We're preaching hard just north of Boston. May our good Father, in His grace and by His Spirit, use these words to build the kingdom of His Son by bringing many to repentance and faith.
How should I follow Jesus in this broken and sinful world? If good works don’t save me, should I try to do them? This Sunday, as Paul ends his letter to Titus, we’ll see that believing and living in Christ means that we’ll also live lives devoted to good works. Our good works won’t save us, but we are certainly called to do them as humble heirs in God’s kingdom.

Following Jesus in an ever-changing, disorienting, and broken world can sometimes seem impossible. We don’t know what to do. We may not know what to say. Life can be confusing in the moment, but this week we’ll hear that the grace of God not only saves us but also trains us.
Paul sent Titus to Crete to establish elders. Titus was also with this young church to ensure that healthy gospel doctrine was being preached and lived. Good doctrine without gospel living discredits the gospel, dishonors God, and destroys lives. But, faith that produces godly living promotes Jesus and his mission to save us and those who don’t yet believe.
As the Apostle Paul left Titus in Crete to help the church, he assigned him an important task: appoint elders. We may wonder: Why? Who? What will they do? Fortunately, as we dive deeper into Paul’s letter, we’ll find answers to those questions and see that Paul believed faithful elders faithfully preaching would lead to faithful people
Have you ever wondered how your belief in God affects your life? This Sunday, as we kick off our new sermon series, Believe and Live, we’ll hear that our faith and knowledge of God does not merely inform how we live. Instead, our believing drives our living
Titus 1
Listen for an update on all things Seven Mile for this month!
Psalm 103
Whether reading the psalms that tells us *Bless the Lord* or singing the words "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" in the Doxology, it's clear that God is due some response from us. He's due our blessing. We know He's worthy, but how can we bless Him? How do we get there? How can we cultivate hearts that bless the Lord? This Sunday, we'll see that we bless the Lord as we rememb...
We live in a world in which some people do evil to others and yet go unpunished. Faced with this reality, we may doubt that God is just. In Psalm 94, the psalmist reassures us that He is and shows us how to live in light of this truth.
Psalm 97
What gives you joy? What makes you rejoice?
Our tendency is to think being in control or getting to call the shots brings joy, but our Psalm this week tells us differently. It tells us that true joy and rejoicing result from the Lord's reign over all.
Picture the Israelites singing the song of worship in Psalm 87. It says that Zion, otherwise known as Jerusalem, is God’s special place for all peoples, from the hardest to the furthest. It may have been difficult, or frustrating, or baffling, maybe even encouraging or … all of the above.
The Truth of this Psalm is Good News to all of us, but it also challenges us as the people of God to reach out to others together as one...

Psalm 90
Do you ever stop and think about how eternal and unshakable our God is? Do you ever stop and think about how short and fragile life really is in comparison? This Sunday, we’ll do both. Psalm 90 invites us to face the weakness we all know -- our mortality -- not with despair, but with great hope in the everlasting God.
Psalm 73
Do you feel lost and forgotten when those against God seem to prosper? We grow weary and lose focus of God when evil seems to win. This Sunday we will see that fixing our eyes on God reveals a greater truth -- that God determines our fate. When the world fails we can place our trust in the One who never will.
Psalm 92 invites us to praise God for his steadfast love and faithfulness. Together, we’ll see how true flourishing comes not from chasing our own happiness, but from resting in the God who rules on high forever in Christ. Join us as we discover the joy and strength found in worshiping the Lord who plants us to bear fruit for his glory forever.

Psalm 91
This Sunday, we’ll see that there’s not only great delight to be found in dwelling in God ... there’s great deliverance. God’s people have always faced significant opposition, intense challenge, and evil itself. Yet through it all and no matter the opponent, God promises great protection to those who seek Him.
Psalm 84
Have you ever stopped to consider what makes you truly happy? What is it that makes your day or week or life truly blessed? What do you truly long for that doesn’t let you down?As we begin our Summer in the Psalms this Sunday, we’ll hear who the Psalmist says are the truly blessed ones today, tomorrow, and forever. And we’ll find out that they are those who dwell in the house of the Lord, those whose strength is in God, an...
This Sunday, we’re looking at the moment when David’s sin comes to light—when God, in his kindness, exposes what he tried so hard to keep hidden. We’ll see that God’s integrity is rock solid: he’s always consistent with who he says he is, even when we’re not, and that’s both sobering and profoundly hopeful for people like us who know our own inconsistencies. Come ready to be honest about your heart and find that trusting in the con...
This Sunday, we’ll see King David foolishly believe sin’s lies after a long season of living under God’s rule and reign. After sinning greatly in taking what isn’t his, David uses all of his power and might, not to run to God, but to attempt to hide what he’s done. In doing so, sin’s deceit and destruction become apparent... as well as the reality that only God’s True King can cover sin.
