April 12, 2026 Associate Pastor Erich Burch   Psalm 16:1-3   Preserve me from the world; let me not be carried away with its excitements; suffer me not to be before its blandishments, nor to fear its frowns. Preserve me, from the devil; let him not tempt me above what I am able to bear. Preserve me from myself; keep me from growing envious, selfish, high-minded, proud, slothful. Preserve me from those evils into which I see others run, and preserve me, from those evils into which I am myself most apt to run; keep me from evils known and from evils unknown. -Charles Spurgeon Psalm 16:4-6 There is a distinct echo of the story of the Fall in the phrase, “The pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied;” since very similar words were spoken to Eve in the Hebrew of Genesis 3:16. There could hardly be a more ominous allusion to what follows from apostasy. -Derek Kidner Psalm 16:7-8  Romans 12:1-2  Me thinks I hear a sweet still voice within me, saying, This is the way, walk in it; and this in the night season, when I am wrapped in rest and silence. -John Trapp Psalm 16:9-11 2 Timothy 1:8-10  Acts 2:25-31   (NASB 2020)

March 1, 2026  Associate Pastor Eric Burch   Psalm 121   I try to pray But the words aren't coming out the way they used to Did I lose my faith? God do I still trust You?   I try to worship But when I lift my hands it all just feels so empty Is it the heavy of the world? Or is it just me?   Though I've sung a thousand times You're perfect and You'll never leave my side   Can I be honest? I just wanna know that You still got this When all I'm holding onto is a promise God, You promised that You'll never leave me When I'm scared of the dark, You're right there with me Your kindness never fails, it's always reaching after me But right now, God, all I need Is to be honest   Oh, I’ve heard stories Of you showing up when it was least expected Every time you prove your timing always perfect And the wait was worth it And again and again and again See your power coming through You bring life to what is dead No, there’s nothing You can’t do I believe you did it then So won’t You do it now?   Can I be honest? I just wanna know that You still got this When all I'm holding onto is a promise..     From Where Does My Help Come?   Psalm 121:1-2    My Help Comes from the Lord   Psalm 121:3-4 1 Kings 18:27  1 Kings 18:36 Psalm 121:5 Psalm 121:6-8   All: I will raise my eyes to the mountains; from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord. Lead: He will not allow your foot to slip; He who watches over you will not slumber. Behold, He who watches over all His people will neither slumber nor sleep.  All: My help comes from the Lord. Leader: The Lord is your protector; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. All: My help comes from the Lord. Leader: The sun will not beat down on you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. All: My help comes from the Lord. Leader: The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time and forever. Amen   (NASB 2020)

February 1, 2026  Associate Pastor Eric Burch   “The tendency of the sciences has long been an increasing proclivity to separation and dismemberment …The mathematician turns away from the chemist; the chemist from the naturalist; and thus science, even mere physical science, loses all traces of unity.” -William Whewell   John 6:28-30 Romans 15:5-6 John 14:6-7 1 Corinthians 1:17  Matthew 7:21-23 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 Isaiah 29:14   All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, All our ignorance brings us closer to death, But nearness to death, no nearer to God, Where is the life we have lost in living. – TS Eliot   1 Corinthians 1:20-24  1 Corinthians 25 1 Corinthians 26-28 1 Corinthians 26-28   “There is a difference between a perfect human life lived on earth and a personal life with God lived on earth; the former grasps for that which it reaches, the latter grasp for that which it can never reach. The former chains us to the world by its very completeness; the latter cause us to fling ourselves unperplexed to God.” – Oswald Chambers   (NASB 2020)    

January 25, 2026 Associate Pastor Eric Burch   Matthew 4:12-17 Isaiah 9:1a John 8:12   Why Fishermen?  Matthew 4:18-22 Matthew 19:23-25   They Immediately Left Their Nets? “I know God more certainly, and I can enjoy God more deeply. Faith is not doubt-free, but there is a genuine assurance of faith that is truly beyond a shadow of doubt.” – Os Guiness Matthew 9:24   Overcoming Doubt “Leading a healthy life is more than being vaccinated for every possible disease. Equally faith grows and flourishes when it is well nourished and exercised, so the best way to resist doubt is to buildup faith rather than simply fight against doubt” – Os Guiness Isaiah 41:10 Jeremiah 32:17 Luke 1:36-37 Psalm 121:1-2 Hebrews 13:5-6 Psalm 119:159-160 Isaiah 45:19 Proverbs 30:5-6 Philippians 4:6-7   “Nothing ages more quickly than gratitude.” – Martin Luther   (NASB 2020)

September 28, 2025 Associate Pastor Louise Waller Associate Pastor Eric Burch   True Contentment 1 Timothy 6:6-19   First command: "Pursue righteousness" Grow in virtue    Second command: "Fight the good fight of Faith" Rejoice in God and trust Him.    Third command: "Take hold of the Eternal Life"  Live it now!   (NIV)     Finding Contentment   Serenity Prayer God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference; living one day at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it: Trusting that you will make all things right If I surrender to your will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next.   Next: Living one day at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace. If I surrender to your will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next 1 Timothy 6:6 The equation: Surrender to God’s will in our life + accept the hardship that comes our way as God’s will for us = Contentment & Contentment leads to Godliness 1 Timothy 6:7-10 1 Timothy 2:11-12 (NASB 2020)
