Pastor Brad Holmes explores how God meets us in our darkest moments through David's honest prayer of lament in Psalm 142. We discover the transformative power of bringing our complaints directly to God while holding onto trust in his faithfulness. Through David's example, we learn a three-part framework for honest conversation with God: complaint, asking, and trust. This message challenges us to bring our raw emotions to God, knowing he invites us to express ourselves honestly while anchoring our hope in his unchanging character.

Parables

The stories Jesus told and what they mean for your life today . Why did Jesus teach in stories? Because the deepest truths about God are often found in the ordinary moments of life. In the parables, Jesus takes everyday things, a lost sheep, a dinner party, a farmer planting seeds and uses them to show us what God is really like and what it means to follow him. This summer, we’re spending seven weeks in the parables from Luke’s gospel. Whether you’ve heard these stories a hundred times or this is your first time, you’re invited to come and hear them fresh. June 27/28–August 8/9
