"My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear... O Lord, all my longing is before you" (Psalm 38:4, 9).

Psalm 38 is one of the Bible's great psalms of lament, where David gives us an accurate picture of how we should view and respond to sin in our lives. Our sin against God has far greater effects than we could even imagine. We get a glimpse of how sin makes us feel, what it does to our relationships, and how it is we can find relief from it.

Join us for this sermon as we learn how to bring our burdens to the Lord and find grace in the One who is our salvation.

“I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of the Lord… then you shall live… But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear… you shall surely perish… Therefore choose life, that you may live” (Dt 30:15-19). Obey the Lord and live; disobey and perish. Those were Moses’s final words of welcome and warning to the Israelites to conclude the book of Deuteronomy (which we just finished together last month!). In this sermon, King David takes up this same theme in Psalm 37, reminding us that “evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land” (v9). Join us for this sermon for encouragement in your daily walk with the Lord!

“How do I live life to the fullest?” It’s a question rooted in the heart of every human being. Companies rake in billions of dollars each year - in fields ranging from health & wellness to financial investing, travel & leisure to technology & innovation - promising to deliver us an answer - the answer - to our heart’s deep longing for joy and fulfillment. Jesus himself spoke to this yearning when he claimed, “I have come that [you] may have life and have it abundantly” (Jn 10:10). But a whole millennium before Jesus, King David illuminated the path to true meaning and happiness for us in Psalm 36: “With you [, O Lord,] is the fountain of life” (v9). Come discover life to the fullest in this sermon, and worship the “Fountain of Life” together with us!

After the Sermon: Psalm 35 by West Hills Church

Live long enough, and you’ll find yourself in real danger at some point in life. Under threat from a serious physical ailment or a life-altering relational rift, a circumstantial crisis or facing the severe consequences of your own sin; this world is full of peril. But where do we turn in our time of need? As we return to the book of Psalms and chapter 35 specifically, David reminds us exactly where we ought to bring all our troubles: straight to the Lord. As the apostle Peter puts it in the New Testament, we can “cast all our cares on Him, because He cares for you” (1 Pet 5:7). And, David adds, because the Lord is faithful to deliver us from evil. Join us for this sermon as we cry out in petition and praise to the Rock of our salvation.

After the Sermon: Deuteronomy 32:48-34:12 by West Hills Church

For four books of the Bible now (Exodus-Deuteronomy), we have journeyed from a bushel basket in Goshen to the royal palace in Egypt, from the desert of Midian to the wilderness of the Arabah, from the top of Mt. Sinai to the top of Mt. Nebo, following every step of the way one central figure: Moses. But this Sunday as we conclude the book of Deuteronomy, Moses’s story comes to a close. As we have learned from his words and example these past 134 chapters now, so too in these final two chapters do we learn from Moses how to “finish well” the race of faith that God has set before each of us. Join us for this sermon for the grand finale of Deuteronomy (and the Torah!)!

After the Sermon: Deuteronomy 31:1-32:47 by West Hills Church

Under changing leadership and transforming cultures, how can God's people pass the faith from one generation to the next? As we near the conclusion of Deuteronomy, we see God's people facing the uncertainty of leadership change from Moses to Joshua and confrontation with enemies in Canaan. More importantly, we see Yahweh, the God of Israel, provide for every need so that the people of God may pass the faith from generation to generation.
