Join us as we explore what Psalm 88 teaches us about prayer, suffering, faith, and the hope we have in Jesus. MUSIC PLAYLIST -- https://tinyurl.com/fkzpkjwh SERMON PODCAST --…
The Summer of Psalms continues this Sunday as we look at a beautiful song that celebrates Creation. In Psalm 104, we’re invited to “wake up our souls” and bless the Lord by looking closely at the world He has made.

Psalm 53 confronts the functional atheism within every human heart and invites us to choose the wisdom of following God.

It's our second to last sermon in the series! We get to talk about a room that all of us spend A LOT of time in, yet we never think about it with our theological glasses on. It is probably the most important room to think theologically about because it shapes us and stresses us in so many ways.

Moreover, this physical space represents the spiritual tendency toward excessive recreation and the "working for the weekend" mentality. This mindset, rooted in early industrial economic philosophy, suggests that our primary…
