Pastor Phill preaches this Sunday (December 18, 2022) on Psalm 64. The 64th sermon in the Psalm series, the psalm teaches us how we are in a war, that the greatest weapon we have is our words, and the way God wins is surprising. The Word of God, Jesus Christ claims victory by dying! God in the flesh experiences death, and three days later, rises from the dead, conquering sin and death. The Scripture readings from our worship service were from Genesis 3:1-13, 15, Matthew 2:13-18, Revelation 22:20-21. . Discussion Questions: What would it look like to follow David's example in how we pray to God? Do we have enemies? How can we get enemies in a way that doesn't honor God? How can we have enemies in a way that doesn't honor God? What did Jesus mean that He did not come to bring peace? How does this impact how we live our lives? Do you believe that we are in a war? If not, what do you think contributes to not believing that you and I are in a war? What does 1 Cor 15 teach us about what our enemy is? How does it teach us how to engage with that enemy? What will happen if we don't have faith in God when we die? How does the answer to this question impact our daily lives? How are words the most powerful weapon of the war we are in? How do we learn what we value most? In what ways do our words reveal what is in our heart? How does our sin reveal a misunderstanding and application of God's word? How does James 3 teach us the importance of our words and how we should use our words? How are the greatest moments and the worst moments in life connected with words? How is God's word the arrow that wins the battle of words? How have you seen God's word impact the words in your life? How do we know that those who seem to be getting away with injustice will not get away with it? What is the way of winning the war of our lives? How is the way different than what the world says are the ways to win? What does it look like to receive the salvation that has already been won? What does it look like in our daily lives?

Pastor Phill preaches this Sunday (December 11, 2022) on Psalm 63. The 63rd sermon in the Psalm series, pastor Phill explains what David does in the wilderness is determined by his deepest delight. Like David, we should seek God first in our times of testing. Jesus Christ demonstrates this in the Garden of Gethsemane, relying on his steadfast love of his Father in heaven all the way unto his death on the cross. The Scripture readings from our worship service were from Luke 4:1-13, Matthew 1:21, Isaiah 25:1-9, and John 4:13-14. Discussion Questions: What do you think contributes to people believing that church is a waste of time? How does the church experience transcendence when they gather together? What makes a human worth anything? How does what David does in the wilderness determine what is his deepest delight? How does our actions reveal what our worth and value is and where it comes from? What is the purpose of the wilderness for David? How does God use the wilderness in David's life? What is the first priority in your life? How does your life reflect that? How does this psalm connect with Psalm 1? How does this impact our understanding of our passage? What does it look like to cling to God and meditate on Him no matter what we are experiencing? How does David respond to being persecuted? What does this teach us on how we respond amidst difficulty? How does our actions reveal what we desire most? If others in our life were to answer the question of who/what we desire most, what would they say? Do you talk to God the way David does? What do you think contributes to that? What does it look like for our soul to thirst and cling to God? How can we considerate it pure joy when we face trials of many kinds? How do our circumstances reveal what is taking place in our heart? How does the gospel provide the greatest experiences in this life? How have you seen it in your life or others? How do we know whether or not we are settling for the glories of this world or not? What are the things you reach for the quickest to fill your soul when life is difficult? What do you think are the reasons we go to other things outside God and the church? How did Jesus reveal that God the Father's love was most valuable to him? What does it look like to follow God's example? How do we rely upon God to love God more than anything else? How do we press on and continue even amidst going to other glories outside of God? What does it look like? How does John 4 assist our understanding of Psalm 63? What does it look like to meditate on God day and night?

Pastor Phill preaches this Sunday (November 20, 2022) on Psalm 60. The 60th sermon in the Psalm series, pastor Phill teaches us that Psalm 60 exists to instruct God's people on how to deal with defeat. The instructions are to diagnose the problem (v. 1-5), discern the promise (v. 6-8), and depend on the powers, i.e. the amazing and sufficient power of God (9-12). Fulfilling verse 5, the Beloved Son Jesus Christ delivered and saved us from our sins! The Scripture readings from our worship service were from 1 Corinthians 15:50-57, 2 Samuel 8:9-14, and 1 Corinthians 15:58. Discussion Questions: How does God discipline His people when they don't follow His commands? How does Psalm 60 instruct God's people to deal with defeat? What would this look like in daily life? Where else does God's word direct and instruct God's people to deal with defeat? How does God instruct God's people when they experience rejection and/or feel as though they are rejected? What does God's word instruct in our relationship with alcohol consumption? Where does our victory come from? What stands in our way of having God be the one that people/we go to take in the battle with us? How does pride impact our engagement with God and having Him be the one that goes into battle with us daily? What does it look like to have God be the center point and the one we go to for help regularly? Do you or others in your life think that God is angry with you or them and therefore doesn't love you? What do you think contributes to that? How have you seen in the word and in yours or others lives where God is angry with His people and shows love at the same time? How does God engage with His people? How does knowing that God has fulfilled His promises in the past impact our interactions and prayer with God on future promises and present promises are true and will be/are fulfilled? What would be an indication in our life that we aren't clinging to the promises of God? What are indications that we are discerning the promises of God accurately or inaccurately? How do we learn what are the promises of God? how does God reveal His character in the promises? How does God want us to engage with His promises? How do we depend upon the powers of God? how do we identify what the powers of God are? How can we identify the ways that pride is a problem in our lives? What ways can it be displayed? How are we to engage with God when we identify pride as an issue for us? How does accepting the free gift of God's grace through Jesus help us or others with our pride and/or our struggles to think depressingly about ourselves? Do you meditate on the cross in a balanced way? How would you know? How can you find out if you are meditating on the cross in a balanced way? What does it look like to live a life of humility? What contributes to not living a life of humility? What does a person's life look like when they believe and live their lives in light of the fact that God loves them?

Pastor Phill preaches this Sunday (November 13, 2022) on Psalm 59. The 59th sermon in the Psalm series, pastor Phill's big idea this week is that when we see God triumph over David's enemies, we too will sing of God's strength over our enemies. The structure of this psalm, the stories referred to within the psalm, and the Holy Spirit's strategy with this psalm all affirm the big idea. Ultimately, Jesus Christ, the sinless person and true David, fulfilled the essence of Psalm 59 through his sacrificial death on the cross, and we can now sing over Jesus' deliverance of us! The Scripture readings from our worship service were from Matthew 27:24-31, 1 Samuel 19:11-17, and Romans 8:38-39. Discussion Questions: How have you seen in God's word Him triumphing over the enemies of this world and then result in praise of God's people over God's strength? What elements of David's story in 1 Samuel are helpful in understanding of God's triumph over enemies and resulting in praise of God's strength? What can we learn from David on ways to pray about enemies of God in the nations? What is the importance in our lives as God's followers to know that God is stronger and triumphs over evil and enemies of God? How does this psalm point to the salvation of God's people throughout the word and His people? How does knowing this psalm provide direction to understanding more of who Jesus is? How does this psalm impact us in how we engage with God and who He is? And engage with Jesus and who he is? How does this passage help us when engaging with the Spirit? How does this passage impact our daily lives in how we engage with others (brothers and sisters) or unbelievers? How does this passage impact our daily lives in how we live in our daily lives? Are there any areas in your life that you are worshiping or focusing on praising more often or more intensely than your relationship with God? How does salvation and singing God's praises impact your focus and changing your focus from your heart looking idols or other gifts of this world to meet your desires to have transcendence? How does praising God regularly impact your relationship with God and impact your relationship with others? God's glory is displayed through our lives in what ways? In what ways can we live our lives that affect us seeing God's glory displayed through us?

Pastor Phill preaches this Sunday (October 30, 2022) on Psalm 57. The 57th sermon in the Psalm series, pastor Phill's big idea this week is that God has a plan for David, and this plan includes intense pain and severe persecution, but will end with the people's praise. We learn in the same way David endured pain in God's plan for him, Jesus Christ endured greater pain within God's salvific plan for humanity, a truth we can praise God in today! The Scripture readings from our worship service were from John 12:27-36, 1 Samuel 22:1-5, Revelation 5:11-13. Discussion Questions: Do you put your hope in God when troubles come? If so, what has contributed to help you to come to God? if not, what contributes to you not coming to God when you experience troubles? Does God show in other places in Scripture that God's plan is painful? What were the results of those passages? How does Scripture point to the end of suffering? How can we rest in those truths? Does God have a plan for His people? What have we seen in His word in the plan? How does God's plans involve suffering? How do we know that God's plan for David involved suffering? How do we know that it wasn't just difficult things that happened? How does David have confidence in God amidst His suffering? What contributes to how David can know that he can trust God and His word? Have you ever heard a promise from God and though in the process get discouraged that the promise is not fulfilled? How did you respond to this discouragement? Have you experienced seeing God's people either in the word or in your life those who get discouraged but continue to go to God and have hope in God? How did Israel get discouraged in exile? How did Israel have hope in God? what did God do when Israel was discouraged? How did David submit to God's plan? How does his example impact us? How does God's plan for David reflect God's plan for Jesus? How is Psalm 57 for you? How does the plan of Jesus lead God's people to praise? How can God's people recognize whether or not they are living for their own personal glorifies instead of God's glory? How does living and experiencing the glory of God impact the purposes of God's children through their daily lives? How does God help His people not live for their own glory but instead live for God's? What does it look like?

David reminds us of how an infinite and all-powerful God also intimately knows and loves His people. God's Word became flesh, Jesus Christ, who after facing his own death, transforms believers today! The Scripture readings from our worship service were from 2 Corinthians 1:3-11, 1 Samuel 21:10-15, and Jude 24-25.. Discussion Questions: How have songs (or a particular song) been impactful in your walk with the Lord? What does the story of David and Goliath teach us about who God is in 1 Samuel? How have you seen God's word change your or others' fear into faith and faithfulness? How have you seen in times when people could be hurt by others either in the word or in yours or others' live seen that there needs to be no need to fear but trust God?

Pastor Phill encourages us to not read Psalm 55 alone, but to read it collectively with Psalms 52-55 and to read it within its historical context in the life of David and to read it canonically within the context of the whole bible. However, most importantly we should not read, sing, or use Psalm 55 alone, but we should learn to cast our burdens upon the Lord with one another and with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ read and sang this Psalm, but he also fulfilled its message when he was betrayed by his disciples and entrusted himself to his Father.
