POPULARITY
There are two questions that we need to ask. First, who/what is the ultimately authority in my life? Second, who am I worshipping with my life? Jesus is King, we don't make Him King, It is up to us to surrender and submit to Him in all areas of my life

Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt ends our year and Advent series, preaching from Psalm 27:8. He focuses on the importance of both desire and discipline in our journey of seeking God. He contrasts various cultural perspectives on desire, from the postmodern focus on the journey itself to Eastern philosophies that view desire as a source of suffering. Yet, the biblical perspective suggests that our desires point us toward God, highlighting a beautiful paradox: even when we find God, the search continues as we seek to deepen that relationship, much like nurturing love in a romantic partnership.Pastor Ben also draws inspiration from Soren Kierkegaard's "The King and the Poor Maiden," to then reflect on the profound love and sacrifice embodied in the Jesus's incarnation. The journey to seek God's face is a pursuit initiated by God but is also an inherently relational endeavor. Through prayer and spiritual awakening, we are called to set our hearts free from lesser pursuits and focus on the transcendent beauty of Jesus' face. In the end, Pastor Ben encourages us to prioritize our spiritual journey, finding infinite satisfaction and vitality in this Christ-centered pursuit.

Gates are often the first thing you see when you approach a castle or a well-guarded facility. Psalm 118, specifically verses 19-24 tells us that only the righteous will enter the Lord's gate. This gate will be rejected, but will ultimately be rejoiced in (pointing us to Jesus as the true gate). As Advent closes, we'll explore five reasons we can rejoice in the King this Christmas season.

How can we know if someone is trustworthy? Better yet, how can we know if God is trustworthy? This is what Psalm 89 wrestles and worships with for over fifty verses. Ultimately, Jesus' kingship proves we can trust the Lord.
Psalm 93 is a psalm about the unshakeable reign of the King. We learn here that the Lord has proclaimed himself as King, ruling and reigning because he is the Creator of everything. We see three aspects of the Lord's reign in these verses. 1. Our God Who Reigns Majestically (vv. 1–2) 2. Our God Who Reigns Powerfully (vv. 3–4) 3. Our God Who Reigns Righteously (v. 5)
We were designed to desire. Desires are not bad, but our problem lies in desiring the wrong things. If we are not desiring God, we will desire something else. In Psalm 45, the sons of Korah draw attention to the beauty, majesty, and power of the king while admonishing the bride to make herself ready to meet him. In understanding the Psalms as anticipating the arrival of the true King in Jesus, we too must ready our hearts to desire the King in all his beauty.
Senior Pastor Damein Schitter begins our Advent series, SEEK: Seeing Everyone Enjoy the King, by preaching from Psalm 8. This series will trace the themes of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation, all interwoven with the power of prayer. In this sermon though, Pastor Damein shows how Psalm 8 illuminates humanity's unique role in reflecting God's glory and discover the deeper questions of our place, predicament, and God's plan.Pastor Damein also explores what it means to live as both priests and kings within creation, as described in biblical texts like Genesis 1 and Psalm 8. He uncovers the psychological and spiritual impacts of living in alignment with God's divine order, using the metaphor of a compass to highlight how easily we go astray. Through candid reflections on modern challenges such as "workism" and consumerism, he also unveils the dangers of disconnecting from our God-given dignity, urging a return to seeing life as a divine gift rather than a series of self-made solutions.In ending, Pastor Damein turns us to the transformative power of prayer, particularly as captured through Psalm 8. Prayer is portrayed as a guiding force, realigning our hearts with God's vision and helping us embrace His presence more fully. In this series, we will be encouraged to shift from a life of constant production to one of receiving with gratitude and wonder. May this Advent season be a time where we embrace God's goodness, rediscover our identity as His beloved child, and prepare our hearts for His kingdom to come.

The Psalms are the hymnbook of God's people. They sang of their longing, questions, laments, and hope as they looked to God for their comfort and deliverance. It was also the hymnbook for Jesus, representing not only his earthly experience but that he was the fulfillment of every anticipation and promise they spoke about. Therefore, the Psalms prepare our hearts in anticipation of the coming King. As Psalms 1-2 open the psalter with the word "happy," can anyone truly be happy? These psalms remind us that even amid hard circumstances it is possible to be happy. Blessing, or happiness, comes from confessing and conforming to the King.
Jesus is King and because he is King, you should respond to him with worship, obedience and holiness.

In Psalm 72 we catch a glimpse of how people flourish when their king reigns with God's justice and righteousness. Not only that but we see a small picture of what it's like to follow Jesus as our eternal King. If you're wondering what following Jesus leads to, this is a good sermon to hear that it leads to life and flourishing under His care. Although there is pain and hardship in this world, we ultimately look forward to the day when all is right and we live completely under the perfect rule of King Jesus.

The Final Victory of the Messianic King (Psalm 21).
This Sunday, we studied Psalm 103. We are meant to hear in this Psalm Jesus' voice calling to us to rejoice in Yahweh, the Lord! Why? Because He loves us unconditionally in Christ. We live in a world where love is hard to find and it is especially hard to keep. People are fickle. Friends are often fickle. What makes it especially challenging is that we are sinners and so, there are often good reasons for why people struggle with us. Psalm 103 is glorious for the simple reason – God is glorious. He is unlike anyone else. Psalm 103:10 reads, “He does not deal with us according to our sin, nor repay us according to our iniquities.” That should stun us. He pursued us when others wouldn't. He rescued us from our guilt and shame when we deserved judgment and condemnation. God's love (hesed) is as “high as the heavens are above the earth” (Psalm 103:11). This Sunday's message is called “The Unfailing Love of the King.” We are going to celebrate the Lord's Supper together and this is a great passage to prepare our hearts to take communion as God's people. Come and join us this Sunday and let's bless the Lord with all our being. In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor waterbrooke.church

Psalm 45 is not simply a song about Solomon, it is a song about the True King of all Kings! Christ is the King Eternal and he is worthy. All earthly, all national, all political, all social allegiances, affections, and attentions being subjected to our first allegiance, affection and attention, which is our King and his Kingdom!
In Psalm 45 we learn that Jesus is the perfect King. [NOTE: This recording has several gaps due to technical issues.]
This Sunday Andy Keppel will be leading us through Psalm 31. Here's the first part of the text to help you prepare: In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! 2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! 3 For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake, you lead me and guide me; 4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge. 5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me O LORD, faithful God.

Why are people so drawn to royalty? What fascinates us about the rich, famous, and royalty-like celebrities and athletes? Psalm 2 tells us that all of naturally long for a king. The problem is that apart from Christ, we rebel against God's royalty. Join is as we continue our series on Finding HOPE in the Psalms.
In this sermon, Pastor Kody preaches that we worship a King who is holy in His reign, rule, and relationships.
Waterbrooke Family, This Sunday, we discussed persevering as a believer in a broken and a hostile world. Jesus says these words in Matthew's gospel: “But the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13). He says this is in the context of teaching his disciples that the mission of God will happen in an increasingly hostile world: “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to the nations, and then the end will come.” How is your faith? Are you feeling like throwing in the towel? Are you weak and weary? This Sunday's psalm is a great one. It's Psalm 110 and it is the most quoted Psalm in the entire New Testament. That might say something about how crucial it is to our lives and to Christ's mission. Our hope in perseverance is not our power to persevere but in Christ's power to hold us and to keep us to the end. This is truly great hope and encouragement. Our sermon is called “Jesus: The Priest King.” In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor

Waterbrooke Family, In Psalm 72, we have a song written by Solomon. It is the last psalm in a collection (Books 1 and 2 of the Psalms) that is considered to be largely psalms written by David. Psalm 72:20 reads, “The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.” What's beautiful about this psalm is that we get the heartbeat of the son of David for the kingdom. Solomon prays for God's blessing on his kingdom but he does so because of a deep heart of compassion for the people and the nations. We are clearly meant to see not simply Solomon's heart but the heart of the great Son of David, Jesus, in this song. This would be the Old Testament version of “The Lord's Prayer.” Come as we see the heartbeat of the King as he prays for us. Come learn how much we are loved and how determined the King is to see His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Our sermon is called, The Praying King… and praise God, He is praying for us! See you Sunday! In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor

Reading poetry can be difficult. When that poetry alludes to future events, it can be even more vexing. Yet the New Testament quotes the Psalms more than any other Old Testament book. So we seek to understand how these poetic songs foreshadow the coming of Christ and fill us with hope amidst our struggles. Questions: Do you see the limitations of viewing God's Word as simply an example to imitate or a law to follow? Is Jesus in his sleeping (i.e. death) and his waking again (i.e. resurrection) your hope when feeling under attack? Is Jesus more precious to you today as the True and Better King?

Waterbrooke Family, This Sunday's message is from Psalm 18 and is called “The Exultant King.” Psalm 18 is written by King David when God has finally established his kingdom and defeated all his enemies. It is recorded near the end of David's life in 2 Samuel 22. There is no doubt that David is blown away by the abundant goodness and unfailing love of God towards him throughout his life. There were numerous dark and difficult times. Times of brokenness and betrayal. Yet, it feels so good to rest and to look back at the amazing love of God in his life through it all. The king is so blown away that He wants to sing God's praises to the ends of the earth! Exultant love for God drives the Christian to make much of God. Come as we marvel with David at how good God has been to us and have our spiritual hearts set aflame again to sing of His love forever! See you Sunday and bring a friend! In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor
Have you ever felt God is taking a long time to answer your prayer? Does it feel like sometimes your prayers have gone no higher than the ceiling? Join us this Sunday as we walk through Psalm 13 and see how Jesus, Our Compassionate King is truly with us during these times. In Christ, Bruce Washington
What gives inspiration to the Psalms? Is it David? Is it us? Now that the veil (2 Cor. 3:13–16) has been lifted, how might we read these texts with the clarity that Christ provides? In so doing, we see it's not just David or we who at times feel forsaken, but Jesus who has been utterly forsaken for our sake. He has not hidden himself in times of trouble but bore the full weight of it, not our sin in part, but the whole! Questions How does this psalm sing God's grace over us?
