In Psalm 124, David considers what it would have been like for Israel if God had not been on their side to defend them. In our lives, we know that we can trust the power and goodness of God to carry us in the face of hardship--and even death.

In Psalm 16, scripture reminds us of the joy and the hope that we have in Jesus. In today's message, Pastor Phil encourages us to consider the salvation, guidance, joy and eternal pleasures promised to us by God.

In Psalm 1, we are promised that the righteous man is like a tree planted by the water, and that the wicked will not prosper. But what do we do when we seem to see the wicked thriving, and times are hard for those who are doing the right thing? In today's message, Pastor John studies Psalm 37, which takes a close look at this very question.

Psalm 111:2 says, "Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them." (ESV) In today's message, Caleb Bryant looks at Psalm 111 and 112 and teaches us that the study of God's word is of great spiritual necessity in our Christian walk--and that it yields great spiritual reward.

In Psalm 25, verses 15-22, God's word gives us a roadmap for trusting in God when we are in anguish. Fix your eyes on Jesus; give your troubles to Him; pray to Him. He knows what you're experiencing, and He's there to walk with you.

In Psalm 25, we see a plea for God to be our guide. In today's message, Pastor Phil encourages us to consider, do we find ourselves today at a point where we feel we lost? Jesus promises in His word to give us rest. And who is on the throne of our lives? We can trust God and we need to trust God enough to surrender to His will as our Lord.

In today's message, Pastor Phil explores how Psalm 118 prophesied about Jesus, and how Jesus fulfilled these scriptures.

On Send Sunday, churches all around the globe are encouraged to consider their part in the work of sending out laborers into the harvest field. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies Acts 13:1-3 as a model of a church being led by the Spirit and then sending out Paul and Barnabas. We are reminded that we are each called to fulfill the Great Commission, that we all need to be willing to go whereve...

In today's Student Celebration Sunday message, Jarrod Swartz encourages us to consider what examples we follow, and what examples we set.

When Israel was about to enter the Promised Land, Moses took the time to remind them of their covenant with God--if they obeyed God in the Promised Land, they would experience life and blessings; but if they spurned God, they would experience curses and death. We know from scripture that Israel did not follow God's commandments, and were eventually exiled from their land. But when we look at Israe...

In Deuteronomy 26, Moses gives instructions to the nation of Israel for the giving of tithes. The New Testament doesn't tell believers a specific amount to give, but in this Old Testament passage, we see a number of principles which are affirmed by the rest of scripture. Everything we have is already the Lord's, God wants our best, and God blesses our giving.

Our beliefs drive our behaviors. Preaching from Deuteronomy 10, Pastor Phil shows us that if we know Who God Is and what He has done, then we should respond accordingly.

Deuteronomy 10:12-13 says, "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?" (NIV) To fear the Lord is a command with rich meaning. In today's message, Pas...

In Deuteronomy 7, we read that God chose the nation of Israel because He loved them. In today's message, Pastor Phil explores what the love of God means--and shows us how that love is demonstrated by Christ's work on the cross.

In Deuteronomy 6:4-9, we find the Shemah, a passage of scripture which has remained of central importance for the nation of Israel throughout their history. In today's message, Pastor Andy studies four key lessons from the Shemah: that the LORD is one, that we are to love the Lord, that we are to keep His commands on our hearts, and that we are to impress His commands on our children.

In Deuteronomy 8, Moses tells the nation of Israel that they are about to enter a land of great abundance. After 40 years of wandering in the desert and relying on God in a time of great need, the nation is about to enjoy a time of great prosperity. But Moses warns them not to forget God once all of their needs are met. In today's message, Pastor John explores how prosperity can pull away at our i...

In today's sermon, Pastor Phil introduces the book of Deuteronomy, which contains messages from Moses, nearing the end of his life, to the nation of Israel. In Deuteronomy 4, Moses tells Israel to listen to the laws he is about to teach, and reminds them of recent events in their history--the giving of the 10 commandments, and the destruction of those who followed Baal. From this chapter, Pastor P...

In today's message, Pastor Phil examines the accounts in the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua about how God used the nation of Israel to execute judgement on many of the surrounding nations. From these accounts, we are reminded of the justice of God and the mercy of God, and we are given a chance to remember that God is good.

In today's message, Pastor Phil looks at the account of Balaam, who was called by king Balaak to pronounce a curse on the nation of Israel. But God would not allow Balaam to speak a curse, and instead required him to speak blessings on Israel.

In their final year of wandering in the wilderness, having been denied passage through Edom, the national of Israel had to take the long way around the country. When they complained against God and Moses, God sent snakes, and many of the people were killed. But when the nation confessed their sin, God told Moses to make a bronze snake and put it on a pole so that anyone who looked at the snake cou...

In Numbers 20, we read how Moses disobeyed God near the end of Israel's wandering in the wilderness when he struck a rock to bring out water instead of speaking to it as God instructed. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies this text to show us where things went wrong--and reminds us that we all need a Mediator.

Numbers 16 and 17 records a rebellion against Moses, led by Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Ultimately this rebellion was against God, and we see in this story that those who rebelled were driven by a spirit of criticism. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies this account from the book of Numbers, and reminds us that when see the sins committed by the nation of Israel back then, we can often see the s...

In Numbers 13 and 14, we read how the nation of Israel was about to go into the Promised Land, but gave into fear and rejected God's command when they heard the report of the spies sent into the land. Then, once God told them to turn back, and that their generation would die in the wilderness, they regretted their decision, and tried to take the land without God's approval--and here, they failed m...

In today's message, Larry High studies Galatians 3:10-14, and how Christ became a curse for us. When we come together for communion, we remind ourselves of Jesus' work on the cross, because it can be too easy to forget the sin and wrath from which we have been saved, and the price which was paid for our salvation.
