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)

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
