Craig Broek - The Table Ministry ~ John 14:15-21

Timeless: The Search for Meaning ~ Psalm 19 - Guest Speaker, Phil Christie

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. (v. 1) There’s something in us that wants life to make sense—that wants to believe this world isn’t random or empty. Psalm 19 speaks directly into that longing by showing that meaning isn’t something we create, but something already being revealed. The question becomes: are we listening? In an ocean of meaninglessness, God is the only rock you can stand on.

Timeless: The Search for Transcendence ~ Psalm 63

Psalm 63 gives voice to a deep and often unspoken longing—the sense that nothing in this world fully satisfies. David’s thirst is not ultimately for relief or success, but for God Himself. This psalm reveals that beneath all our desires is a deeper hunger that cannot be filled by anything created. It invites us to recognize what our souls are truly seeking and to bring that longing honestly before God. What your soul ultimately longs for is not something from God, but God Himself.

Timeless: The Search for Certainty ~ Psalm 14

Psalm 14 exposes the instability beneath life without God. While we often assume we can construct meaning and certainty on our own, this psalm shows how quickly everything unravels when God is removed from the center. The result is not freedom, but fragmentation—of truth, of morality, and of hope. This passage invites us to consider what we are truly standing on and whether it can bear the weight of real life. Without God, certainty collapses; with Him, there is a foundation that holds.

Timeless: The Search for Identity ~ Psalm 8

Psalm 8 confronts us with a tension we all feel: we are small in the universe, yet we long for significance. Modern life tells us to build our own identity, but this psalm reveals that identity is not something we create—it is something we receive. Humanity is crowned with dignity not because of what we achieve, but because of how God has made us and remembers us. This passage calls us to step out of the pressure of self-definition and into the security of identity grounded in God. Identity is not something you achieve—it is something you receive from God.

Timeless: The Search for Happiness ~ Psalm 1

Psalm 1 opens with a bold claim: real happiness is possible. Yet experience tells us it’s far more elusive than we expected. While we assume happiness comes through circumstances or achievement, this psalm exposes a deeper reality—happiness is rooted, not received. Like a tree planted by streams of water, the good life is formed by what we are anchored in, not what happens around us. This passage invites us to examine where our lives are truly rooted and whether what we trust can actually sustain us. True happiness is not found in what happens to you, but in what you are rooted in.
