Ecclesiastes Overview - Stephen Muldrow

Ecclesiastes is not ultimately a book about meaninglessness or hopelessness, but about putting the cares and pursuits of this world into their proper perspective. The Teacher honestly wrestles with the frustrations, uncertainties, and fleeting nature of life “under the sun,” yet he repeatedly points us beyond what is temporary to the God who is sovereign over it all. Rather than teaching us to despise this life, Ecclesiastes helps us receive its ordinary joys as gifts from a good God. There is beauty in work, relationships, food, pleasure, and the simple moments of life. But those gifts were never meant to bear the weight of being ultimate. When we trust that God is in control, we can let go of our desperate attempts to control life ourselves and learn to enjoy what He has given us. Ecclesiastes calls us to live faithfully, gratefully, and joyfully in the present while resting in the God who holds both our lives and eternity in His hands.

Psalm 98: The Lamb and His Reward - Dustin Hunziker

Psalm 98 brings our journey through the Christ-centered Psalms to its fitting conclusion: worship. The Psalm begins with God’s people singing a new song because the Lord has won a marvelous victory, expands outward to the nations, and finally summons the whole creation to rejoice before the coming King. The salvation accomplished in Christ reveals both God’s mercy and His righteousness, gathers worshipers from every nation, and points forward to the day when Christ will make all things new. But what is the ultimate goal of it all? Not merely that we are saved, or even that we are happy. The goal is that the Lamb receives the reward of His suffering; a redeemed people from every tribe, language, people, and nation, worshiping the King who purchased them with His blood. Christ has come, Christ has conquered, and Christ is worthy. So the church sings now by faith, knowing that one day the nations and all creation will join the song when the King comes again.

Psalm 116: Thanksgiving and Praise! - Stephen Muldrow

Psalm 116: Thanksgiving and Praise What does a heart transformed by God’s grace sound like? Psalm 116 answers that question with joyful gratitude. The psalmist looks back on God’s faithful deliverance and responds with thanksgiving, praise, and a renewed commitment to walk before the Lord. His worship is not merely private but public, declaring God’s goodness before His people. In this sermon, we explore how the believer’s response to salvation is one of grateful obedience and joyful worship. We will consider what it means to “take the cup of salvation” as an expression of embracing God’s covenant mercies and why those who have experienced God’s steadfast love cannot help but call upon His name, fulfill their vows, and proclaim His praise. Psalm 116 reminds us that God’s saving grace always produces thankful hearts and lives that glorify Him.

Psalm 23:5-6 - The Shepherd’s Home - Dustin Hunziker

Psalm 23 begins in green pastures and ends in the Father’s house. The Shepherd who restores wandering sheep and walks with them through dark valleys has always been leading them somewhere. His purpose was never merely to preserve His people in the wilderness, but to bring them safely home. In these final two verses of Psalm 23 we discover that the greatest gift Christ gives His people is not merely His provision, but His presence. He prepares a table for them, pursues them with goodness and mercy all their days, and delights to welcome them into everlasting fellowship with Himself. From the prodigal son to John 14 and Revelation 21, Scripture proclaims one glorious reality: Christ wants His people with Him. One day, we will discover that we were not the only ones longing for home-the Shepherd was longing for it too.

Psalm 144: Glorious Shadows - Stephen Muldrow

We are shadows-brief, fragile, and quickly passing away. Yet Psalm 144 reveals the astonishing truth that the infinite God bends low to know us, train us, and deliver us. David weaves together the great themes of the Psalms-God as our Rock, our strength, our refuge, and our salvation, to remind us that every victory, every breath, and every blessing comes from His gracious hand. Glorious Shadows is an invitation to marvel at both our smallness and our Savior’s greatness. Though our lives are but a shadow, they can become glorious reflections of God’s power and presence when they are surrendered to Him and filled with His Spirit as we live for His glory moment by moment.

Psalm 23:1-4: My Shepherd-King

Psalm 23 may be the most familiar chapter in the Bible-but have we become so familiar with it that we’ve stopped marveling at it? This psalm is ultimately not about sheep, green pastures, or even David. It is about the Lord Jesus Himself. Every blessing in Psalm 23 exists to lead us beyond the gifts to the Giver. The greatest comfort of the Christian life is not that our valleys disappear, but that our Shepherd never does. In this first message on Psalm 23, we discover Christ as the Good Shepherd who gives His sheep nothing less than Himself. He leads the helpless, restores the wandering, walks with His people through the darkest valleys, and never ceases seeking those who belong to Him. If you’ve ever wondered whether Christ is enough for every season of life, Psalm 23 answers with a resounding yes.

Psalm 118: The Rejected or Received King - Dustin Hunziker

Psalm 118 is more than a song of thanksgiving—it is a prophetic announcement of the Messiah. During Passion Week, the crowds sang its words as Jesus entered Jerusalem. Days later, Jesus declared that He Himself was the rejected stone who would become the chief cornerstone. Peter would later proclaim this same truth before Israel’s leaders and apply it to every believer: the Christ rejected by men is the foundation God has established. In this sermon, we follow the thread of Psalm 118 through Matthew 21, Acts 4, and 1 Peter 2 to see how God’s verdict triumphs over man’s. Along the way, we discover not only who Christ is as the precious Cornerstone, but who we are as living stones being built into God’s dwelling place. Ultimately, every person must answer one question: Whose verdict will you trust-man’s, or God’s?

Psalm 103: Bless the Lord - Stephen Muldrow

Psalm 103 is one of Scripture’s greatest songs of praise, calling God’s people to remember His goodness and respond with wholehearted worship. David urges his own soul, “Bless the LORD,” not because life is always easy, but because God has shown immeasurable mercy to undeserving sinners. He forgives our iniquities, heals, redeems, satisfies, and crowns His children with steadfast love and compassion. Most wonderfully, the Lord does not deal with us according to our sins or repay us according to our iniquities. Instead, His mercy reaches higher than the heavens, His forgiveness removes our sins as far as the east is from the west, and His fatherly compassion rests upon those who fear Him. In this message, we are reminded every blessing we enjoy is rooted not in our merit, but in God’s abundant grace fulfilled in Christ. As we behold His mercy, our hearts are stirred to gratitude, humility, and joyful worship. May our response echo David’s own refrain: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name!”

Psalm 110: The Priest-King - Dustin Hunziker

Psalm 110 is the most quoted Old Testament passage in the New Testament, and for good reason. In this remarkable Messianic Psalm, David is given a glimpse into heaven itself as he overhears a divine conversation between the Father and the Son. Here we see Christ exalted at the right hand of God, reigning as King over all nations and bringing every enemy into subjection beneath His feet. Yet the greatest surprise of the Psalm is not merely Christ’s kingship—it is His priesthood. In this sermon, we explore the glory of Jesus Christ as the Exalted Priest-King. Unlike the temporary priests of the Old Covenant, Christ is a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. He offered Himself as the sacrifice for sin, ever lives to make intercession for His people, and even now carries them upon His heart. Whether you are facing grief, suffering, uncertainty, or simply need to be reminded of who Christ is today, Psalm 110 reveals a Savior who not only reigns in power but loves His people and prays for them still.

Psalm 147: It Is Good To Praise The Lord - Stephen Muldrow

The world praises strength, success, and self-sufficiency. God does not. Psalm 147 reveals a God who draws near to the brokenhearted, restores the wounded, and delights in those who humbly trust Him. Join us as we discover why praise is not reserved for life’s mountaintops. Even in seasons of suffering, loss, weakness, and uncertainty, God’s people have every reason to sing. Through Psalm 147, we will see that the God who counts the stars also cares for the hurting, and that His greatest delight is found in weak sinners who come to Him through faith in Jesus Christ.
