This week, Pastor Aaron goes through Psalm 84 with us. We see how this is a song of celebration of a family coming back to God. The Sons of Korah was written as a song of Right Standing and coming back to God. This psalm shows us how we may go through a period of hard circumstances, but God is always there to give us strength to come through the situations we find ourselves in.

Pastor Aaron walks us through Psalm 103, written by King David. This psalm, or song, is a reflection of a more mature King David looking back at his life and realizing God's steadfast love and grace through every part of his life. We see that "Bless the Lord" really means a humbling of yourself through a physical kneeling and reverence toward God. And through that blessing, we receive the steadfast love of God.

Our youth pastor, Corben, walks us through what it means to have Christ as the Head of our lives and the Head of our spiritual walk with Him.

Pastor Aaron begins a new series, for the summer, on songs or psalms of praise. He begins with Psalm 136, which would have been read during Passover and is a call and response song. This psalm repeats the Hebrew word, "Hesed" which we see in our Bibles as either Love or Mercy. This Hebrew word actually has 3 main meanings. Those are: Covenant Loyalty, Generous Grace and Deliberate Humility.

Pastor Aaron finishes up the book of Acts with a challenge to go into the world and be ambassadors for Christ.

Today we read more about Paul being shipwrecked on the island of Malta. Paul's faith in God's promise that he would make it to Rome is evident in the passage where Paul is bitten by the snake. We also see God's work through Paul with the miracles of healing that God worked through Paul.

Pastor Aaron walks us through the first part of Paul's journey from Caesarea to his shipwreck on Malta. It is a wonderful lesson on not listening to wise counsel as well as God's grace even when we do not listen to Him.

Pastor Aaron wraps up Acts chapter 26 with Paul's testimony in front of Festus and King Agrippa. Paul shares his own story as well as the Gospel and then invites King Agrippa, Festus and all his attendants to follow the risen Christ.
