

How did pastors become celebrities?

Why do we follow them so closely?

And what does God have to say about it?

In this powerful sermon from our Hot Topics series, Pastor Eric Kuykendall walks through 1 Samuel 8 to show what happens when we reject the King for a king like the nations. He also shares a hopeful reminder: Jesus isn’t just a good example—He’s the Good Shepherd, and He knows you by name.

Drawing from Hebrews 12:1–3, this message explores what it means to lay aside every weight, run with endurance, and fix our eyes on Jesus.

What do you do when you’re exhausted, full of doubts, or wondering if God even cares?

In this powerful and personal message, Luke shares his own experience battling senioritis, spiritual burnout, and fear of the unknown. Turning to Acts 17, he unpacks two life-changing truths:

✅ God is sovereign over the details of our lives.
✅ God is near, even when He feels far.

If you’ve ever wondered “Is God really in control?” or “Does God care about me?” — this sermon will remind you of the God who proved His love on the cross and invites you to live free in His power and presence.
