Scripture Reference: Psalm 32
David shows us that guilt can actually lead us to a place of joy. It sounds so upside down in today’s world, however, being honest with guilt and turning to the right place brings freedom, forgiveness and joy. Could our guilt actually be a pathway to joy? Let’s follow David.
Sermon Points:
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.
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.
Scripture Reference: Psalm 8
Though our culture looks inward to our feelings or our accomplishments to search for an identity, David sings to a majestic Lord and discovers his purpose and significance in light of Him. Psalm 8 poetically reveals what the rest of Scripture teaches, that we will only find our purpose and identity as we look outside ourselves to the Lord and how He made us and redeems us.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 3
David is afraid as his son Absalom has enacted a coup and is trying to hunt him down. As David prays, we see how he seeks the help of others and trusts the Lord, and thereby gives us a roadmap for our fears.
