A message from the series “Ascending the Ancient Path: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent.” As complex people in a confusing world, we find it easy to fluctuate between extremes of pride (I have it all figured out!) and panic (I don’t know anything at all!). This week, Psalm 131 calls us to calm and quiet our own souls, even in the middle of the great mysteries of life.

A message from the series “Ascending the Ancient Path: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent.” The abundance of self-help books and life hacks in our world is a testimony to the fact our lives are not quite right and that we desire a better way forward. But like any problem, before we jump to solutions we need to understand what’s gone wrong. Join us Sunday as we seek to understand the problem, and, in the process, discover a blueprint for life far more transcendent and helpful than the latest New York Times bestseller.

A message from the series “Ascending the Ancient Path: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent.” This week, we see how three great endeavors of human existence — significance, security, and restful sleep — all fall under God’s providence. No matter how diligently we work, how carefully we protect, how intensely we seek a way forward, our striving is meaningless “unless the Lord” shows up for us. But the Lord love to give to his beloved.

A message from the series “Ascending the Ancient Path: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent.” Laughter is essential to Christian faith. This week, we see the importance of celebrating the goodness God brings in our lives: “the Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.” These gospel memories strengthen us for tougher times that are sure to come, and they increase our faith in God’s promise that joy has the final word in our lives.

A message from the series “Ascending the Ancient Path: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent.” As we journey through life we will regularly encounter great difficulty, which sometimes leads us to question our faith and doubt God. In these moments we often turn away from God, but when we turn towards God in difficulty and doubt we often find fertile soil for our faith to grow. Join us Sunday as we learn from David’s experience how to seek the Lord in times of pain and suffering.

A message from the series “Ascending the Ancient Path: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent.” In contrast to our instant-everything world, spiritual growth is a slow, winding journey on the long road to a God-given destination. Christians often use the metaphor of a journey to describe what it’s like to move toward maturity in life with God. In ancient times, the people of God would literally travel together on the road to Jerusalem for worship. Since the city was at the highest elevation in the region, they ascended on this pilgrimage path. Along the way, they sang psalms which became known as the Songs of Ascent. Join us this summer as we travel through these ancient songs to find time-tested direction for our own journey with God and his people.

A message from the series “Chasing Contentment: What Jesus Said About Worry, Money, and Image.” Do you believe you have a Heavenly Father who cares for you but still find yourself anxious and discontent?

A message from the series “Chasing Contentment: What Jesus Said About Worry, Money, and Image.” Where do you go with your worry? Scripture tells us to go to God, “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). We find freedom from our striving for significance, image, and external validation by cultivating personal, soul-strengthening life with God. This week, we will explore how we can deepen our relationship with the Lord.
