The Playlist for Life

The Psalms are the soundtrack of the experience of life. Bob helps us to see the variety of ways they speak into our lives.

Songs for Our Temple (Week 24: Ps. 70-72)

Melanie Haynes takes us through the next Psalms — 70-72 — and what they share about how God is with us in all circumstances.

Becoming a Wise Guy (June 6, 2022)

What does wisdom really look like? Do we really know as much as we think we do? As we begin a series on Agur’s wise words in Prov. 30, we consider how he challenges our view of wisdom.

Killer Hamsters and the Peace of God (June 5, 2022)

We’ve all stepped into a conflict hoping to bring peace and walked out having made things worse—turns out we didn’t understand the system as well as we thought. Jesus calls the peacemakers blessed in Matthew 5:9, promising they shall be called sons of God, so the question worth sitting with is: what kind of peace does He actually have in mind?

From Hidden to Highlighted (June 5, 2022)

Have you ever been tempted to hide your faith? Sometimes we feel embarrassed to share our faith, however, Jesus calls us to not live a hidden faith but an unleashed faith!

Songs for Our Temple (Week 23: Ps. 67-69)

Jim Krenning takes us through the next Psalms — 67-69 — and what we find out about our God and His calling for us in them.

Have Your Cake and Lisa Too (May 30, 2022)

What are our motives as we “protect” things we care about? Is it to do what is right or to watch out for our own interests?

The Heater With No Heart (May 29, 2022)

We’re good at looking pure—saying the right things, following the right rules, putting on the kind of life that earns approving nods—and that’s precisely the trap Jesus names in Matthew 5:8 when he calls the pure *in heart* blessed, not the pure in appearance.

From Here to There (May 29, 2022)

Pastor Nikomas begins a new series helping us think about unleashing the love of God in our own community.

Songs for Our Temple (Week 22: Ps. 64-66)

Uncertain times are a perfect time to turn to our latest Psalms — 64, 65 and 66 — which remind us of a God who is righteous, in control and faithful.
