Sermons

Bible, Chips, Water

For the summer of 2021, as we emerge from our pandemic-induced isolation and gather together once again, we are presenting a sermon series from the Book of Psalms. This is a collection of 150 sacred songs and poems found in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and they were intended for praise and worship. A variety of speakers are scheduled to share their thoughts on one psalm each. What's common with all psalms is they are cries from the hearts of the authors. The voices are genuine, intense, and sometimes raw as they cry out from stressful situations. Perhaps your heart is saying something similar. Have a listen.

Audio versions of the sermon are below. Video replays can be found here.
