Trust & Delight: Four Marks of a Christian
Psalm 16 is a psalm of confidence and joy in God’s presence. David declares that the Lord is his portion, his refuge, and his delight. Even in uncertainty, he rests secure, knowing that God will not abandon him to death but lead him into the path of life. This psalm points beyond David to Christ — whose resurrection guarantees eternal joy for all who trust in Him.
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
In this message, we look at Hebrews 11:13–16 — a passage that reminds us we are strangers and exiles on the earth, looking forward to a better country, a heavenly one. Faith doesn’t just look back at what God has done; it looks ahead to what He has promised. As we study this text, may we be stirred to live as people who belong to another kingdom — confident that God is not ashamed to be called our God, for He has prepared a place for us.
Do You Know What You Have?

world, which enables us to endure all things while we’re in this world.
There is a God in Heaven
In spite of current appearances, God is in control, and His Kingdom will win in the end. God’s people need to be reminded of this now, just as they did in Daniel’s time.
Battle Gear, Part 3
For a Christian to stand firm, he must maintain his hope in final salvation.
Trusting God in Barren Times
1:1 There was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim of the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephrathite. 2 He had two wives. The name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other, Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord…
