The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures,

– Psalm 23

This week, Scott brings us a fresh take on perhaps the most famous Psalm in the Psalter, exploring the metaphor of God as our Shepherd.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.

– Psalm 27:10

Guest speaker Garrett Shelp leads us through the twenty-seventh Psalm.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

– Psalm 139:14

From your soon-to-be-second favorite Psalm, Alison shows how being fully known and deeply loved gives us radical freedom and saftey before God … even emotionally.

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

– Psalm 13:1

Psalm 13 is a lament – but despite the fact that David’s circumstances don’t change over its 6 short verses, he is able to move from defiant doubt to defiant trust. Teaching elder Scott Hetherington shows us how.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

– Psalm 46:1

This Father’s Day, Ryan continues our Summer in the Psalms series with a message about finding refuge in God, and what it truly means to be still and know.

What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

– Psalm 8

Ryan continues our Summer in the Psalms series with some big questions from Psalm 8: are we Everything, or Nothing, or … something in between?

As we begin our Summer in the Psalms series, Ryan Plantz explores Psalm 1 and the question we all wrestle with: What does the good life actually look like? Discover how Scripture points us beyond striving and achievement toward a life that is deeply rooted, flourishing, and sustained by God.

Ryan closes our series on the Seven Deadly Sins with a message on gluttony: the disordered use of food and drink to satisfy the hunger only God can fill. Potluck to follow.

Sloth is more than laziness—it’s the slow drift of a heart growing cold. Join Allison as she uncovers the hidden danger of apathy and challenges us to turn back toward the God who calls us to a life of love, purpose, and deep connection.

God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.

– Psalm 7:11

Wrath is unique among the seven deadly sins because it is the only one that… isn’t a necessarily a sin. God gets angry too! This week, from the story of Job, Ryan illustrates the difference between righteous anger and sinful wrath.

Envy: the only one of the seven deadly sins that’s not even fun while you’re doing it. Why do we get bitter when others have it better – and how can we stop?

Greed rarely feels dangerous—but what if it’s quietly costing more than we realize? In this message from our Seven Deadly Sins series, Ryan Plantz explores how greed takes root in our hearts and how a life of generosity leads us back to true freedom, joy, and trust in God.

In this week’s message, Ryan Plantz explores the weighty topic of lust, revealing it not simply as a struggle of self-control but as a deeper failure to truly love others as God intends. Discover how Jesus invites us out of shame and broken patterns into healing, freedom, and a renewed vision of what it means to see—and love—people rightly.

Ryan kicks off a new series on the Seven Deadly Sins with a look at Pride - what quietly pulls us away from God and what it looks like to live differently. There’s more freedom on the other side than you might expect.

In this in-between Sunday, we step into the tension of disappointment and unanswered questions. As Jesus draws near—even when unrecognized—we’re invited to find Him in our pain and discover the hope He’s already unfolding.

He is risen! Join us as we celebrate the risen King, Jesus Christ, and explore Hebrews 10:19–22—discovering not only how He saves us from sin, but how He invites us to draw near with full access to the Father.

In the penultimate message in our series on Ephesians, Ryan walks us through a difficult passage of Ephesians that has frequently been misinterpreted and misused. The passage speaks of the mutual submission that must exist between wives and husbands, but Paul isn’t just writing a marriage manual – he’s writing a manifesto for a new civilization.
