Pastor Dave takes the pulpit to present a message about servanthood. The gospel saves us into a life of service, first to God and then, as an expression of that service, to others.

Today, we explore the concept of joy through the lens of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. This passage reveals that it is God's will for us to experience continuous joy in our relationship with Him. We are guided by His Word on how to achieve this enduring state of joy in our lives.
Today, we turn our focus to generosity. While reading 2 Cor. 8:1-15 and 9:6-15, we will see that generosity comes from understanding the Gospel and being willing to help others, as God has helped us.
Today, we look at the shaping virtue of gratitude. All gospel benefits are received as undeserved gifts from a gracious God. The only appropriate response to such generous grace is gratitude. A thankful heart is cultivated the more we remember, understand, and appreciate all the ways the Lord has blessed us in the gospel and through his common grace, by which he “richly provides us with everything to enjoy.”
Today, we look at the shaping virtue of encouragement and how it's portrayed in the Bible. Encouragement is not merely patting someone on the back or offering a kind word. Biblical encouragement is lifting up the saints by holding up Christ and His gospel treasure in order to strengthen them for joyful service to him.
Pastor Dave York looks at the shaping virtue of humility. The Lord promises to bless the one “who is humble and contrite in spirit” (Isaiah 66:2). Humility is an accurate view of God and ourselves. It is foundational to all other shaping virtues, because without humility we will experience neither the desire nor the grace necessary to cultivate them. The gospel humbles us as we come to grasp that “by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). This humility before God prompts humility toward others. In keeping with Jesus’ example, we are commanded, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).
In Ephesians 4:7-16, the apostle Paul elaborates on how the Great Commission is intrinsically woven into the fabric of the Christian community. The culminating message is clear: when Christians, equipped with truth and driven by love, act in unity, they effectively demonstrate and declare the gospel of Jesus both near and far, fulfilling the Great Commission in a tangible manner.

We're excited to announce a fresh sermon series by our very own Pastor Dave York! As we journey deeper into the heart of the Gospel, it's time we turn our attention to one of the most powerful mandates Jesus gave His disciples: The Great Commission.
Overview Psalm 20 is a psalm of David, and it’s a prayer for victory. The psalm emphasizes trust in God rather than human means (like chariots and horses). The trust in God over human strength and the hope for divine assistance are vital themes in this psalm and for our lives.
The psalmist cries out to God in deep distress and sorrow. Throughout the psalm, the writer describes his feelings of isolation, abandonment, and overwhelming affliction. He continually seeks God, mentioning his constant prayer and seeking the Lord's attention. The tone is desperate, as the writer portrays himself as being among the dead and forgotten. This psalm offers an honest expression of deep anguish and serves as a reminder that it is okay to bring our raw emotions before God. It represents the real human experience of feeling distant from God, even when seeking Him earnestly.
No matter how bleak the situation, or how distant God may seem, we can always turn to Him and find reassurance in His promises. The key is to shift our focus from the size of our problems to the vastness of God's love and grace.
Psalm 47 is a song of praise and triumph, a declaration of the universal reign of God. The psalmist speaks of God's rule over all the nations and His sovereignty over the entire world, emphasizing the rightful worship and exaltation that should be given to God because of His supreme power and rule.
Psalm 33 is a beautiful text that points readers to one simple but profound idea: Praise the Lord, for our hope in Him is sure.
Psalm 102 acknowledges the fleeting and fragile nature of human existence but finds comfort and hope in the eternal nature of God. The psalmist's distress leads them to cry out to God, who remains constant amidst the temporal challenges of life. Ultimately, the psalm points to a future restoration and a renewed hope in God's enduring faithfulness.
In this psalm, we see the psalmist grappling with the tension between their faith in God's past faithfulness and their present experience of defeat and suffering. It highlights the reality that there are times in history and in individual lives when it may seem as though God is distant or not actively intervening on behalf of His people.
The big idea of this psalm is that there are times in history and in life when it seems like God is not helping His people. In times like these, faithfulness to God doesn’t always bring worldly achievement, but it is successful in the eyes of God.
Psalm 27 is a well-known psalm attributed to King David, and it expresses his trust in God's protection and deliverance. It beautifully captures the theme of finding strength and solace in God's presence amidst the trials and challenges of life.
