The Psalms we live
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Hearts
The Psalms are the prayers of real people—offered in joy, in grief, in trust, in fear. In this series, we’re exploring how these ancient songs still speak into our everyday lives, offering words when we have none and pointing us back to the heart of God.
Sermons
Psalm 1 & 2
Date: February 15, 2026
Speaker: Senior Pastor Mark Addis
What if the very center of your Bible held the key to navigating our divided world? In a time when nations plot and cultures mock faith, these ancient Hebrew poems reveal a timeless truth: the choice between blessing and destruction isn't just personal—it's national. Discover why a UN Secretary General carried the Psalms alongside the world's peace charter, and how two "gateway" psalms show us the path from chaos to refuge in the King of Kings.
Psalm 13
Date: February 22, 2026
Speaker: Associate Pastor Kyle Relph
Ever felt like God has forgotten you in your darkest moment? David did too—and his raw, honest prayer in Psalm 13 might surprise you with how familiar it sounds. This isn't about having perfect faith; it's about what to do when your faith feels anything but perfect.
Psalm 34
Date: March 1, 2026
Speaker: Senior Pastor Mark Addis
What do you do when you're literally pretending to be insane just to save your life? David found himself drooling and scratching at doors to escape King Achish, only to end up hiding in a cave with 400 misfits and outcasts.
Yet from this place of complete desperation, he writes one of the most joyful thanksgiving psalms in Scripture, declaring "taste and see that the Lord is good."
Discover how David's most humiliating moment became his greatest testimony to God's faithfulness.
Psalm 90
Date: March 8, 2026
Speaker: Senior Pastor Mark Addis
What if you knew exactly how many days you had left to live? Moses, writing the only psalm attributed to him during Israel's 40-year wilderness wandering, grapples with life's brevity and God's eternality in a way that will challenge how you spend your time.
Psalm 127 & 128
Date: March 15, 2026
Speaker: Senior Pastor Mark Addis
Two lighthouses were built on the same treacherous rock in the English Channel, but only one survived the storms. The difference wasn't in the materials or the craftsmanship—it was in the foundation and the inscription carved into each cornerstone. These twin psalms reveal the secret of building a life, a home, and a legacy that can weather any storm, from the foundation up to the generations that follow.
