The Spiritual Watershed
This summer, we invite you to join us as we explore Psalms 1-10, together as a church family. Psalms 1 and 2 serve as the introductory pillars to the entire Psalter, laying a foundational understanding. Meanwhile, Psalms 3-10 form a group known as "The Chain of Trust."
St. Augustine, around AD 400, the greatest theologian of the first millennium, expressed his deep love for God through the Psalms, saying..."How my love for Thee, O God, was kindled by those psalms!" The 16th-century Reformer Martin Luther referred to the Psalter as..."...a little Bible...an entire summary of it comprised in one booklet." In 1557, John Calvin described the Psalms as "An Anatomy of the Soul," noting that..."...for there is not an emotion of which anyone can be conscious that is not here as represented in a mirror...all the griefs, sorrows, fears, doubts, hopes, cares, perplexities" we experience in the Christian life."
Let's learn to trust God in our fallen world through these timeless songs and discover how they can reignite our love for God, reflect our deepest emotions, and strengthen our hope in Him.

This Week's Sermon:
Have you considered the sober reality of standing at the Final Judgment, awaiting God's verdict on your life, with one of two eternal destinies at stake--Heaven or Hell? Martin Luther once wisely said, "I make it the business of every day to prepare for my final day." Psalm 1 gives us critical insight into living a blessed and fruitful life, with eternity in view.
