Descripción

As we start our new series On Repeat, Pastor Josh explores how the Psalms function as the soundtrack of the human soul—ancient songs and poetry that still speak into every emotion, struggle, and season of life today. In a world where we are over-informed but under-formed, constantly consuming voices, opinions, outrage, and distraction, Psalm 1 asks a deeper question: What kind of life does this produce? This teaching unpacks the two ways Psalm 1 presents—the way that leads to destruction and the way that leads to flourishing. Through vivid imagery of trees, streams of water, and chaff blown away by the wind, we discover that flourishing is not about comfort, success, or an easy life, but about becoming deeply rooted in God. We explore how our daily choices, habits, influences, and meditation slowly shape who we become, and how Jesus invites us into another way of life—one rooted in Him as the source of living water. This message also introduces practical rhythms for engaging the Psalms personally through meditation, delighting in God’s Word, and learning to be spiritually formed “day and night.”

The Way of Trust

Psalm 23 may be one of the most familiar passages in the Bible, but it is far more than a funeral reading—it is a declaration of trust. In Week 3 of our series, we explore David’s powerful image of God as our Shepherd and discover why God can be trusted through every season of life. Together we unpack three truths from Psalm 23: the Shepherd provides for us, the Shepherd stays with us through our darkest valleys, and the Shepherd’s goodness and love never leave us. Along the way, we see how God’s character—not our circumstances—is the foundation of our trust. Ultimately, Psalm 23 points us to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who laid down His life for His sheep and promises that we never walk alone. Whether you’re resting in green pastures or walking through deep shadows, this message is a reminder that God is with you every step of the way. God can be trusted to provide and stay with us through every season of life.

The Way of Listening

In Week 2 of our On Repeat: Psalms series, we explore Psalm 19 and the powerful truth that God is already speaking—we just need to learn how to listen. From the beauty and wonder of creation to the wisdom and truth of Scripture, Psalm 19 reveals that God is making Himself known to us every day. In this teaching, we unpack how creation points to God’s power, beauty, wisdom, goodness, and love, why God’s Word is more than rules—it’s life-giving instruction—and how God wants to speak not only around us, but directly to our hearts. We also see how Jesus is the culmination of Psalm 19: the Creator who entered creation, the Word made flesh, and our Redeemer who brings restoration and new life. God is already speaking through creation and Scripture. The question is: are we listening?

The Power of Our Stories

We continue our Sharing the Good News series by exploring the power of our stories. Through the story of the blind man in John 9 and a deeply personal journey of grief, grace, and healing, we’re reminded that one of the most powerful ways to share Jesus is simply to share our story. Life before Jesus. How we met Jesus. Life since Jesus. You don’t need all the answers or perfect theology to share your faith—you just need to be willing to talk about the hope you’ve experienced. In this message, we’ll discover how God often uses the hardest parts of our stories to reveal His love, bring healing, and help others feel seen, understood, and invited into life with Him. No matter where you are in your journey—still searching, newly surrendering, or walking with Jesus for years—your story matters. And your story may be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
