Sermons from July 2025
Psalm 22:1-21a The Cry from the Cross
PM Service 27 July 2025 “Where do you turn when life falls apart? Do you cry out into the void, or to a God who hears — even when He seems silent?” Psalm 22 begins with a cry that has echoed down through the centuries, reaching from David’s distress all the way to the cross of Christ: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (v. 1) These words were first spoken by David in a season of deep…
10 Be Reconciled to God – 2 Corinthians 5:11-21
AM Worship Service, 27 July 2025 Have you ever experienced a relationship so damaged that you wondered if it could ever be whole again? Maybe it was a friend who betrayed your trust… a spouse from whom you’ve grown distant… a parent or child with whom there’s only silence where love once lived. Most of us know the ache of brokenness—not just in relationships, but in the world itself. Nations are divided. Families fall apart. Communities fracture. Even within our…
Psalm 21 The King Rejoices in God’s Strength
PM 20 July 2025 We live in a world that exalts personal achievement. From the time we are children, we are taught to take pride in our own strength—our accomplishments, our intelligence, our success. Politicians speak of their track records. Athletes boast of their records. Even in the church, we can begin to think of our spiritual victories as something we’ve earned. But Psalm 21 begins on a different note altogether. The king—God’s anointed, the most powerful man in Israel—rejoices…
09 Living by Faith in the Hope of Glory – 2 Cor 4:16-5:10
AM Sermon 20 July 2025 We live in a world that is constantly reminding us of our weakness. Bodies wear down. Minds grow tired. Circumstances change. Relationships strain. And death looms on the horizon. The temptation to lose heart is very real. Paul knew this. His ministry was marked by suffering—beatings, imprisonments, hunger, slander, and even the daily pressure of concern for the churches. And yet, in the face of all this, he writes: “So we do not lose heart”…
Psalm 20 The King, the People, and the Day of Trouble
PM Worship Service, 13 July 2025 What do you do when trouble looms on the horizon—when the future is uncertain, when threats seem stronger than your strength, and when your leaders are under pressure and your nation or church faces trial? Psalm 20 was written for just such a moment—a moment when the people of God stood together on the brink of conflict, not with boastful arrogance, but with prayerful dependence. Psalm 20 is a royal psalm—a liturgical prayer offered…
08 Treasures in Jars of Clay – 2 Corinthians 4:7-15
AM Sermon, 13 July 2025 Brothers and sisters, do you ever feel fragile, like you’re barely holding together? You strive to serve, parent, or persevere, but wonder if your weak, ordinary life can matter eternally. You’re not alone. The apostle Paul felt this too, yet he knew God’s secret: He uses frail vessels to carry His glory. In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul reveals his own struggles—harassed, perplexed, attacked. Yet through his weakness, Christ’s power shone. Just before, in verse 6,…
Psalm 19 – The Heavens, The Word, and The Heart
PM Worship Service, 06 July 2025 Brothers and sisters, let me ask you a question: What if God had never spoken? What if we lived in a world full of beauty and order—but no voice, no meaning, no direction from our Creator?But praise God—that’s not our world. Psalm 19 is a beautiful reminder that our God speaks. He speaks in the heavens above, in the Scriptures before us, and even in the conscience within us. He has not left Himself…
07 The Light of the Gospel – 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
AM Worship Service, 07 July 2025 Brothers and sisters, have you ever felt like giving up?Perhaps you’ve prayed for a loved one for years, and their heart seems no softer today than when you first began. Maybe you’ve labored in Christian service—teaching, witnessing, parenting, praying—but the fruit seems small, the opposition great, and your strength almost gone. The Apostle Paul knew that temptation. He knew what it meant to be hard-pressed, misunderstood, opposed, and even betrayed—especially in the work of…
