The culture preaches loudly to us that we are insignificant. As a result, we spend so much time playing the comparison game, trying to measure up to others and their lives. Are you questioning whether or not you are valuable? As we look to the Psalms, we see that these thoughts are not unique to us; David wrestled with the same struggle.

Have you ever noticed how many contradicting statements we use regularly? There is one phrase used too often regarding the church that a believer should never speak. Psalm 96 provides a clear model for our Christian life and outlines what a lifestyle of worship entails.

We have moments in life we wish we could go back and change, undo, or relive for a variety of reasons. In Psalm 51, we see David's raw emotions revealed as He seeks forgiveness for the serious mistakes He has made.

It likely doesn't take much effort to think about a time you felt betrayed; in fact, that is typically where most of our reflection ends, when we were wronged. But if we want to handle betrayal honestly, there is much more that we need to cover.

Have you ever been in the midst of a bad situation and asked yourself, "Where is God? Has He forgotten about me?" The truth is God has not abandoned you, He has not forgotten about you, and although sometimes our circumstances can get that bad, many times it's simply a battle raging in our head.

This week, we turn to Psalm 1, focusing on the clear warnings and rich promises it offers. We’ll explore how its message speaks not only to our lives today, but also to the eternal outcomes shaped by our choices.

Over the course of our "Lake Life" series, we have covered many aspects of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. This week, before we move forward, we are taking time to hit the pause button and reflect on lessons learned.

In the final conversation Jesus had with His disciples before ascending into Heaven, He left them with one simple charge, "go and make disciples". Today, many Christians fail miserably at this command, mainly because we don't even try. We allow fear and excuses to be the reason we don't share the greatest news the world will ever know. This week, we look at this important command and how our faith is affected by our willingness to share.
