Timberline Windsor | Feed My Soul: Psalm 96 | Donny Abbott

This sermon on Psalm 96 explains that God is the true King who deserves worship from all people everywhere. The speaker highlights four main messages from the psalm: God's salvation is for every nation, God has no rivals and stands above all other things people may worship, God alone deserves our loyalty and devotion, and God will one day return to judge the world and make everything right. The sermon encourages believers to praise God not only when life is going well but also during difficult times, because worship helps refocus their perspective on God's greatness. It also challenges Christians to share the message of Jesus with others, especially people who have never heard it, to reject modern-day idols such as wealth, success, and comfort, and to live with hope that Jesus will return to restore all creation.

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 | Feed My Soul: Psalm 1 | Aaron Hanson

What feeds your soul? In a world filled with endless distractions, many people find themselves exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and spiritually hungry. Kicking off our summer journey through the Psalms, Psalm 1 invites us to discover the source of a flourishing life: delighting in and meditating on the Word of God. These ancient songs have nourished God's people for generations, pointing hearts toward His presence, His truth, and ultimately, to Jesus. Like a tree planted by streams of water, those who root themselves in God's truth find strength, stability, and fruitfulness in every season. As we begin this series through the Psalms, we'll discover how feeding our souls with God's Word leads to a deeper experience of His blessing, His presence, and the life He desires for us.

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.
