Investing Trust: Psalm 49
“You can’t take it with you.” This psalm is, in many ways, a recapitulation of the treasure in heaven teachings in the gospels. However, the distinction we sometimes miss is the warning not to trust in our wealth and our own provisions. The issue isn’t the wealth, the issue is where we put our trust. Ultimately, God is the only truly trustworthy and reliable person worthy of holding our trust.

Preparing the Room: Matt 26:17-30As we install new deacons and ministry leaders, our elder, Scott Brunner, shares from Matthew 26:17-19 and the importance of those who prepare the room.

The Posture of Worship: Psalm 22The psalms often speak to postures of worship, in both physical and spiritual natures.

Though fear might tempt us to cower, praise gives us confidence to stand.
