  • When The Outlook Looks Bad, Try The Uplook! Psalm 121
    Jul 2 2026

    Where do you turn when life feels overwhelming? In this powerful message from Psalm 121, we are reminded that our greatest help doesn't come from ourselves, our circumstances, or the things of this world—it comes from the Lord.

    Pastor Shawn Davis explores one of the most encouraging Psalms in Scripture, revealing how God is both our Helper and our Keeper. As the ancient pilgrims lifted their eyes toward Jerusalem, we are challenged to lift our eyes above fear, anxiety, distractions, and discouragement to the One who never sleeps, never slumbers, and never leaves His people.

    In this message you'll discover:

    • Why your focus determines your spiritual direction.
    • What it means for God to be your Helper.
    • How the Lord faithfully keeps and preserves His people.
    • Why looking up in faith changes everything.
    • Biblical encouragement for overcoming worry, fear, and life's uncertainties.

    No matter what you're facing today, Psalm 121 reminds us that our Creator is watching over us, sustaining us, and leading us every step of the journey.

    Scripture: Psalm 121 (KJV)

  • Faithful - Stop Burying What God Has Given You
    Jun 28 2026

    What does it really mean to be faithful? In this message from Jesus' Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25), Pastor Shawn Davis challenges the common idea that faithfulness is simply showing up. Instead, Jesus teaches that true faithfulness is measured by how we invest what God has entrusted to us. Every believer has been given gifts, opportunities, influence, and resources for Kingdom purposes. The question isn't how much you've been given—it's what you're doing with it. Discover how fear, excuses, comfort, and personal preferences can keep us from fulfilling God's calling, and learn why living ready for Christ's return means actively multiplying what He's placed in your hands. This message will encourage you to stop burying your God-given potential and start investing in what has eternal value.

  • The Battle For My Worship
    Jun 25 2026

    We were created for more than simply making it through life—we were created to worship. But if that's true, why does worship often feel like such a struggle?

    In this message, we explore Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well in John 4 and uncover the spiritual battle that competes for our attention, affection, and devotion. From constant distractions and anxiety to feelings of unworthiness, discover why worship doesn't always come naturally and how God calls us to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

    If you've ever felt distant from God or wondered why it's so hard to stay focused on Him, this episode offers practical, biblical encouragement to help you refocus your heart on the One who is seeking true worshipers.
