Join us this Sunday as we look at the attribute of God’s unchangeability from Psalm 102 (ft. Colin Campbell, Member at Elevate Hope Centennial).

As we go through the gospel of Mark together, we are coming to the events leading up to Jesus’ trial and passion. In preparation of that, let’s examine a psalm that will help us in understand the suffering of Jesus. This morning we will be examining Psalm 91.

Our God is a faithful God, but we as His people often forget His past faithfulness, fail to listen to His voice, and fall in love with the false gods and idols this world has to offer. Let us hear God’s response to our unfaithfulness with His own steadfast and unfailing love: “If My people would only listen to Me, if Israel would only follow My ways, how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes! Those who hate the Lord would cringe before Him, and their punishment would last forever. But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” - Psalm 81:13-16 (ft. Chad Donohoe, Pastor of Community Life at Deer Creek Church).

“Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make Your face shine on us, that we may be saved.” - Psalm 80:19 (ft. Chad Donohoe, Pastor of Community Life at Deer Creek Church).

Join us this Sunday as we look at Psalm 22 and discover that sanctification means learning to say thank you to God in increasingly difficult circumstances (ft. Ryan Beerwinkle, Deacon at Elevate Hope Centennial).

Think about everything we use our phones for; connecting with our loved ones, building relationships, figuring our what is happening in our world. With all of those things we use our phones for, statistics show that the average person needs or wants something from their phone about 140 times per day; as a result, the average American spends 5 hours and 24 minutes on their phone each day. One of the major problems with us wanting or needing something from our phones nearly 6 hours a day is that our phones were designed to only last 5-6 hours a day while doing those things disconnected from a source of power. Because the moment we disconnect them and use them for life, they begin to die. And if they remain disconnected, they will eventually be completely powerless and dead until we connect them again. The same thing is happening to us as human beings when we live life disconnected from God; we begin to slowly die. So join us as we look at what Psalm 24 and Acts 17 have to say about our connection to God.

How do we fight against the power of envy and the covetousness of our depraved hearts? Join us this morning as we look at Psalm 73 and its encouragement to take on an attitude of humility and gratitude, that we may echo the psalmist: “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.” (ft. Chad Donohoe, Pastor of Community Life at Deer Creek Church).

Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet. He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom He loved. God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth; sing to Him a psalm of praise. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne. The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to God, He is greatly exalted. (ft. Aaron Ellis, Worship Director at Deer Creek Church).

God has welcomed us by grace, and because of this grace we have the privilege of welcoming others to be local and native in the city of God. Becoming a citizen of God’s kingdom means receiving His unbelievable love, embracing the diverse membership of this city, and joyfully drinking of the life-giving water God gives to us. Join us this Sunday as we look at the promises in store for those who belong to the city of God in Psalm 87. (ft. David Rapp, Church Planting Resident at Deer Creek Church).

When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb! Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. (ft. JP Watson, Church Planting Resident at Deer Creek Church).

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. (ft. JP Watson, Church Planting Resident at Deer Creek Church).

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face to shine upon us. That Your way may be known on earth, Your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You! The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear Him! (ft. JP Watson, Church Planting Resident at Deer Creek Church).

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” These things I remember, as I pour out my soul. I say to God, my rock: “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me! For You are the God in whom I take refuge; why have You rejected me? Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling! Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise You with the lyre, O God, my God. Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God. (ft. JP Watson, Church Planting Resident at Deer Creek Church).

When it comes to God we have mixed feelings about being watched. When we are doing something we shouldn’t we hope God doesn’t see us. When we are doing something righteous and good we want to shout, “Watch me, God!” But when we are suffering or going through a trial or some sort of difficult time our question is often, “God, why aren’t you watching me?” This is our last part in our sermon series entitled “Seen.” We have been looking at men and women in the Bible who were seen by God in a unique way and how that changed their life. We have been focusing on specific men and women but this morning we are going to look at one more person who is seen by God in the Bible. And that is each of us. And if you ever doubt that, God’s Word says, “The Lord looks down from heaven;
 He sees all the children of mankind.” What does it mean for us that God looks at us? Sees us. All of us?

What does a spiritual life feel like? The Psalms, and the life and teaching of Jesus, are our guides, in a world that has forgotten the truth of who we are: not just possessors, but persons. (ft. Caleb Knedlik, Pastoral Assistant at Elevate Hope Centennial).

God reveals Himself in inescapable ways in His creation. But is that all we can know of Him? Join us this Sunday at 10 at Homestead Elementary in Centennial or on Facebook as we look at how God reveals Himself in our world. (ft. Daniel Nealon, Associate Pastor at Deer Creek Church).
