Investigating Praise

Text: Psalm 150

Throughout the Bible we see that giving thanks and giving the Lord praise go hand-in-hand. As we reflect on Thanksgiving this year, our celebration should be filled with praise! In this message, Pastor Scott will be focused on the finale of the book of Psalms - Psalm 150. In the six short verses of this Psalm, we can answer the questions - What is praise? Where and when should we praise? Why should we praise? How should we praise? And who should praise? We invite you to listen to this message as we investigate praise together!

Overcomer: Overcoming Doubt

Text: Genesis 50:14-26

As followers of Christ, we all know that we are called to not only possess faith, but to also live by faith throughout our lives. However, we must admit that it is not always easy to live by faith. There are, in fact, times that we have questions, concerns, and perhaps even doubts. This is not new to us. Even Jesus’ own disciples, like Thomas and Peter, faced moments and experiences of doubt. God knows our humanity and our struggles and has given us ways to overcome our doubts. If you are struggling with doubt today, we invite you to listen to this message so that you might be encouraged and strengthened in your faith.

Overcomer: Overcoming the Pains of the Past

Text: Genesis 41:50-57, 45:1-28

Most people have experienced some physical pains in their lives, and most of these injuries are easily treated and come with a quick recovery plan. The same, though, is not true with the emotional, mental, and relational wounds we suffer. These wounds of the heart seem to cut us to our very soul and, while we may appear fine on the outside, on the inside we can be struggling severely. While the physical injuries may heal in weeks, the emotional and relational injuries may last years, decades, and perhaps even a lifetime. From the story of Joseph God shows us today how we can move beyond the pains of the past, walk with Him in the present, and move forward trusting Him for the future. This leads to healing and victory that won’t otherwise be known. If you are in need of healing today, we invite you to listen and experience the victory that He is offering to you!

Overcomer: Overcoming Success

Text: Genesis 41:37-57

Much of the culture views success as something to aspire for and achieve, but there are actually many dangers that come with success and accomplishment. We see this in many aspects of society, but we can also see the spiritual dangers of success. While success can be a wonderful blessing from God, without faithfully honoring Him with these blessings, this success can lead to pride, complacency, selfishness, self-indulgence, forgetfulness, neglect, and stinginess, just to name a few. Because Joseph knew what true success was, he was able to faithfully honor the Lord and overcame the various temptations that come with success. We invite you to listen today, so that you are not ruined by success, but instead use it as a means to bring glory to the Lord and good to others.
