Sacred Life: Titus 1.5-6
In Paul's letter written to Titus one sees life. In fact, a sacred and holy life for a different kind of people, the church. The mission of the church is to be about making things right in a world that is wrong. Things need to be set in order. This week Paul tells Titus to start at the top. Leadership is everything. With Christ as the head leadership is crucial to the church. We need godly influence in the church. This week we will see what that influence is to look like. We all need this model and must follow it.

What To Do With Our Tears
So what do we do with our tears? How are we to handle our grief and sorrow? What can help us when our souls are so sorrowful that they bleed tears? Psalms 126 and 39 will help us to know how to understand our tears as well as how to practice emotional honesty before a God who well understands our tears, understands our pain, and understands what it feels like to cry out in agony. Jesus received our rejection. Jesus experienced the pain of loss. Jesus experienced the sorrow and alienation our sins deserved.

A Big Mess
Only the Lord can be in the business of bringing good out of evil, blessing generation after generation. The actions of David and his pursuit of Bathsheba and all the events that surrounded this big mess are one of the key stories of redemption in Scripture. Sometimes the enemy tricks us into thinking that the pain and mess of our lives are beyond repair - beyond help. We see ourselves as a mess, chaotic and without beauty. But that's not the way God sees us. In His mercy, His agenda is one of redemption and restoration - no matter who we are. He is the star breathing God, but He is also the author and artist of our lives, and the minute not only matters to Him - from the smallest cell to the largest galaxies - He cares for it all.

What To Do With Our Doubt
It wasn't until Asaph went to the sanctuary of God, until he was able to gain God's eternal perspective and saw that and see that God is both in control and good and could say: Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Incredible Credentials
Do you ever feel that the world is messed up and in all this, that it's hard to imagine that there is a God in control? If Psalm 110 humbled David, it also gave him hope. God promised to build David a house, but clearly stated that God's kingdom would be established by a son of David who was Divine, David's Lord. A perfect kingdom needed a perfect king, and this would be neither David nor Solomon. How much more hope Psalm 110 offered David after his devastating sin with Bathsheba. When David was overcome with guilt and shame, how could he ever conceive of God building an eternal kingdom through him? It could not be, except for the certainty of the promises of God and the assurance that God would provide a perfect king to establish the promised kingdom. His was not the kingdom, but from him the kingdom would come - through his son and his Lord, Messiah. Key Passage: Psalm 110

Pride and Humility
Theologian and pastor, John Stott, once said that no matter where you're at in your Christian life, pride is always your greatest enemy and humility is always your greatest friend. In this sermon, we'll see how Psalm 131 helps us to get far away from our worst enemy, pride, and get as close to our greatest friend, humility, as possible.

What To Do With Our Anger
We are continuing our series of discussions that are intended to help us take a closer look at our emotional life. How do we handle anger? The beauty of Psalm 137, as graphic as it is, is that it shows us that by pouring out our emotional life before God in prayer, by being honest with how we’re really feeling, by not stuffing our emotions down, our anger can be kept from turning into an unrighteous outburst.

A fresh song
Many of us knew long before American Idol came along that not everyone can sing. I personally cannot sing and am thankful for folks who have confirmed in a loving way that I just can't carry a tune. But even tone deaf people like me must understand that singing is not only a voice deal, it comes from a much, much deeper place within us. True singing flows out from the spirit, a place of deep gratitude. If we have experienced the lift, our soul cannot be silenced, its sings a beautiful song. The question we need to face is not how does my voice sound but how does my soul sound? Key Passage: Psalm 40
