Covenant Grace

Rev. Darin Stone continues our series from the Psalms of Ascent, this week featuring Psalm 130. When we find ourselves in the pit of despair due to our own actions, there are three wrong ways to handle our guilt and shame. 1. Compare ourselves with others 2. Relativize the truth about our sin. 2. We wallow in our guilt instead of accepting God's grace. We need to remember that as vile as we are, there is more grace with God than there is sin in us. We need to hope in the Lord and not ourselves. Unfortunately the 8/16 sermon is not available due to technical difficulties.

Rev. Darin Stone continues our series from the Psalms of Ascent. In Psalm 128 we are to remember that we are more alive and fruitful when Christ is Lord over all parts of our lives.

Rev. Darin Stone continues our series from the Psalms of Ascent. Psalm 127 reminds us that unless God is at the center of something, it is in vain. We need to build on the foundation of God's promises found in His Word. God made us to actively rest in Him. God is in control. We are to humbly depend on Him and work faithfully for His glory. Parenting is a key area where we need to actively rest in the Lord and be thankful stewards of God's gift of children.

Rev. Darin Stone teaches from Psalm 126 in the 7th message from a series of sermons from the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134). This psalm serves as a reminder of how good God is to his people as He turns our tears into joy. God's grace is inexhaustible. Joy comes from remembering what God has done in our lives and what He promises to do now and in the future. The Christian life is a dependent not self-reliant life. When drought comes we need to remember past joy and pray for restoration, anticipating an answer.

In this 6th message from a series of messages from the the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134), Rev. Darin Stone teaches from Psalm 125.

He will sustain us forever. We should pray for peace and justice, that His promises would bear fruit in our lives.

Gospel principle.

In this fourth sermon in a series of messages from the the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134). Rev. Darin Stone explores Psalm 123 and God's incredible mercy. The cost of this mercy is Jesus' blood. He takes the judgment, we get the mercy. It's far better to be despised by the world and in need of God's mercy, than esteemed by the world and under His judgment.
