Sermon - Lee Adams | Psalm 23

Step into the timeless beauty of Psalm 23 in this powerful message from Avenue Community Church. In a world driven by anxiety, exhaustion, and the constant awareness of what we lack, this sermon invites us to rediscover the comforting voice of the Good Shepherd who leads us beside still waters and restores our souls. Through honest storytelling, biblical insight, and heartfelt encouragement, this message explores what it truly means to rest in God—even in seasons of uncertainty, suffering, insomnia, broken relationships, spiritual wandering, or emotional fatigue. You’ll be reminded that the Shepherd does not abandon His sheep in the wilderness; He goes before them, prepares the way, and walks with them through every dark valley. This sermon also challenges the church to live like a flock marked by compassion, grace, and belonging—refusing to treat people as commodities and learning instead to rejoice when others receive rest, healing, and restoration. Whether Psalm 23 feels deeply personal or overly familiar, this message will help you hear it again with fresh ears and renewed hope: “The Lord is my shepherd. I lack nothing.” Listen in and be reminded that your Shepherd knows your needs, speaks with tenderness, and is faithfully leading you home.

Sermon - Mike Johnson | Psalms 54

In this powerful and deeply personal sermon from Psalm 54, Michael Johnson invites us into the raw, unfiltered reality of what it means to follow God when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, and even painful. Through the story of David—betrayed, hunted, and outnumbered—we’re reminded that faith isn’t just about what God has done… it’s about trusting Him for what He will do.

Sermon - Pastor Tim Johnson | Colossians 3:18-19

In this message centered on Colossians 3:18–19, we move from celebration to application. If Jesus is truly risen and truly Lord, then His authority doesn’t just inspire our worship—it reshapes our homes, our marriages, and our daily interactions. “Whatever you do… do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” That’s not abstract theology—it’s deeply personal. It means every word, every action, every relationship becomes a reflection of Him.
