  Ashton Earwood- "Summer in the Psalms" - Sermon 7 (7/19/2026) 20.07.2026 40мин

  Before God is concerned with what He wants to do through you, He is deeply concerned about who He is making you into. Psalm 101 opens with King David asking not what kind of kingdom he wanted to build, but what kind of man he needed to become. That same question belongs to every follower of Christ. A life that reflects God begins with worship, grows through personal holiness, and is shaped by the relationships we choose. Jesus lived the perfect life David longed to live, and through Him, God ...

  Pastor Derek Berry "Summer in the Psalms" - Sermon 6 (7/12/2026) 13.07.2026 44мин

  It is easy to focus on today's worries while forgetting yesterday's blessings. In Psalm 103, David preaches directly to himself, commanding his own soul to remember the goodness of God. Remembering is not just a sentimental exercise but a spiritual discipline that strengthens faith, deepens worship, and shifts perspective. God does not simply forgive partially. He forgives completely, removing sin as far as the east is from the west. He also heals, redeems, crowns, satisfies, and renews those...

  Pastor Derek Berry "Summer in the Psalms" - Sermon 5 (7/5/2026) 05.07.2026 48мин

  Fear often grows not from what we know, but from what we cannot see. Psalm 27 shows us that unshakeable confidence is not built on easy circumstances but on the unchanging character of God. David, surrounded by enemies and uncertainty, chose to fix his eyes on God as his light, salvation, and strength rather than on the chaos around him. His greatest desire was not to escape his problems but simply to remain in God's presence. He worshiped before the victory arrived, prayed honestly without p...

  Pastor Derek Berry "Summer in the Psalms" - Sermon 4 (6/28/2026) 29.06.2026 45мин

  Most of us carry something we wish we could change, but failure does not have to be final. Psalm 51 gives us one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture, written by David after a devastating season of sin and cover-up. Genuine repentance begins with owning your sin completely, appealing to God's mercy rather than your own merit, and recognizing that every sin ultimately grieves the heart of God. David did not ask God to improve him. He asked God to remake him entirely, using the Hebrew...

  Pastor Derek Berry "Summer in the Psalms" - Sermon 3 (6/21/2026) 22.06.2026 41мин

  Psalm 128 describes a blessed life that begins not with wealth or success, but with a genuine fear of God. To fear God means to revere Him, honor Him, and walk with Him daily in every area of life. That daily walk shapes a man's character, influences his family, and produces a legacy that outlasts him. Like Enoch, who walked faithfully with God for 300 years, or Joseph, who quietly shaped the Son of God through obedience and example, the greatest thing a man can leave behind is not possession...

  Pastor Derek Berry "Summer in the Psalms" - Sermon 2 (6/14/2026) 15.06.2026 46мин

  Life inevitably brings unexpected storms - health crises, financial pressures, relationship struggles, and uncertainty about the future. When everything seems to be falling apart, Psalm 46 reminds us that God is our refuge, strength, and ever-present help in times of trouble. The word refuge means shelter and protection, painting a picture of running to God for safety. While everyone runs somewhere when trouble comes, believers are called to run to God as their safe place. God's presence chan...

  Pastor Derek Berry "Summer in the Psalms" - Sermon 1 (6/7/2026) 15.06.2026 47мин

  Psalm 1 reveals that life offers only two paths: the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. The blessed person avoids ungodly influences and instead delights in God's Word, developing deep spiritual roots like a tree planted by rivers of water. In contrast, the ungodly are like chaff blown by the wind, lacking substance and direction. Our daily choices determine which path we take, and every path leads somewhere. The direction we choose today determines our eternal destination, makin...

  Pastor Derek Berry "The Light of the World" - (5/31/2026) 01.06.2026 40мин

  Jesus declares Himself as the light of the world, offering clarity in life's confusion and uncertainty. Just as physical darkness makes navigation difficult, spiritual darkness leaves us stumbling through important decisions. The light of Christ reveals that Jesus is God's promised and perfect Son who came to display divine power and defeat sin and death. However, knowing about Jesus isn't enough - we must actively follow Him through faith and repentance. Many people today want Christ without...

  Pastor Derek Berry "What are You Living For?" - (5/24/2026) 27.05.2026 41мин

  Paul challenges us to examine what we're truly living for in a world obsessed with accumulating possessions and chasing success. Writing from prison, he declared that everything he once valued - education, status, achievements - became worthless compared to knowing Christ. The difference between the rich young ruler who walked away sad and Zacchaeus who joyfully gave away half his possessions shows how encountering Jesus transforms our priorities. Paul emphasizes we cannot move forward while ...

  Pastor Derek Berry "Don't Waste Your Life" - (5/17/2026) 18.05.2026 42мин

  Life passes quickly, and Moses understood this when he wrote Psalm 90:12, asking God to teach us to number our days and gain wisdom. Moses witnessed an entire generation of Israelites waste their lives wandering in the wilderness because they chose fear over faith when God called them to enter the Promised Land. The psalm contrasts God's eternal nature with human frailty, describing life as grass that withers or a watch in the night. True wisdom comes from living intentionally for God's kingd...

  Pastor Derek Berry "A Life That Leaves a Legacy" - (5/10/2026) 11.05.2026 35мин

  A godly legacy isn't just what we leave behind when we're gone, but what we live out and pass on every single day. Through the example of Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, we learn that genuine faith must be demonstrated, not just inherited. Real legacy is built through small, consistent steps - daily conversations, Scripture teaching, and private moments with God. Paul reminds Timothy to stir up the gifts within him, overcoming fear with the power, love, and sound mind that God p...

  Raised to a New Power | Raised to Life – Week 4 | Pastor Derek Berry 05.05.2026 34мин

  In Week 4 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Power,” we’re reminded that many believers feel stuck—not because they lack power, but because they don’t realize the power they already have. Paul teaches that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in every believer. The struggle isn’t about gaining more power—it’s about growing in awareness of what God has already placed within you. He points us to three realities we must understand: the hope of God’s calling, your v...

  Raised to a New Direction | Raised to Life – Week 3 | Pastor Derek Berry 27.04.2026 39мин

  In Week 3 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Direction,” we’re challenged with a hard truth—following Christ doesn’t automatically change your direction unless you intentionally leave the old one behind. Paul shows us in Colossians 3:5–11 that real transformation requires more than managing sin—it requires putting it to death. You can’t walk in a new direction while still holding onto old patterns. What you tolerate will eventually control where your life is headed. True change ha...

  Living in Freedom | Raised to Life – Week 2 | Pastor Derek Berry 21.04.2026 37мин

  In Week 2 of our Raised to Life series, “Living in Freedom,” we’re reminded that many believers know they’re saved but still live like they’re stuck. Jesus has already opened the door to freedom, yet we often remain trapped in old patterns. True freedom begins with abiding in God’s Word—not just hearing it occasionally, but letting it shape your daily life. Sin may promise freedom, but it always leads to bondage, following a pattern from choice to habit to control. Through Christ, you are no ...

  Raised to a New Identity | Raised to Life (Week 1) | Logan Hice 13.04.2026 30мин

  In Week 1 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Identity,” we see that Being raised with Christ means entering into a complete spiritual union that fundamentally transforms your identity. Many Christians struggle with old patterns because they don't understand this transformation or still define themselves by past failures rather than their new position in Christ. Your life is now hidden with Christ, meaning you're secure and defined by Him, not by your performance or past. Christ is...

  Pastor Derek Berry "You Can Be Close and Still Lost" - Easter Sunday (4/5/2026) 06.04.2026 37мин

  Two men walked away from Jerusalem after Jesus' crucifixion, discouraged and confused despite hearing reports of His resurrection. When Jesus joined them on their journey to Emmaus, they didn't recognize Him. This story reveals a sobering truth: you can be physically close to Jesus yet spiritually distant. These men knew all the facts about Christ's life, death, and resurrection, but they missed the truth of what it meant. They were drifting away from God while still talking about Him. The tu...

  Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 5 (3/29/2026) 30.03.2026 40мин

  "The Cross Changes My Forever" week 5 of the series "The Cross Changes Everything". The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most pivotal moment in human history, transforming our understanding of eternity. Without the resurrection, there would be no gospel, no forgiveness, and no hope beyond this life. Jesus' resurrection serves as the firstfruits, guaranteeing that all believers will also be raised from the dead. Every person exists in one of two positions: in Adam (spiritually dead) or in C...

  Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 4 (3/22/2026) 23.03.2026 43мин

  "The Cross Changes My Future" Week 4 of the series "The Cross Changes Everything." In times of uncertainty and anxiety about the future, Jesus offers profound comfort through His words in John 14:1: "Let not your heart be troubled." While we cannot know what tomorrow holds, we can trust the One who holds tomorrow. The cross provides the only way to a secure eternal future through Jesus, who declared Himself as the way, the truth, and the life. Heaven is not just an idea but a prepared place t...

  Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 3 (3/15/2026) 16.03.2026 44мин

  "The Cross Changes My Struggles" Week 3 of the series "The Cross Changes Everything." Many Christians feel trapped by recurring struggles despite knowing their sins are forgiven. The cross didn't just forgive us—it freed us from sin's control. Like a caged tiger that won't leave when the gate opens, we often live as if we're still trapped by old patterns. Romans 6 reveals that when we accepted Christ, our old self died and we rose as new creations. Sin no longer has rightful authority ov...

  Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 2 (3/8/2026) 11.03.2026 38мин

  "The Cross Changes My Past" - Sermon 2 of the series The Cross Changes Everything Many believers carry a spiritual backpack filled with guilt, shame, and regret from past mistakes. Psalm 103 reveals that God doesn't treat us according to our sins because Jesus took our punishment on the cross. God's mercy is immeasurable, extending as far as the heavens are above the earth. Most powerfully, our sins aren't just forgiven - they're completely removed, as far as the east is from the west. Paul e...
