In week two of the Grief series, Pastor Tim Dunn shares a message titled "Observing Grief"—a deep and honest look at how we experience and respond to seasons of sorrow. Using Psalm 23 and other comforting Scriptures, this sermon explores how grief isn't linear but more like a winding valley with unexpected turns. Drawing from 1 Samuel and 2 Corinthians 12, Pastor Dunn explores how God often develops leaders in the hidden places before revealing them to the world. If you've ever felt overlooked, discouraged, or uncertain about your calling, this message will encourage you to embrace the process, trust God's timing, and understand that great leaders are forged in the caves before they wear the crowns.Through stories of David facing Goliath, Elisha's vision of angelic armies, and the promises of God's protection, Pastor Dunn reminds us that no battle we face is greater than the power of the Lord of Hosts. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, outnumbered, or uncertain, this message will encourage you to trust in Jehovah Sabaoth—the God who goes before you and fights for you.

Meditation is an ancient spiritual practice that can transform our relationship with God's Word. Using Psalm 1 as our guide, we learn that meditation is more than just a tool for knowledge—it's a way to connect deeply with God's presence. Whether we're experiencing spiritual dryness or seeking a closer walk with God, this practice helps move His Word from our heads to our hearts.   Title: Day & Night Series: Bring Out the Book Text: Psalm 1 Speaker: Jake Wright

In the second episode of "Children As Arrows," Duane Sheriff teaches a biblical perspective on raising children, emphasizing the importance of viewing them as gifts from God and preparing them for their purpose in life. Using Psalm 27, we explore the metaphor of children as arrows. This imagery illustrates our role as parents in shaping, aiming, and eventually releasing our children into the world. The arrow's shaft represents the time we have with our children, the tip symbolizes their God-given purpose, and the feathers signify the guiding principles we instill. This perspective encourages us to view parenting as a sacred responsibility, shifting our focus from merely caretaking to intentional preparation. Are we actively shaping our children's character and faith, preparing them for their unique calling and destiny?

New Year's resolutions often set us up for disappointment by focusing on our efforts. The same can be true for Christians resolving to be "better" through more prayer, Bible study, or church attendance. This year, instead of self-dependent resolutions, we need ones that rely on God. Using Psalm 135, Rich Crosby offers an alternative vision for spiritual growth: allowing, celebrating, and expecting God to be God.Support the show

Today, at our Annual Thanksgiving & Testimony Service, we were blessed to receive the ministry of our Senior Pastor, Pastor Femi Paul, who returned from a well-deserved vacation. He delivered a powerful sermon titled "BUT AS FOR ME..." with the lead scripture Jonah 2:8-10 (CEB): "Those who worship vain idols forsake their true loyalty. But me, I will offer a sacrifice to you with a voice of thanks. That which I have promised, I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the Lord!" Drawing from Jonah 2:9b-10 (TLB), Pastor Femi emphasized the transformative power of thanksgiving, noting how Jonah's gratitude led to God commanding the fish to release him. He highlighted that true deliverance comes from the Lord, and thanking God in all circumstances releases divine orders that fulfill His promises. Using Psalm 50:14 (NKJV): "Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High!" Pastor Femi encouraged the church to honour God with heartfelt gratitude and faithfulness, knowing that He alone secures our deliverance and breakthroughs.

In this sermon titled "Give The World Her Song," Greg at Venice Presbyterian Church focuses on the deep connection between music and Christian faith. Speaking from the pulpit, he reflects on his last visit a year and a half ago and recent events like a severe weather-induced power outage at his home in Seattle. Greg mentions his new book collaboration, "As the Deer," with artist Greg Beecham. Using Psalm 137 as a foundation, Greg highlights the historical significance of song in worship, noting that Christianity uniquely emphasizes music compared to other religions. He shares a personal story from Thanksgiving 1996 about meeting Chris, connecting it to the importance of music in building relationships and understanding. Greg addresses the challenges modern Christian communities face, suggesting they view themselves as living in exile and adapt their message to resonate in a secular world, citing "Postcards from Babylon" by Brian Zahnd. He emphasizes the need to use cultural and spiritual references to communicate effectively today. A poignant anecdote demonstrates how music can foster connections in even the most challenging settings. Greg concludes with a call to action for Christians to live out their faith through love, acceptance, and song. He closes with the Quaker hymn "How Can I Keep from Singing," reinforcing the joy and necessity of sharing one's faith. In summary, Greg's sermon encourages Christians to use music as a vital expression of their faith, bringing light and hope to a world that often feels like exile.

When life falls apart, how do you continue to worship? This message delves into the often-overlooked biblical practice of lament, showing how it creates space for healing and hope. Using Psalm 13, we explore David's raw prayers and his journey through despair toward trust in God's unfailing love. Lament is more than venting frustrations—it's an act of faith, a cry for restoration, and an expression of deep trust in God. Learn how to use lament to process life's hardest moments and transform them into moments of authentic worship. Whether your struggle is loss, illness, or uncertainty, this message provides practical ways to bring your pain before God and rediscover His goodness. || Scripture || Psalm 13 Lamentations 3 Job 3:11 Matthew 27:46

Using Psalm 19 as our framework, and referencing various other Wisdom Psalms, we build a strong definition of biblical wisdom.

Hello and welcome again to Living Hope Church. We are located in Historical Williamsburg, VA. Join us this week as Guest Speaker, Dr. Navon Lindo invites everyone to embark on a journey of seeking God's presence and reflecting His glory in the world. Using Psalm 27 as a guide, he explores the transformative power of encountering God in the "secret place" and the profound impact it has on our lives and our ability to shine God's light in the world.

Using Psalm 96, the sermon emphasizes that worship isn't just a ritual but a heart posture towards God, characterized by constant praise for His deeds, nature, and future judgments. It underscores that God deserves our highest praise for His creation, salvation, and majesty. The speaker urges the congregation to continually express their admiration for God, akin to writing 5-star reviews, and to worship Him not just in song but through every aspect of their lives.

In today's sermon, Pastor Ross introduced the new series "Heart of Worship," which explores worship through the Psalms. He explained that worship is about expressing deep devotion and adoration for God, not just through singing but with our whole lives. Using Psalm 27, he highlighted five facets of worship: seeking God's protection, offering praise, praying, desiring God's presence, and following God's path.

Using Psalm 13 as a jump off point Mick helps us to understand the Biblical language and rhythm of lament as a tool to navigate the brokenness of our lives and the disconnect we can feel from God in it.

More than any other book in the Bible, the Psalms teach us how to be human. They reveal to us that our humanity is not a flaw, but the very means by which we encounter God. Using Psalm 25, Caro invites us to consider how we might carry the unfinishedness of our lives in a way that helps us to remain open to God's grace.

This Sunday, professor, speaker, and author, Dr. Duffy Robbins, will introduce us to a Biblical way to lament what is wrong in our world and in us. Using Psalm 13 as a guide, Duffy will show us how to pray our laments and even write our own psalm of lament.

Pastor Chris opened his sermon by addressing the broader topic of current world events, particularly focusing on the Middle East's tensions. He emphasized the importance of viewing global issues through a biblical lens. Using Psalm 2 as a basis, he highlighted God's sovereignty over nations and the futility of human arrogance in opposing Him. Pastor Chris stressed the significance of seeking refuge in God's Son amidst worldly turmoil. He discussed Israel's pivotal role in biblical prophecy and emphasized God's enduring covenant with the Jewish people. While acknowledging complexities in the region, he defended Israel's right to exist and pointed out the existential threats it faces from hostile groups like Hamas and Iran. Pastor Chris reminded listeners of God's promise to bless those who support Israel and emphasized the biblical mandate to stand with the Jewish people. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Chris encouraged trust in God's sovereignty and the peace found in Jesus amidst global uncertainties. He cautioned against overly speculative interpretations of current events in light of biblical prophecy, urging listeners to focus on the timeless truths of Scripture. Ultimately, he emphasized the need for Christians to remain grounded in faith and to extend compassion and support to those affected by conflicts in the Middle East.

Using Psalm 136, Kirk Adams emphasizes the corporate nature of the Psalm, urging people to give thanks to the Lord as His goodness and mercy endure forever. Even though Christians experience struggles, difficulties, and hardships, Kirk reminds us that our hope lies in Jesus, who succeeded in the wilderness on our behalf. The message concludes with an invitation to remember God's goodness and thank Him for the many blessings he has given us!

Mike Goldsworthy - While many of us recognize that cultivating a posture of gratitude is beneficial for us and our lives, it isn't our natural response and can oftentimes feel like a tiring burden to try and live into. Using Psalm 126 as a guide, we'll consider what it looks like to reframe the way we narrate and interpret our past stories, the implications that has for how we imagine our future and live with gratitude in the present. Finally, Mike offers us a simple practice to try this week in order to cultivate gratitude as a more normative and less burdensom posture.

The early church fathers spoke of "the book of creation." Just as a book contains the words of the author, creation itself is a book written by God. Reality is pregnant with meaning. It is a personal expression of a personal God. Everything has meaning. Everything points us to Him. Using Psalm 19 as our guide, we will explore how to read the book of creation so that this ancient vision of life gets into us and, through us, brings wonder, gratitude, and peace to our modern world.

We continued our DISTINCTIVES series this week with a message from Vine member Ron Ragsdale about our distinctive of being biblically-rooted. Using Psalm 1 and other scriptures, Ron shares about what it means for The Vine to be biblically-rooted.

Join me as we explore how to let go of anxiety, allowing it to melt away, while immersing ourselves in the comforting promises of Psalm 27. I wholeheartedly believe that embracing these truths can exchange our anxiety for unshakable confidence and genuine peace in God's faithful presence.   Free Dream Session: Application Form  Follow Us On IG: https://www.instagram.com/blackoutstobreakthroughs/

I believe in the promises of God. I've seen God move in miraculous ways in Scripture and in my own life. But I also know from experience that sometimes things don't turn out how I prayed for or in the timing I had hoped for. Benjamin William Hastings and Blessing Offor actually address this in their song, "That's The Thing About Praise." Join me on the podcast as we look closely at a church family who didn't get the rescue they probably wanted but remained faithful. I can imagine the only way through it for them was a hallelujah. In this episode, I discuss the following: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture – this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Make a list Read the whole letter Pray Scripture The Episode Guide for this week's podcast Considering the limitations of sermons that don't prepare you to endure affliction Recognizing that when we sing "the only way through it is a hallelujah," it means we are removing the focus from our situation to worship God Areas of Scripture you might study as inspired by the bridge of the song Matthew 6 - seek first Matthew 17 - faith moves mountains 2 Chronicles 20 - the battle was one through praise Joshua 6 - the walls fell down The Thessalonians received the gospel in suffering and held true to the gospel in suffering - 1 Thessalonians 1:1-7 Making a list of the characteristics of the Thessalonian church The culture-changing effect of the gospel on the Thessalonian church - 1 Thessalonians 1:8-10 An especially brutal kind of affliction -- the personal kind - 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 What Paul didn't say to encourage the Thessalonian church - 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5 Praise tucked into Paul's prayer for the Thessalonian church - 1 Thessalonians 3:9-12 Using Psalm 27 to pray Scripture during times of affliction   He deserves our hallelujah, and everything else fades away because we are giving our praise to Yahweh. We are extolling the greatness--the excellence--of our great God.

Feeling Stuck in Your Prayer Life?  Using Psalm 136 as a Model to Get Unstuck: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 136   Today we take a look at the redemptive thread woven throughout Israel's history through the eyes of the psalmist.  This passage can be a model for us when we feel stuck in prayer, as we praise God for the way He has worked in our own lives.  We can also look forward to the redemptive work Jesus accomplished on the cross.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Do you sometimes get stuck in your prayer life?  Try to take the patterns we see in Psalm 136 as a model for your own prayer life to get you started.  Remember that it's not a formula, but an idea to get you started.  The goal of prayer is relationship.  Write out your response to Him, He longs to spend time with you, friend! Today's Key Verse: Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:26   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.  Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.  Purchase the She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus Bible Study : https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew.

In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

Pastor Steve Teter of Living Faith Church in Franklin, WV preaches on doubt. Using Psalm 50:10 as a backdrop, Steve helps us see that there are no easy answers. Doubt is not unbelief and is not sinful in itself. Yet, it can lead to unbelief. When we walk through suffering, it is difficult to suspend judgement of the one who is in control and supposed to be good. Ultimately, we must look to the cross to see Christ who demonstrated ultimate sovereignty and mercy.

Is there a movie playing in your mind? This past weekend, guest minister Dennis Burke talked about the Movie in Your Mind. He said we need to be “dialed into” God's presence, in order to be in that place where we are able to hear, receive, and experience the presence of God. It all depends on what kind of movie we allow to play in our minds. Using Psalm 77 as his text, he taught us about a man named Asaph and how we can navigate through tough times with powerful yet easy to understand tools of the kingdom of God.  Welcome and thank you for joining us!

New Year's Day is often the only time people pause to think about what has happened in the past year and make plans for the year to come. Using Psalm 71 as an example, Chris Sherrod talks about how we should reflect on God's attributes and what He has done, use our mouths to talk about what our hearts are excited about, and build a hunger for God in the hearts of the younger generation.

This is part two of our Advent series. Here's part one: https://apple.co/3hahjQIWe've been looking for peace in all the wrong places. What if the true peace we desire is found in our position as a child of God?Today's episode explores the second theme of Advent: Peace. Using Psalm 23 as our guide, we explore the first movement of the spiritual life, orientation. Although orientation seems hard to find in our world, the scriptures invite us into a position of orientation that is not dependent on location or situation. We will look at the origin of peace in the presence of God as our shepherd, and the promise that “He is ours” and “We are his.” We will look to the fulfillment of scripture that peace or wholeness is what Christ brings as the Good Shepherd, Jehovah Rohi. Finally, we will use these truths to practice grounding ourselves in peace, as we seek to orient ourselves to God's closeness, compassion, voice, and leading.

This is a meditation using three verses of Psalm 51- a meditation for your heart space to connect with your own breath & the divine breath. Focusing the breath in the heart space allowing the movement of the Spirit to dust off the heart creating a right spirit by way of The Spirit. And, connecting to the joy of receiving God's help over and over again. We are truly sustained by God's bountiful Spirit.
