This Is Our God: Jehovah Machsi– The Lord My Refuge

Text: Psalm 91:1-16

There are many things that people turn to as a refuge in their lives. We can turn to wealth, possessions, education, fame, and a host of experiences – all trying to find peace and rest from the troubles we face in life. The problem, though, is that all of these things are lacking. They only leave us longing for more and more because none of these things truly satisfy. God has promised a constant refuge in our life that will be with us and will help us in every season and situation of life. We invite you to listen today to personally discover this refuge for yourself!

This Is Our God: Jehovah Rohi – The Lord My Shepherd

Text: Psalm 23:1-6

The unique name of God discovered in Psalm 23 is Jehovah Rohi – The Lord My Shepherd. The goodness of the Lord, the true Shepherd, is the overarching theme of the entire chapter. With every verse we learn something significant about His care for His sheep. The question is simple, “Do you belong to Jesus? Are you a part of His flock?” If not, you can be today, and if so, are you living confidently and contentedly in His care? This Scripture is one of the most encouraging passages in all the Bible, and we pray that you will be encouraged as you listen today.

Sending Service: Getting the Seed Out of the Barn

Text: Luke 8:1-15, Haggai 2:18-19

As people of God we have been entrusted with the seeds of the Gospel, but in order for there to be a great harvest we must be willing to sow the seed everywhere we go. Unfortunately, we often choose to delay and dismiss our calling, assuming that we will have ample opportunity in the future or perhaps someone else will share instead. This message reminds us that Jesus shows us that the harvest is now and that there is much work to be done. We pray that you are challenged by this message and that the Lord uses it in your life to bring a great harvest for His glory.

This Is Our God: Jehovah Sabaoth: The Lord of Hosts

Text: 1 Samuel 17:1-50

The story of “David and Goliath” is one of the most referenced stories in all of history. It is quoted in sports, politics, military conflicts, and nearly every arena of society. The phrase “David and Goliath” gives imagery of an underdog defeating an impossible, larger-than-life giant, but there is much more to it that God wants us to see today. The story isn’t really about a shepherd and a giant, fancy weapons versus a slingshot, or unlikely and impossible victories. It is ultimately about Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts, who has all power and authority. He rules over the forces of heaven and earth, and His plans and purposes will be accomplished. Our prayer today is that as you listen to this message, you would not merely see the struggles and “battles” that you are facing today, but that you instead focus on the Lord of Hosts and rely on His strength to give you the victory for His glory.
