Psalm 8 opens and closes with the same declaration: O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. Everything in between is a reminder that the God who spoke the universe into existence is mindful of you and has given you a purpose within it.

Ryan walks us through three grounding truths: God's glory should bookend our days, God's care for us is personal and intentional, and the dominion he's given us is meant to push his kingdom forward. The question heading into this new season is simple. what are you doing with what God has given you?

Pastor Jordan unpacks why that matters and what we've been missing.

In just seven verses, this psalm reveals Jesus not as the Messiah we would have designed, but as the Priest King who exists on his own terms. He is both the ruling King who conquers every enemy and the eternal High Priest who intercedes for his people and the early church built their entire understanding of Jesus on this very psalm.

So what happens when we see Jesus on His own terms? And what happens when we don't?

Psalm 91 has comforted soldiers, missionaries, and grieving families for generations, but Pastor Jordan shows it's more than a promise of protection. It's an invitation into relationship.

In this message, part of our "I Love This Song" series through the Psalms, we see three truths: God is our covering, our guardian, and our keeper. And ultimately, this Psalm points beyond us to Jesus, the only one who has ever perfectly abided in the Father, and who invites us to abide in Him.

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." — Psalm 91:1

In this message from our summer "I Love This Song" series through the Psalms, Pastor Jordan opens up Psalm 127—a Song of Ascent written by Solomon—and asks the question every one of us needs to wrestle with: are we building our homes, our families, our futures on our own strength, or on the Lord?

Solomon reminds us that unless Yahweh builds the house, those who labor, labor in vain. From the Tower of Babel to the powerful testimony of MLB star Darryl Strawberry, Pastor Jordan walks through what it really looks like to surrender our plans, our dreams, and our families to the Master Builder.

Scripture Referenced: Psalm 127, Psalm 37:23, Proverbs 3:5-6, Proverbs 16:9, Proverbs 29:18, Romans 8:28-29, Matthew 9, Genesis 11-12

But Pastor Jordan shows us that if you skip past what the Bible says about God's judgment, you'll miss the entire point of the cross.

In Psalm 58, David launches a grievance against the corruption, injustice, and brokenness of the world and asks God to act. This message unpacks why that cry still resonates today, what Scripture actually teaches about the coming judgment, and the most important truth of all: Jesus is the only judge in history who ever took the verdict of the accused.

Your judgment day is either behind you or ahead of you. The question is, which one is it?

The psalm opens and closes with the same command to give thanks, because gratitude is not our natural posture. Left to ourselves, we drift toward entitlement, and when we stop being thankful, we start replacing God with other sources of comfort and security. The Hebrew word behind the phrase steadfast love is chesed, a word that carries the weight of merciful kindness, loyal love, and covenant faithfulness. This love is not conditional, does not expire, and does not depend on how well you have performed or how many times you have failed.


The psalmist writes from a place of genuine suffering, describing enemies surrounding him and circumstances that looked impossible. Yet he looks back and traces God's hand through all of it, declaring that God answered him and set him free. This is the nature of faith in hard seasons. You may not be able to see what God is doing in the moment, but you can trust His heart, and when you look back, you will see His fingerprints everywhere. God's discipline, the psalmist acknowledges, can be severe, but it is never without purpose. He is a loving Father who cares too much to let you build your life on something that will not hold.


The most theologically significant verse in the psalm is verse 22, which Jesus quoted directly to the Pharisees in Matthew 21: the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. In ancient construction, the cornerstone was both the foundation everything rested on and the orientation point that determined the alignment of the entire structure. Jesus is that cornerstone. When He is not the foundation of your life, everything else will eventually show the cracks. The word hosanna, shouted by the crowds as Jesus rode into Jerusalem, comes directly from this psalm. It means simply, Oh God, save us. That cry is still the right prayer today, and it is never too late to build your life on Him.

David's confidence was not rooted in his circumstances but in the character of God. His one desire was not comfort or success but to dwell in the presence of God and behold His beauty. Real faith is not built in dramatic moments. It is built in the small, daily acts of faithfulness and obedience. Waiting on God is not passive resignation. It is active, trusting patience that refuses to leave His presence. The presence David longed for in the temple was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who became broken so that broken people could be made whole.

He came to make dead people alive. Because of that, the Christian life demands an active response.

Pastor Zach gave us three challenges: Reorient your heart toward Christ and away from sin. Strip off the old self, sinful passions and pride block the fullness of Christ in your life. And clothe yourself in godliness; reflecting, resting, rejoicing, and running for your Savior every single day.

The Christian life is a daily decision to put off what no longer belongs to you and put on who Christ has called you to be.

Colossians 3:1-17

Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good; He came to make dead people alive.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose. - Jim Elliot

1. I need to reorient my heart’s pursuits & passions toward my eternal dwelling in Christ’s presence and His glory.

Flee sin
Confess sin
Repent of sin
Put to death sin
Resist temptation
Forsake sinful ways
Hate evil
Pursue holiness
Walk by the Spirit

2. We must strip off sinful passions & sinful pride, to experience the fullness of Christ.

3. We must clothe ourselves in Godliness.
a. We must put on spiritual clothes in which we accurately reflect our Savior (12-14)
b. We must put on spiritual clothes in which we can comfortably rest in our Savior (15)
c. We must put on spiritual clothes in which we can gratefully rejoice in our Savior (16)
d. We must put on spiritual clothes in which we can actively run for our Savior (17)

Because when Christ is your foundation, nothing else can compare.

Women have a role to play and it's not on the sideline.

Judges 4:1-3


Look at the sequence of things:

  1. They were living against God
  2. They wanted God to help them

Look at the wording of things:

  1. They were doing "what was evil" in God’s eyes
  2. They "cry out" to God for help

Look at the state of things:

  1. They believe living however they want is freedom
  2. They are in a state of corruption, brokenness, and chaos

Detaching from God doesn’t lead to our destiny, it leads to destruction


Judges 4:4-7


Deborah was a divinely gifted woman

Deborah was a declarer of truth

Deborah was devoted to God


Judges 4:8-10


Barack’s tragically of misplaced hope


“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” - Psalm 20:7


In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. - Judges 21:25


And the LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king.” - 1 Samuel 8:7


We're left on a cliff hanger…

…until the cross

]]> No The Carpenter's Cross: More Than a Carpenter | John 20:1–9 3 3 The Carpenter's Cross: More Than a Carpenter | John 20:1–9 full bc9a899e-f913-4c0b-9891-9853c8cb6497 https://share.transistor.fm/s/6538c2b6 Jesus of Nazareth was a first-century carpenter - no army, no empire, no earthly legacy. So how did he become the hinge of all human history? This Easter, Pastor Jordan walks us through John 20 and answers three essential questions: Why believe the resurrection? What does it mean? And how can you receive it?

The resurrection isn't just a historical claim — it's a wall torn down. And the invitation this Easter is to stop staring at it and cross over.

Jesus didn't just teach love — He defined it on His knees. In John 13, hours before the cross, the King of Kings stripped off His outer garment, wrapped a servant's towel around His waist, and washed the feet of the very men who would deny and betray Him. Pastor Jordan walks us through the final hours before the Passover and the final command Jesus left His disciples: love one another - just as I have loved you. If God is love, then His people will be known by the same love.

In this message from The Carpenter's Cross series, Pastor Jordan unpacks Philippians 2:1-11 and shows us that the key to unity is always humility.

Jesus, though equal with God, emptied Himself and took on the form of a servant and when we stay close to Him, His nature begins to nurture us to look more like Him.
In this sermon, you'll discover:

  • The goal Paul sets for the church: genuine, Christ-centered unity

  • The trap that steals it: selfish ambition and vain conceit

  • The key that unlocks it: the radical humility of Jesus

  • The result: God exalts the humble — every knee will bow
