    Psalm 42

    This sermon explores Psalm 42 as a model for honest prayer during seasons of spiritual disorientation. Drew Zeiler addresses the gap between what we know to be true about God and what we experience when He feels distant. Rather than medicating our discouragement with distractions or created things, the psalmist shows us how to bring our sadness, confusion, and questions directly to God through lament. As he remembers God's faithfulness, he repeatedly preaches truth to his own soul, calling himself to hope in God despite his circumstances. The sermon culminates in the reminder that Jesus was forsaken on the cross so that we would never truly be abandoned, making the cross the ultimate display of God's faithfulness.

    Psalm 32

    Psalm 32 opens our eyes to the truth that God's glory is most powerfully displayed in His mercy and forgiveness. God doesn't just pardon our sins from a distance. Instead, the Hebrew word for forgiveness literally means “to lift.” God gets underneath the burden we cannot carry and takes it upon Himself. Through Christ, our transgressions are lifted, our sins are covered, and our iniquities are not counted against us. Walking in the light means bringing our darkest secrets into honest confession, not managing our image or sharing edited versions of our struggles. When we confess that final two percent we're most ashamed of, we experience the full cleansing power of Christ's blood. The question becomes: are we willing to stop being like stubborn mules, resistant to feedback and accountability? Or will we embrace the teachable, humble posture that leads to genuine fellowship with God and others? Ultimately, Psalm 32 calls believers to embrace a lifestyle of authentic confession, teachability, and joy that flows from experiencing God's complete forgiveness through Christ.

    Psalm 27

    This sermon explores Psalm 27 and addresses how believers should respond when facing fear, anxiety, and trouble. Jason Bradshaw emphasizes that David's response to fear wasn't to deny it or wish it away, but to remember who God is: our light, salvation, and stronghold. The message encourages Christians to move beyond merely understanding God theologically to experiencing Him personally. Rather than seeking external peace from circumstances, believers are called to find peace in God's presence, to linger with Him throughout the day, and to engage with Him honestly in prayer. The sermon concludes with the theme of actively waiting for Christ's return, which should strengthen and give courage for present struggles. The greatest blessing isn't necessarily deliverance from trouble, but communion with the Lord Himself.

    Psalm 24

    This sermon explores Psalm 24 within the broader context of Psalms 15–24, revealing Jesus Christ as the worthy King of Glory who alone can ascend the mountain of the Lord. While humanity lacks the clean hands and pure heart required to stand in God's holy presence, Jesus, as both Creator and Redeemer, descended to earth, took on flesh, and proved Himself worthy to usher us into God's presence. The sermon calls believers to recognize that everything belongs to the Lord, to seek an intimate relationship with Him, to steward resources for His kingdom rather than their own, and to eagerly await Christ's return. The core theological truth is that salvation and righteousness come not through human achievement but through God's saving work in Christ, the anointed King who redeems and renames His people, giving them a new identity just as He transformed Jacob into Israel.

    Psalm 19

    This message on Psalm 19 examines how God reveals Himself through two specific means: general revelation (creation) and special revelation (Scripture). The first half celebrates how the heavens declare God's glory without words, speaking to all people everywhere regardless of language or culture. The second half focuses on the transformative power of God's Word, which is perfect, sure, right, pure, and able to revive the soul, give wisdom, bring joy, and provide light. The sermon concludes with a call to worship the Creator rather than creation, to run to His Word for freedom from sin, and to let our words and meditations be pleasing to God.

    Psalm 23

    This sermon explores Psalm 23, revealing how God serves as our shepherd who provides, protects, and brings peace to our lives. Drew Zeiler emphasizes that a relationship with God is not merely theological but deeply experiential—like being led to green pastures and still waters. The sermon addresses the universal human tendency toward self-reliance and pride, calling listeners to surrender control and trust God as their shepherd. Through suffering and valleys of darkness, God deepens our fellowship with Him and refines our character. The ultimate promise is that God's goodness and mercy follow us all our days, and those in Christ have absolute certainty of dwelling with Him forever.   Main Points: The Good Shepherd restores my soul The Good Shepherd is with us in life’s hardships The Good Shepherd secures our future   Scripture Referenced: Psalm 23:1-6 (main passage); Galatians 5:25; John 14; Matthew 11:28; Psalm 62:8; Isaiah 53:6; John 10; Philippians 3:10; Romans 8:35-39 Community Group Guide:   Begin with Prayer Begin by thanking God for bringing your group together and asking the Holy Spirit to guide your discussion and reveal how He wants to work through each person present.   Discussion Questions   1.   Read Psalm 23 together. What stands out to you most from this psalm? 2.   "Hurry mutes the voice of God." How does the pace of your life affect your ability to hear from God? What specific things create hurry in your life? 3.   The sermon mentioned we often "medicate" with distraction, food, work, entertainment, doom scrolling, etc. Where do you typically go to find rest when you're weary? What would it look like to turn to God instead? 4.   Why is it significant that God leads us in paths of righteousness "for His name's sake" rather than for our sake? How does this shift our perspective? 5.   Paul said he was willing to suffer "so that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings." How have you seen suffering deepen someone's faith (your own or someone else's)? 6.   How does knowing that “goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life” and that you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever shape the way you view your past failures, current struggles, and the way you live today?   Personal Reflection and Practical Application: Spend some time praying through Psalm 23. Do you believe David’s words to be true in your own life?   Begin a prayerful conversation with God. Ask Him to reveal to you what changes you may need to make through the answers to the following questions. Ask Him to give you eyes to see His goodness and mercy each day: - What does it mean practically for me to "keep in step with the Spirit" this week? - Where am I most tempted to be self-sufficient rather than dependent on God? - How has God shown His goodness and mercy in my life, even in difficult times? Have I taken time to acknowledge this and thank Him? - What would change in my life if I truly believed God is my Shepherd and I shall not want?   Worship Setlist: As Loud As He Is Worthy (Psalm 47); Psalm 23 (Surely Goodness, Surely Mercy); His Glory and My Good; Holy Holy Holy; Goodness of God

    Psalm 1

    What does it truly mean to live the blessed life? This exploration of Psalm 1 challenges our modern assumptions about happiness and fulfillment. We often equate the good life with maximizing comfort and minimizing pain, but Scripture paints a radically different picture. The blessed life isn’t found in accumulating more possessions, achieving greater success, or avoiding all hardship. Instead, it’s rooted in a deep, transformative relationship with God through His Word. The image of a tree planted by streams of water offers us profound insight into spiritual formation. Just as a tree with deep roots can withstand storms and bear fruit in season, we become spiritually resilient and life-giving to others when we’re anchored in God’s truth. This isn’t about white-knuckling our way to righteousness or trying harder in our own strength. Rather, it’s about drawing near to Jesus, the true blessed man who perfectly embodied everything Psalm 1 describes. As we meditate on God’s Word and allow it to shape us, we’re not stepping away from life but stepping into the abundant life Jesus promised. The question we must wrestle with is this: What are we truly living for? Are we building our lives on the chaff of worldly pursuits that will ultimately prove weightless, or are we rooting ourselves in the eternal truths that will stand the test of time and judgment? Main Points: - God’s way is the good life - God’s way forms a life that lasts - Jesus is the way to life Scripture Referenced: Psalm 1:1-6 (main passage); Acts 20:35; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:11; Psalm 119:105; 1 Corinthians 6:13, 18; 2 Peter 3:9; Hebrews 4:12 Community Group Guide: Begin with Prayer Begin by thanking God for bringing your group together and asking the Holy Spirit to guide your discussion and reveal how He wants to work through each person present. Discussion Questions 1. Read Psalm 1 together. What stands out to you most from this psalm? 2. The sermon described the blessed life as flourishing rooted in God’s Word. How does this differ from how our culture defines the good life, and what does it look like to actually delight in God’s Word rather than just agree with it? 3. In what ways do we subtly allow the counsel of the wicked, the way of sinners, or the seat of scoffers to influence our daily decisions and long-term direction? 4. How does seeing God’s commands as designed for our good (not restriction) reshape the way you respond to His Word and your overall attitude toward obedience? 5. The sermon contrasts the weightlessness of chaff with the rootedness of a tree. What areas of your life might currently resemble chaff that you are investing in as though they were substantial? Personal Reflection and Practical Application 1. Community Check: Who is in your inner circle? Are they people who fear God and point you toward Him? If not, what changes might you need to make? 2: Delight Assessment: How much do you genuinely delight in God’s Word? What competes for your attention and meditation throughout the day (portfolio, social media, wardrobe, dating apps, sports, etc.)? 3. The sermon mentioned that the blessed person is “strong and stable like a tree” because they’re rooted in God’s Word. In what area of your life do you feel unstable or rootless right now? How might God’s Word address that area? 4. The sermon asked, “What is your legacy going to be?” How are you currently investing in others and blessing them with what God has given you? 5. Evangelism Opportunity: Drew shared about his conversation with his Uber driver. As people who are meant to be ‘trees that bear fruit,’ how might God use your life this week to bring life to others, including opportunities to share the gospel like Drew did with Rosa? Worship Setlist: Who is Like the Lord; Firm Foundation (He Won’t); There is a Savior; Give us Clean Hands; Build My Life
