Lean on Me - Psalm 23 - Songs for the Road

It may be the most famous chapter in the whole bible. Whether you’re a Christian or not, if you’ve ever been to a funeral, you’ve probably heard it. Psalm 23 is an iconic passage of scripture, and for some great reasons! This Psalm teaches us so much about God and who He is as our shepherd, companion, host, and victor.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Psalm 15 - Songs for the Road

They say that the smartest person in the room is not necessarily the person who knows the most. It’s the person who asks the best questions! In our Psalm today, David asks the most important question that anyone can ever ask – What does it take to be in a relationship with God? The answer to this question matters more than anything else in all creation.

What a Wonderful World - Psalm 8 - Songs for the Road

At no other point in human history have people had the ability to marvel that the majesty and glory of our world. Even “normal people” can travel and visit some of the most beautiful places on earth. We have telescopes that show us parts of the universe that are beyond description. In light of all of this…what are people that God cares about us? Why do we rate at all?

Livin' on a Prayer - Psalm 5 - Songs for the Road

When you pray, what sort of language do you use? Many people think that there are certain ways that we must pray. Words that must be used if we want to do it right. If there’s no “thees” and “thous” in there, a lot of us don’t think it’s a valid prayer. The Psalms show us something very different. There is a realness and a rawness to our prayers built on the character of God Himself. As we lean in to Him, it changes how we talk to Him!

Help! - Psalm 3 - Songs for the Road

One of the most primal emotions we experience in this life is fear. In Psalm 3, David addresses this powerful emotion of fear. He shows us that there are two different levels to fear and 4 ways to overcome that fear. As we lean into what God is teaching us in this Psalm, we can find a way to live above our fears and anxieties and find peace and rest for our souls.

Walk This Way - Psalm 1 - Songs for the Road

Ever get a song stuck in your head? Of course you have! It happens all the time. We hear a song, or we think of something and a musical refrain pops into our head, and then we can’t seem to get it out! What if that same thing happened with scripture? What if a verse or two popped into our heads and we couldn’t get them out? How might that change our day-to-day life? That was some of the original intent with the hymnbook of the Bible known as The Book of Psalms. These scriptures, originally set to music, became the thoughts and language of the day for God’s people. Oh, that this could happen again today! Our Pastor to Student, Stacey Walker, continues our series, "Songs for the Road" today.

Don't Stop Believing - Psalm 19 - Songs for the Road

Ever get a song stuck in your head? Of course you have! It happens all the time. We hear a song, or we think of something and a musical refrain pops into our head, and then we can’t seem to get it out! What if that same thing happened with scripture? What if a verse or two popped into our heads and we couldn’t get them out? How might that change our day-to-day life?

Why I Believe in the Bible - Prove It

What if the Bible is fake? What if it’s just a collection of myths and legends written by some guys in a cave somewhere? What if it’s been changed so much we don’t even know what is real and what isn’t anymore? These questions, and others like it, are some of those deep questions that can really rattle a person’s faith. Are there answers? Why should we even believe the Bible anymore?

Why I Believe in Creation - Prove It

When Charles Darwin penned his book On the Origin of Species, he launched nothing short of a revolution that has impacted every facet of life down to our day. His ideas have permeated math, science, history, and even theology and has created this idea that science and the Bible cannot coexist. To be scientific means to be in opposition to God. What if that were not true, though? What if the study of science lead to deeper faith in God? Can they coexist?

Why I Believe in the God of the Bible - Prove It

There are over 320 million “gods” in the world today and 22 major religious systems among the 7 billion people on this planet. With all those religions and gods to worship, how can the Bible claim that there is only ONE way to heaven…that there is only ONE God? Is it logical to claim that the God of the Bible is really who He says He is? How can we believe that there is only one God and one Lord, Jesus Christ?
