					<description><![CDATA[We all perform for somebody. A boss, a friend, a crowd, even ourselves — and once we know who's watching, we start adjusting. In this message from Matthew 6:1-4, we ask the question Jesus asks: who's the audience we're actually living for? Along the way, we find out why chasing human applause is a leaky bucket that never fills — and why, in Christ, we're already free to stop performing and give, serve, and live for an audience of One.]]></description>

					<title>Psalm 51: New Life After the Excuses End (9-13-26)</title>

					<description><![CDATA[We're all experts at spotting someone else's faults — and strangely blind to our own. In this message from Psalm 51, we watch King David do the exact same thing... until the prophet Nathan turns the mirror around.

Psalm 51 is David's raw, honest prayer after his sin with Bathsheba was finally exposed — and it shows us that real confession isn't about managing guilt or performing religion. It's about asking God to do what only he can do: wash us clean and give us a new heart. And in Jesus, that's exactly what he's already done.

In this message, we'll walk through:

 	Why real confession goes deeper than "I made a mistake"
 	What it means to ask God not just to forgive us, but to remake us
 	How Jesus fulfills every single thing David could only ask for
 	What a truly restored heart naturally produces in how we live

					<description><![CDATA[When crisis hits—whether a sudden wildfire evacuation, an unexpected medical report, or economic uncertainty—we are confronted with a truth we usually try to ignore: our bank accounts, achievements, and self-reliance cannot buy us out of the grave.

In this expositional sermon on Psalm 49, we explore the universal human struggle with mortality, wealth, and fear. While no human fortune can pay the ransom for a soul, God provided the ultimate ransom through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Discover how resting in Christ’s completed work frees us from envy, fear, and misplaced trust in a fragile world.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Psalm 47 calls us to that unrestrained joy — for a King whose throne isn't up for grabs.
In this expository sermon on Psalm 47, Pastor Brad walks through the psalm's two matching calls to praise and the single verse at the center that everything turns on: God has ascended. We look at what it meant for Israel, what it means now that Jesus has taken that throne, and why the nations who were once under Israel's feet end up standing beside them, singing the same song.
Along the way: what "inheritance" actually meant, why Joshua isn't the subject of verse 3, and how God's promise to Abraham finally came true.
Passage: Psalm 47 (NIV)
Series: The Psalms
Commission: Colossians 3:15–17
📖 Message outline:
I. All Peoples Are Called to Praise the Great King (vv. 1–4)
II. God Has Ascended to His Throne (v. 5)
III. Sing Praises to the King of All the Earth (vv. 6–9)
IV. Sing Praises to Jesus, Our Ascended King
Because King Jesus reigns over all, our lives sing.]]></description>

					<title>Psalm 46: The Anchor That Cannot Move (8-2-26)</title>

					<description><![CDATA[In 1703, dozens of ships anchored in the safest harbor on the English coast. By morning, many of them were gone. Their anchors had been dragging all night — and nobody on deck could feel it.
We do the same thing. We drop the anchors of our hearts into good things: work, health, family, a plan that's finally coming together. And in fair weather, we cannot tell the difference between an anchor that's holding and an anchor that's sliding.
Psalm 46 is written for the moment we find out. It watches the mountains fall into the sea, the nations rage, and kingdoms collapse — and it says something startling: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
In this message we walk through all four movements of Psalm 46 and ask what it actually means to "be still and know that I am God" — a verse almost everyone knows and almost everyone misreads. It isn't a call to quiet your feelings. It's a command to stand down. And we'll see why we can: the LORD Almighty of Psalm 46 has a name, and he has already won.
In this message:
I) When our physical world shatters, God is our stronghold (vv. 1–3)
II) When our world is in uproar, God is present (vv. 4–7)
III) Seeing what God has done stills our striving (vv. 8–11)
IV) Christ fulfills what this psalm promises]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why do millions of us wake up in the middle of the night to watch a royal wedding we weren't even invited to? In this exposition of Psalm 45, we discover that our deep fascination with royal glory isn't an accident—we were made for a wedding. Join us as we walk step-by-step through Psalm 45, an ancient Hebrew wedding song that contains a astonishing theological mystery: an Israelite poet addresses an earthly groom as God and promises that the nations will worship Him forever. Discover how Jesus Christ fulfills every detail of this psalm, how He paid the ultimate bride-price for us on the cross, and what it practically means for us to leave behind old securities and live into the white robes of His righteousness today.]]></description>

					<title>Psalm 44: When Faithfulness Doesn’t Fix It (7-19-26)</title>

					<description><![CDATA[What do you do when you follow the pattern, do everything right, and the results don't match the promise? Whether it’s a marriage built by the book, a child raised in the faith, or a career handled with absolute integrity—we have all stood in the driveway staring at a broken outcome, asking the agonizing question: Why is this happening?
In this expository sermon, we walk through the raw, corporate lament of Psalm 44. Israel ran the audit on their lives, proved their covenant faithfulness, and yet still faced defeat and public shame. This text reveals that our relationship with God is never a transaction of "obedience in, blessing out." Instead, true faith anchors itself to the unchanging character of God's love even when our circumstances flatly contradict His promises.

By tying Israel's ancient cry directly to the Apostle Paul’s declaration in Romans 8, we see how Jesus Christ became the ultimate innocent sufferer—despised, sold, and slaughtered for our sake. Because of His resurrection, we discover that while our difficult circumstances may not immediately change, our separation question has been settled permanently.]]></description>

					<title>Psalm 42–43: Faith in the Fog (7-12-26)</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Have you ever felt spiritually lost — like God went silent and every reference point vanished? The things that used to connect you to God don't seem to work anymore, and the one voice that could orient you seems quiet. What do you do when the fog rolls in?
Most of us do one of two things: we pull away from God, or we pretend everything's fine. Psalm 42–43 shows us a third way. In this message, Pastor Brad walks through one of the most honest songs in the Bible — a psalm written by a believer in deep spiritual darkness — and finds a pattern for suffering well: faith in the fog doesn't pull away and doesn't pretend. It pours out its pain, and it preaches hope to its soul.
Along the way we'll discover why lament is an act of faith (not a failure of it), how to preach hope to your own downcast soul, and how God ultimately answered this psalm's prayer — by sending his Son into the fog for us.
If you're walking through a season of spiritual dryness, doubt, depression, or unanswered prayer, this message is for you.]]></description>
