Songs Of Lament | Pslam 13 | Rick Amos

Songs Of Lament | Pslam 13 | Rick Amos

When life falls apart, most of us struggle to know how to pray. Psalm 13 offers a four-part pattern that is honest, bold, and deeply comforting for anyone walking through a hard season. David models what it looks like to turn to God completely, complain to Him honestly, pray to Him boldly, and trust Him continually. These are not steps in a formula but movements in a real relationship with God. Lament is not a sign of weak faith. It is actually one of the most faithful things a person can do. God does not need us to clean up our prayers before bringing them to Him. He welcomes our raw, unfiltered honesty and meets us in it. Whatever you are carrying right now, Psalm 13 is an invitation to bring it all to Him.

God's Nightlight | Ephesians 5:7-14 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, Pastor Trent Griffith continues in the series "The Center of it All" going verse by verse through the book of Ephesians. In the message "God's Nightlight". There is a battle running through all of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, and it is the battle between darkness and light. Every believer is caught up in that story right now. Ephesians 5:7-14 reminds us that we were not simply near the darkness before Christ. We were the darkness. But because of what He has done, that is no longer true. Now we are light in the Lord, and the call is simply to act like it. Walking in the light means pursuing truth, righteousness, and goodness in a way that makes the gospel look genuinely good to the people around us. Light does not just expose darkness. It transforms it. The world is waiting for Christians who know how to live, suffer, give, and love in a way that makes people wish the gospel were true because they can already see that it is good.

When Sex Kills Love | Ephesians 5:1-6 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, Pastor Trent Griffith continues in the series "The Center of it All" going verse by verse through the book of Ephesians. In the message "When Sex Kills Love". God designed sex to be a powerful, bonding force within the covenant of marriage, but when it is used outside of His design, it erodes the very love it was meant to strengthen. Ephesians 5:1-7 calls believers to walk in love the way Christ loved us, which is self-sacrificing and others-focused rather than self-serving. Sexual immorality, impurity, and even the casual normalizing of sexual sin through humor all work against the kind of love God intends for us. Sexual sin is also connected to idolatry, placing a created thing above the Creator. The people we walk with matter deeply, because community either pulls us toward purity or away from it. No matter what the past holds, there is grace, restoration, and a fresh start available through Christ.

Learn To Forgive | Ephesians 4:31-32 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, Pastor Trent Griffith continues in the series "The Center of it All" going verse by verse through the book of Ephesians. In the message "Learn to Forgive", Hurt is a universal human experience, but bitterness is not inevitable. Bitterness is a root problem that grows when wounds go untreated and forgiveness is withheld. Based on Ephesians 4:31-32, we are called to put off bitterness and put on kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness. Forgiveness is not a feeling but a choice, and it means canceling the penalty of an offense every time the memory resurfaces. Just as Christ absorbed the full cost of our sin on the cross, we are called to absorb the cost of what others have done to us. Gratitude for God's sovereignty and a deep awareness of the grace we have received are what make that kind of forgiveness possible. Hurt is inevitable in this broken world, but bitterness does not have to be.

Onward | Joshua 1 | Pastor Trent Griffith

In today’s sermon, "Onward", God's call to His people has always been to move forward, not to stay comfortable. Drawing from Joshua chapter one, five key truths emerge for every believer: stepping into new territory, living with courage, being transformed by God's Word, serving others in community, and embracing a mission to the world around us. Just as God promised His presence to Joshua, He promises the same to every follower of Jesus today. The greatest giants we face are often internal, things like comfort, idleness, and fear, and only God's strength is sufficient to overcome them. Meditating on Scripture is not a passive exercise but a deep, transforming process that reshapes the heart from the inside out. Jesus is the true and better Joshua, the One who leads His people into new territory and gives them everything they need to follow Him faithfully.
