Psalm 71 - “You Have Been My Hope” (Day 2) Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Returning to Psalm 71, we encounter our author looking backward to garner the strength to move forward in his later years. As he reflects on his life, both the good and the bad, he considers the source of his hope. The legacy left behind were decades of dependency and countless examples of God's protection and presence, and for that, he offers up praise.

Psalm 71 - “I Have Taken” (Day 1) Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

Persevering faith and steadfast endurance characterize Psalm 71, our passage for this week's study. Its confident words come from an aging author reflecting on his current distress through the lens of a lifelong faith, declaring God's heart is to provide refuge and rescue to those who call on His name.

Carson Goslee - "What Matters Most?" | Summer Sabbath, Week 9 - Message Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

In a unanimously tired culture, why aren’t we better at rest? There are a lot of things that come easy to us, but faith takes work. Every day we face tension for control. The busier we become, the more control we desire. Our obsession with control generates more worry than certainty. When control becomes our goal, faith is no longer our strategy; instability becomes our reality. Stillness and rest both lead to a confrontation with this hectic reality. We find a rested, full, and free life when cultivating an instinctive faith.

Psalm 67 - “What You're Known For” (Day 5) Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

What do you hope defines the Church you call home? What would be the prayer you utter for your community? What do you wish the people of your town would say when talking about your Church? Is it something like, "Oh yeah... that's the community who's reliant on prayer, focused on serving, making a difference in hurting places, welcoming everyone, or displaying love through their actions." A reputation like that requires something from each one of us and it gets built one small step of obedience and faith at a time.

Psalm 67 - “Lean In” (Day 4) Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

Every day, all around us, we are confronted with brokenness. We see needs in our neighborhood, our city, and our world. We may even feel a nudge to get involved, do something and take action, but fear, doubt, and inadequacy win out. Some of us allow our convenience, comfort, and complacency to justify our inactivity. We shrink back, turn away, and hope someone else will rise to the occasion. But, Christ asks you and me to play a vital part in healing our culture.

Psalm 67 - “For The World” (Day 3) Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

This week's time inside Psalm 67 has challenged us to look outside ourselves by setting our sights on the world around us. The author pours his soul out to God in prayer, not for personal blessings, but for a day when all nations will praise God's name. In that gap between the prayer and its culmination, we reside and play a part in its fulfillment. Today, we want to consider how our message to the world is a heart and life transformed by Christ's love.

Psalm 67 - “For The World” (Day 2) Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

The seven short verses of Psalm 67 pack quite a punch, jolting us from our tendency to think of faith through an individualistic lens. Rather than a consumer or critic, it invites us to be a contributor to the work God is actively doing. Instead of pondering what the Church can do for us, it challenges us to consider how we can be the Church in the places we call home as well as to our hurting and lost world.

Psalm 67 - “Bless Us” (Day 1) Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

In our divided and jaded world, Psalm 67 brings us hope while giving us responsibility for its restoration. Amid our selfish, me-focused culture, the beautiful liturgy that is Psalm 67 challenges us to take our attention off ourselves and set our focus outward. These words sung for centuries among different faith traditions and various languages across the globe are a melody of mission, a tune for togetherness, and a hymn dedicated to His name glorified among the nations.

Sabbath Sunday Jul 31, 2022

Show notes

This Sunday, July 31st, our church will practice a “SABBATH SUNDAY.” On this day, we will not gather together at our church building. Instead, we will use this time to intentionally rest and practice what we have learned through our Summer Sabbath series.

Our hope is that “Sabbath Sunday” will be a day for our church to collectively take a deep breath, cease striving, and rest in God’s provision. We encourage you to invite your family or friends to deliberately set apart a portion of this Sunday for Sabbath.

To assist you in your time, we will make resources available to you, including a short “Sabbath Sunday” video that you can watch, this podcast, and an additional video made specifically for kids, and a Sabbath Suggestions Guide for your day!

Blessings.

Psalm 63 - “I Cling To You” (Day 5) Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

The words of Psalm 63, this prayer from David, contains both moments of praise and meditations. We can appreciate its contents and insight by reading it. However, we can experience and unlock its powerful truths when we pray along with it, and that’s what we want to do today. This episode will be intentionally different in its format and flow. As we read a portion of Psalm 63 together (verses 1-8), we will pause at different times to meditate on and pray through those words.
