Welcome!
To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to all who will come, this church opens wide her doors and offers welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This Summer we’re taking a break to preach through a selection of Psalms. In August we’ll resume our series through 1st Corinthians (Pastor Brian) and 1st Thessalonians (Pastor Jeremy)

Whole Hearted WORSHIP: Psalm 138
July 19th 2026
Ice Breakers: What is something small or oddly specific that you are genuinely thankful for today?
David says, “I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart” (Psalm 138:1). Where are you most tempted to live halfheartedly or distractedly—in worship, family life, work, school, or relationships? What is one practical step you could take this week to become more fully present to God and others? See also Matthew 22:37–39.
Wholehearted worship includes specific gratitude. Name three particular gifts from God that you are thankful for today. How might regularly expressing gratitude change the atmosphere of your home, workplace, classroom, or friendships? See also 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18.
David praises God “before the gods” (Psalm 138:1), openly declaring his allegiance to the Lord. Where are you most hesitant to let others know that you trust Jesus? What would it look like to acknowledge your faith naturally and graciously in that setting—not obnoxiously, but without embarrassment? See also Romans 1:16 and 1 Peter 3:15–16.
Psalm 138:6 says that although the Lord is high, “he regards the lowly.” Who is easily overlooked in your family, workplace, school, church, or community? What is one concrete way you could reflect God’s attention and kindness toward that person this week? See also Philippians 2:3–5 and James 2:1–5.
Pride can appear as defensiveness, comparison, insecurity, an unwillingness to ask for help, or a lack of prayer. Where might pride be showing up in your life right now? What would humble dependence upon God and others look like in that situation? See also James 4:6–10 and 1 Peter 5:5–7.
David does not say that God will fulfill David’s plans; he trusts that “the LORD will fulfill his purpose for me” (Psalm 138:8). Is there a plan, relationship, responsibility, or uncertain future that you need to surrender to God? What would “glad submission”—trusting that God’s will is better than yours—look like practically? See also Proverbs 16:9, Romans 8:28–29, and James 4:13–15.
In what area of your character do you especially want God to continue his transforming work—your temper, anxiety, selfishness, lust, pride, patience, forgiveness, or something else? What ordinary practice or act of obedience could you embrace this week as you trust God to complete the work he began in you? See also Philippians 1:6 and 2:12–13.
