Pastor Phill preaches this Sunday (October 23, 2022) on Psalm 56. The 56^th sermon in the Psalm series, pastor Phill’s big idea this week is that even in the face of death, God’s word will transform our fear into faith and faithfulness. David reminds us of how an infinite and all-powerful God also intimately knows and loves His people. God’s Word became flesh, Jesus Christ, who after facing his own death, transforms believers today! The Scripture readings from our worship service were from 2 Corinthians 1:3-11, 1 Samuel 21:10-15, and Jude 24-25..
