Timberline Windsor | Feed My Soul: Psalm 23 | Donny Abbott

This message is about finding peace, security, and hope in a relationship with God as our Shepherd. Using Psalm 23, the pastor explains that believers can confidently say “I will not lack, I will not fear, and I will dwell” because God provides for their needs, walks with them through life's darkest valleys, and ultimately leads them to an eternal home with Him. The sermon emphasizes that fear and hardship are real parts of life, but God's presence is greater than any difficulty. Just as a shepherd guides, protects, and cares for sheep, God lovingly leads His people, reminding them that they belong to Him ("You are mine"). The central message is that our confidence comes not from our own strength or circumstances, but from trusting the Good Shepherd who never abandons His people and promises His goodness, mercy, and eternal presence.

Timberline Windsor | Discerning the Will of God | Donny Abbott

The sermon “Discerning the Will of God” explains that understanding God’s will is less about discovering a hidden plan and more about growing in wisdom, trust, and relationship with God. Pastor Donny Abbott teaches that believers can discern God’s guidance through five key sources: God’s Word, wise counsel from other believers, life circumstances, the Holy Spirit, and prayer. Scripture provides clear principles that shape decisions, while trusted mentors and friends offer valuable perspective. Circumstances can sometimes point to God’s direction, but they should never be relied on alone because open and closed doors can be misleading. The Holy Spirit guides, comforts, and convicts believers as they walk closely with God, and prayer helps cultivate trust, wisdom, and dependence on Him. Ultimately, the sermon emphasizes that God is not hiding His will from His people; rather, He desires to lead them through a relationship with Him, and confidence grows when His Word, wise counsel, circumstances, the Holy Spirit, and prayer all begin to align.

Timberline Windsor | Fully Human: Who Am I? | Brent Cunningham

This sermon is about how people often build their identity on unstable things like achievements, relationships, feelings, or other people’s opinions, which can leave them lost or insecure. Using ideas from sociologists and philosophers like Charles Horton Cooley and Charles Taylor, the message explains modern “expressive individualism,” where people try to define themselves completely on their own. The sermon warns against four “identity traps”: defining yourself by what you do, who accepts you, what you feel, or what others say about you. Through Bible passages like Book of Isaiah 43:1–7, Gospel of John 1:12, and First Epistle to the Corinthians 6:9–11, the sermon teaches that true identity comes from God, not from human approval or personal success. It emphasizes humility, referencing C. S. Lewis, and encourages people to see themselves as fully known, loved, and transformed by God rather than by the world’s standards.

Timberline Windsor | Fully Human: Where Am I Going? | Felix Arellano

This sermon, “Walking with Longing,” is about how God meets people in their deepest disappointments, desires, and struggles rather than simply removing their problems. Using the metaphor of taking “three laps” around the question “Where am I going?”, the speaker explains that many human frustrations and unanswered prayers reveal deeper spiritual longings — especially the longing for eternity and restoration. Drawing from personal stories, Romans 8, and the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, the sermon teaches that humans were created for more than this broken world, which is why suffering, grief, and disappointment feel so painful. Instead of seeing longing as weakness, the message encourages believers to view it as evidence that they were made for eternal life with God. Ultimately, the sermon emphasizes hope, reminding listeners that God’s grace is present even in grief, that Jesus walks beside people even when they cannot recognize Him, and that eternity and resurrection give meaning and comfort in the middle of life’s pain.
