A Mighty Fortress

Pastor Darren Wiebe – AM Sermon

When we are faced with trials, no matter how trivial, we must remember that the Lord is a solid rock and a place of refuge for those who turn to Him. Knowing then, that God will not allow us to be moved, what do we have to fear?

When the Word is Your Delight (Part 2)

Pastor Mat Tarr – PM Sermon

Scripture: Psalm 1

In the opening Psalm of the Psalter, the psalmist contrasts how significantly different the way of the righteous is from the way of the wicked.

A Prayer of Trust in Trouble

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon

Scripture: Psalm 4

Christians everywhere have experienced slander, misrepresentation, and suffering, and although the historical context of Psalm 4 is unknown, it is clear that David is deeply distressed by those who have turned against him. Nevertheless, David doesn’t despair, but turns to God and then calls the rebellious to consider their ways and repent.

A Theology of Sleep

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon

Scripture: Psalm 3

David’s life is in complete chaos all around him; he is at one of the lowest points in his life. He is being pursued by thousands to be killed at the command of his very own son Absalom. What’s more? They even believe that they are on God’s side. So how is it that David can respond so confidently that he would sleep so soundly under such circumstances?

Add. Ref.: 2 Samuel 7 & 14

Worship the King

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon

Scripture: Psalm 2

This Psalm manifests the greatness of God in a way nowhere else seen in the entire Bible. It presents the foolish rebellious hearts of men, but all the summation of their rebellion against God invokes from Him a peculiar response: He laughs, and then commands that all should repent and bow to the true King.

Desperately Deep Thinking

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon

Scripture: Psalm 39

At King David’s most desperate of moments, he comes to contemplate deep things about life and his position before God. David considered his own life to be nothing but a mere vapor. Instead of this reality, he looked forward to the true reality behind reality: that is, eternity. And so, David throws himself at the Lord’s feet and yields all to the mercy of God.
