Psalms
Worship The Lord as You See His Handiwork
Trust the Lord in the day of trouble.
This week we dive into Psalm 20 with the BIG IDEA: Trust the Lord in the Day of Trouble.
- Understand your trouble (vv. 1)
- Ask boldly (vv. 1-5)
- Wait confidently (vv. 6-9).
Listen to the skies and the Scriptures.
As we continue our journey through the Psalms, Pastor Matt illuminates how Psalm 19 teaches us to Listen to the skies and the Scriptures.
Celebrate the Lord when he delivers you.
Pray when your enemies surround you.
Pastor Matt is back to unpack Psalm 17 and the BIG IDEA: Pray when your enemies surround you.
How do we do that? When the Devil, the flesh, or, especially, the world tempt you distrust God’s grace and turn from his way:
1. Ask for justice (vv. 1-5)
2. Ask for protection (vv. 6-9)
3. Ask for change (vv. 10-14)
4. Ask with hope (vv. 15)

You CAN Be Happy
In another rare treat we hear from Pastor Tim (Well, “just Tim who is a pastor”) in a brilliant sermon on a topic that’s of interest to practically anyone who is human; our BIG IDEA: “You CAN Be Happy!”
We all ask the same question: HOW?
1. Don’t envy the wicked (v1-2)
2. Trust God with your desires (v3)
3. Delight in God (v4)
God Speaks

Come to the Lord for Complete Cleansing.
In reflection upon our last year in the Gospel of John, Pastor Matt walks us through Psalm 51 and the BIG IDEA: Come to the Lord for complete cleansing. Now, how do we do that? Psalm guides us through four:
1. Approach the Lord on the basis of His love and mercy
2. Admit your sin honestly to the Lord
3. Ask the Lord to renew and restore your heart
4. Live in the joy of your salvation
