The Power of Praise | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Psalm 145
Is there anything worse than feeling down and having some terminally perky religious person tell you to “cheer up and praise the Lord?” Yet, in Psalm 145, David ends his Psalm authorship with a litany of praise to the Lord and commands us to do the same. Why?

Sermon Points:

  • The Object of Praise
  • The Nature of Praise
  • The Future of Praise

John: The High Priestly Prayer | Clay Dabbs

John: Do You Want to Be Healed?
Is the Gospel of John the most important thing ever written down by a human being?  Probably so. And at the readable length of about 60 pages of your typical paperback it is an accessible narrative that contains the most significant truths of the universe. Explore the mystery of a relationship with Jesus offered in the Gospel of John and confront the fundamental question that Jesus asked the paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda and continues to ask us today: Do you want to be healed?
Meets in the sanctuary at 9:45am. Taught by Clay Dabbs.

Reframing Hope | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Psalm 16

The emotion of hope consists of having something to look forward to even in the bleakness of everyday life. But David has found the key to celebrating even in the midst of isolation and pain. Only if he can be rescued from the enslaving power of death can he know true hope.

Sermon Points:

  • The Defeat of Idols (vs. 1-6)
  • The Delight in God (vs. 7-8)
  • The Death of Death (vs. 9-11)

Singing Our Doubts | Brian Sorgenfrei

Scripture Reference: Psalm 73

Does doubting mean lack of faith? Does doubting mean immaturity? What does a follower of Jesus do with their doubts? Psalm 73 gives us a window into the doubt of a Psalmist named Asaph. Surely this means the Christian life has a place for doubt, and that doubting can actually lead us to a deeper relationship with Jesus and others.
