Sermon by Pastor John DeVries

Our hope in Christ is certain—but it is also alive. Rather than leaving us passive or disconnected from daily life, biblical hope transforms the way we live in the present as we await God's promised future.

In this sermon, John DeVries examines Psalm 33 and explains how living hope is grounded in God's eternal counsel, directed toward our future salvation, and expressed through joyful worship. As we trust the Lord whose plans never fail, we are called to live with confidence, obedience, and praise in anticipation of his coming kingdom.

Sermon by Pastor John DeVries

People have always asked the same question: What must I do to please God? Psalm 50 reveals that the answer is far deeper than religious activity or outward obedience.

In this sermon, John DeVries examines God's definition of true religion. The Lord is not impressed by empty rituals or external conformity, but delights in hearts transformed by his saving grace. Through the new covenant in Christ, God's people are freed to offer lives of genuine thankfulness—the sacrifice that truly honors him.

Sermon by Pastor John DeVries

God is often described as our refuge—but what if that means more than simply running to him in moments of crisis? Psalm 16 presents a richer picture: God is the refuge in whom his people are meant to live.

In this sermon, John DeVries shows how David embraces the Lord as his greatest good. By delighting in the people of God, following the Lord's counsel, and looking forward to an eternal inheritance, believers learn to live in the security, joy, and hope that are found only in Christ.
