Sermon: An Inheritance of Prime Real Estate
By: Pastor Ben Hulst
Psalm 16: "Keep me safe" is a simple, yet deep prayer of our hearts. Life is filled with threats that trigger our feelings of insecurity and of fear. How do we stay steady in the midst of it all? David leads us to recognize the confidence and contentment we can have as we fix our eyes on the Lord. He will not abandon us to decay, but will lead us to an eternal inheritance through Jesus.

May 21, 2023Sermon: The Home He Makes In UsBy: Pastor Ben HulstJohn 14.15-31: Jesus tells us that we will deal with trouble in this world, but take heart because he has overcome the world.

May 7, 2023Sermon: Who Images Whom?By: Pastor Ben HulstPsalm 50: We engage the second part of God's accusation found in Psalm 50. This issue is an insidious twisting of the mind and heart. It is a deceptive shift in thought that fails to contemplate the holiness of God and following his path. It leads to a divided self that only Christ can bring back together. This text calls us to humility, to remember our sin, but moreso to relish God's grace to lift us up to his glory.

Apr 30, 2023Sermon: God’s Hunger for FellowshipBy: Pastor Ben HulstPsalm 50: God's ultimate desire is to restore fellowship with his people. He will die for this. But sometimes we forget this and see our connection with God as first not about fellowship with him, but about him providing for our desires. He is gracious to provide for us, but he doesn't want us to forget the end goal - connection with God. Without that, we lose everything no matter how much we gain in this life. We must have an attitude of thanks, of contentment and not of discontent to recognize all that we have been given and to rest in him.

David guides us how to keep our hearts about us in the midst of feeling surrounded by the enemy with his traps and snares that seek to snag us.
