    Summer Psalms: "The King of Glory"

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 4, 2025 30:58


    In this powerful message from the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Ben Marshall walks through Psalm 24, inviting us to consider the character of God through the lens of King David's worship. From the opening reminder that “The earth is the Lord's,” we're called to recognize God as Creator—the one who brings order from chaos. But the psalm doesn't stop there. Pastor Ben explores what it means to approach God with clean hands and a pure heart, showing us that God is also Redeemer, offering grace and salvation not through our effort, but through surrender. Finally, we're led to lift our heads and hearts in worship to the King of Glory—Jesus Christ—who is strong, mighty in battle, and worthy of all praise. Whether in the stillness of personal reflection or the corporate celebration of worship, this message challenges us to seek God daily, submit to His will, and welcome Him as King over every part of our lives.

    Summer Psalms: "The Compassionate Heart of God"

    In this message from the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Jeff explores Psalm 103 and the deep, unwavering compassion of God. Through a gripping personal story of a highway accident and the mixed responses of bystanders, we're reminded that human compassion can be unpredictable—but God's compassion never fails. Pastor Jeff unpacks three powerful truths from the psalm: God's tender mercy renews us, His faithful love secures our future, and His sovereign kindness inspires praise. Drawing from David's words, listeners are called to remember God's past faithfulness, respond with wholehearted praise, and personally embrace the grace that transforms hearts and secures eternity. This message is both a challenge and a comfort for anyone seeking hope, renewal, and a deeper relationship with the God whose love never lets go.

    Summer Psalms: "Lakeside Service"

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 23, 2025 16:00


    In this special outdoor baptism service, Pastor Jeff brings a powerful word from Psalm 63, reminding us that even when everything looks perfect on the outside, our souls can still be dry and parched. Drawing from David's honest cry for God in the desert, Jeff shows how spiritual thirst is not something to ignore—it's a gift that can lead us to real abundance. Through stories both humorous and sobering, from drained lakes to headless cow rumors, we're invited to examine what's beneath the surface of our lives. What are we reaching for when our souls are dry? And are we ready to stop pretending and truly run after God? If you've been feeling empty or distant, this episode is an invitation to lean into that thirst and find your way back to the only source that satisfies.

    Summer Psalms: "Overcoming Fear"

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 14, 2025 38:20


    What do you do when fear creeps in and threatens to overwhelm your peace? In this episode, we dive into Psalm 27, where King David shows us what it means to face fear with unwavering faith. From hostile enemies to personal anxieties, David's life was filled with reasons to be afraid—yet he chose to live confidently in God, pursue His presence, call out in prayer, and wait patiently for His deliverance. With both humor and honesty, this message invites us to shift our perspective, letting our theology inform our psychology, and discovering how faith—not fear—can define our story.

    Summer Psalms: "From Fret To Fulfillment"

    Why does it sometimes seem like those who reject God are thriving while the faithful struggle? In this powerful message, Pastor Ross Owens walks us through Psalm 37, uncovering biblical wisdom for those wrestling with envy, comparison, and the apparent prosperity of the wicked. With personal testimony and rich Scriptural insight, Ross invites listeners to shift their focus from frustration to fulfillment—by trusting in the Lord, doing good, delighting in His presence, and committing fully to His ways. This episode is a timely encouragement for anyone longing to live with eternal purpose in a world full of distractions.
