Thank you for joining us in this journey through the Psalms! As we read Psalms 46–50 together, we’re invited to reflect on the greatness of God—His strength, His presence, His kingship, and His love. These chapters describe who God is and what He has done, but they also call us to respond: with stillness, with praise, with reverence, with thanksgiving, and with trust.Psalm 46:10 reminds us:“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”In a world that urges us to do more and know ourselves, Scripture calls us to pause—and know God. Let this be your reminder today: build a habit of solitude, trust His promises, and respond to His greatness with worship and surrender.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider the most radical act in history: Christ's crucifixion. The sermon delves into 1 Corinthians 1:23, revealing how Jesus' death was a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles. We're reminded that the cross, now a familiar symbol, was once shocking and offensive. This radical act defied expectations, contradicted worldly wisdom, and was entirely undeserved. Most astoundingly, it was voluntary - Jesus chose to die for us. As we contemplate this profound sacrifice, we're called to follow Christ's example by 'dying to self' daily. This means crucifying our sinful thoughts, emotions, and actions, allowing Christ to live through us. By doing so, we can transform our relationships, navigate trials more effectively, and improve our ministry. This message challenges us to recover our awe of the cross and embrace the radical, transformative power of Christ's love in our lives.1 Corinthians 1:23Deuteronomy 21:23John 10:18John 10:11Mark 10:45Luke 9:23Galatian

In this impactful message, we're called to live out a radical faith that challenges cultural norms. To be "Radical Like Jesus" means embracing the least, serving others, and sowing righteousness.

This countercultural way of living isn't just about personal growth—it's about transforming our world by reflecting Christ's love in practical, sacrificial ways.Join us as we examine our hearts and actions, seeking to live out this radical, Christ-centered life.Scripture References:Luke 9:48Philippians 2:3-7Luke 22:25-27Matthew 20:25-28Galatians 5:22-23Galatians 6:7-9John 12:24-25

In a world chasing comfort, influence, and self-fulfillment, Jesus calls us to something radically different — death to self, full surrender, and simple but costly obedience. In this powerful message, Pastor Ron challenges us to embrace the radical way of Christ: a life built on the Rock, not the sand.Following Jesus means renouncing everything else, choosing the narrow path, and daring to live counter-culturally. It's not about being extreme for extremity's sake — it’s about returning to the fundamentals of Christ’s revolutionary kingdom: repentance, obedience, humility, and a fearless commitment to God's ways.Are you ready to truly live by dying to yourself? Are you ready to be radical like Jesus?Scripture References:Matthew 16:13–18 — "Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."Matthew 7:24–27 — "Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock."Luke 14:25–33 — "Whoever does not bear his own
