Psalm 96 - Singing Your Way to Salvation

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen

Psalm 96 issues a triple command: sing, sing, sing the gospel to all nations. This isn't optional—it's our daily calling. Why sing? Because God is great, fearsome, and the Creator who puts all pretender gods to shame. The content of our song is eschatological: "Yahweh reigns!" Our evangelism must be theologically robust, personally experienced, and a summons to submit to Christ as King. When this gospel song goes forth, all creation—heavens, seas, fields, and forests—responds with resounding joy.

Psalm 95 - Shout Like A Sheep

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen

This psalm rings like church bells—first with joyful invitation, then with funeral solemnity. We're summoned to exuberant worship of our Creator-King and tender reverence before our Shepherd-Maker. But then the music shifts to warning: "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." The wilderness generation sang and bowed yet perished in unbelief. Their graves remind us that worship without obedience is deadly pretense. Discover why "today" is always now, and how Christ alone can bring hard hearts into God's promised rest.

Psalm 94 - Vengeance is Mine

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen

Why do the wicked prosper while God's people suffer? Psalm 94 confronts this age-old question with stunning honesty and surprising comfort. The psalmist cries out to the "God of vengeances" while corrupt rulers crush widows, murder orphans, and mock divine justice. Yet this isn't a psalm of despair—it's a declaration of certainty. God sees everything, knows everything, and will repay everything. In the meantime, His discipline brings blessing and His consolations delight the soul. Discover why heaven's apparent silence is actually preparing the greatest reversal in history.

Psalm 92 - The Palm Tree Protocol

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen

Why do the wicked seem to prosper while the righteous struggle? Psalm 92—the only psalm designated for the Sabbath—reveals what "brutish" people cannot grasp: the wicked flourish like grass, but only as a prelude to eternal destruction. Meanwhile, those planted in God's house grow like palm trees, bearing fruit even in old age. In this message, we discover why praising God is the most fitting activity of human existence, how Christ fulfills the psalm's Messianic imagery, and the secret to flourishing when everything around you withers.

Philippians 1:27-30 - Living Worthy

Featured Teacher: Scott Julian

The sermon explores themes of spiritual grants, suffering for Christ, and living a life worthy of the gospel. It highlights the dual nature of faith, emphasizing belief and the privilege of suffering. Unity among believers and courage in sharing the gospel are essential.

Philippians 1:12-18a - The Gospel Unchained

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen

What happens when the church's greatest missionary gets locked up? The gospel advances anyway. In this message, we explore how Paul's Roman imprisonment became an unexpected platform—reaching the elite Praetorian Guard, emboldening fearful believers, and demonstrating that faithful suffering speaks louder than comfortable freedom. From the Chinese church under communism to John Bunyan's prison cell, history confirms Paul's pattern: the obstacle becomes the way. Your chains might be God's strategy. Who are the captive audiences in your life?

Psalm 91 - The Devil's Favorite Psalm

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen

Satan quoted Psalm 91 to Jesus in the wilderness—making it the only Scripture the devil directly cites in all of the Bible. So whose psalm is it? In this message, we discover that Psalm 91 belongs first to Christ, and then by faith to all who are in Him. From Spurgeon's experience during the London cholera epidemic to Corrie ten Boom's miraculous provision in a Nazi concentration camp, we explore how God's promises of protection find their ultimate fulfillment in the resurrection. The devil may twist Scripture, but Jesus knows it better—and He has claimed its promises for you.
