Sermons From The Chapel

In Ecclesiastes 2:12-17, Solomon turns from the pursuit of pleasure to the pursuit of wisdom and considers the sobering reality that both the wise and the fool ultimately face the same end: death. If everything we accomplish eventually fades away, where can we find lasting fulfillment? Solomon’s meditation takes him to a dark place as he confronts the limits of wisdom and the vanity of life under the sun. Yet for the believer, death is not the final word; Romans 8:23 points us toward the hope we await: the redemption of our bodies and the fullness of what God ha...

In Ecclesiastes 2:1–11, Solomon sets out to answer a question every human heart eventually asks: What would finally satisfy me? Having found that wisdom could not give him what he wanted, he turns to pleasure and gives himself over to laughter, wine, possessions, accomplishments, wealth, and every desire his eyes could find. And remarkably, Solomon succeeds. He gets what he wants, enjoys what he has pursued, and then steps back to consider it all. His conclusion is not that pleasure is bad, but that it cannot bear the weight of being our ultimate good.

This passage exposes the re...

What if the problem isn’t that life is meaningless, but that we keep expecting temporary things to give us something permanent? In Ecclesiastes 1:1–11, the Preacher introduces us to hevel: breath, vapor, smoke, something real, but fleeting and impossible to grasp. Generation after generation comes and goes. The sun keeps rising, the rivers keep flowing, and the world keeps turning, while our brief lives pass away. So what are we supposed to make of a life that is so precious, yet so temporary?

Ecclesiastes doesn’t invite us to despair, but to see life rightly. Our lives are fl...

Ecclesiastes is not ultimately a book about meaninglessness or hopelessness, but about putting the cares and pursuits of this world into their proper perspective. The Teacher honestly wrestles with the frustrations, uncertainties, and fleeting nature of life “under the sun,” yet he repeatedly points us beyond what is temporary to the God who is sovereign over it all.

Rather than teaching us to despise this life, Ecclesiastes helps us receive its ordinary joys as gifts from a good God. There is beauty in work, relationships, food, pleasure, and the simple moments of life. But those gifts were neve...

Psalm 98 brings our journey through the Christ-centered Psalms to its fitting conclusion: worship. The Psalm begins with God’s people singing a new song because the Lord has won a marvelous victory, expands outward to the nations, and finally summons the whole creation to rejoice before the coming King. The salvation accomplished in Christ reveals both God’s mercy and His righteousness, gathers worshipers from every nation, and points forward to the day when Christ will make all things new.

But what is the ultimate goal of it all? Not merely that we are saved, or even that...

Psalm 116: Thanksgiving and Praise

What does a heart transformed by God’s grace sound like? Psalm 116 answers that question with joyful gratitude. The psalmist looks back on God’s faithful deliverance and responds with thanksgiving, praise, and a renewed commitment to walk before the Lord. His worship is not merely private but public, declaring God’s goodness before His people.

In this sermon, we explore how the believer’s response to salvation is one of grateful obedience and joyful worship. We will consider what it means to “take the cup of salvation” as an expression of embracing...

Psalm 23 begins in green pastures and ends in the Father’s house. The Shepherd who restores wandering sheep and walks with them through dark valleys has always been leading them somewhere. His purpose was never merely to preserve His people in the wilderness, but to bring them safely home.

In these final two verses of Psalm 23 we discover that the greatest gift Christ gives His people is not merely His provision, but His presence. He prepares a table for them, pursues them with goodness and mercy all their days, and delights to welcome them into everlasting fellowship wi...

We are shadows-brief, fragile, and quickly passing away. Yet Psalm 144 reveals the astonishing truth that the infinite God bends low to know us, train us, and deliver us. David weaves together the great themes of the Psalms-God as our Rock, our strength, our refuge, and our salvation, to remind us that every victory, every breath, and every blessing comes from His gracious hand.

Glorious Shadows is an invitation to marvel at both our smallness and our Savior’s greatness. Though our lives are but a shadow, they can become glorious reflections of God’s power and presence when...

Psalm 23 may be the most familiar chapter in the Bible-but have we become so familiar with it that we’ve stopped marveling at it? This psalm is ultimately not about sheep, green pastures, or even David. It is about the Lord Jesus Himself. Every blessing in Psalm 23 exists to lead us beyond the gifts to the Giver. The greatest comfort of the Christian life is not that our valleys disappear, but that our Shepherd never does.

In this first message on Psalm 23, we discover Christ as the Good Shepherd who gives His sheep nothing less than Himself. He...

Psalm 118 is more than a song of thanksgiving—it is a prophetic announcement of the Messiah. During Passion Week, the crowds sang its words as Jesus entered Jerusalem. Days later, Jesus declared that He Himself was the rejected stone who would become the chief cornerstone. Peter would later proclaim this same truth before Israel’s leaders and apply it to every believer: the Christ rejected by men is the foundation God has established.

In this sermon, we follow the thread of Psalm 118 through Matthew 21, Acts 4, and 1 Peter 2 to see how God’s verdict triumphs over man’s. Along th...

Psalm 103 is one of Scripture’s greatest songs of praise, calling God’s people to remember His goodness and respond with wholehearted worship. David urges his own soul, “Bless the LORD,” not because life is always easy, but because God has shown immeasurable mercy to undeserving sinners. He forgives our iniquities, heals, redeems, satisfies, and crowns His children with steadfast love and compassion. Most wonderfully, the Lord does not deal with us according to our sins or repay us according to our iniquities. Instead, His mercy reaches higher than the heavens, His forgiveness removes our sins as far as the east...

Psalm 110 is the most quoted Old Testament passage in the New Testament, and for good reason. In this remarkable Messianic Psalm, David is given a glimpse into heaven itself as he overhears a divine conversation between the Father and the Son. Here we see Christ exalted at the right hand of God, reigning as King over all nations and bringing every enemy into subjection beneath His feet. Yet the greatest surprise of the Psalm is not merely Christ’s kingship—it is His priesthood.

In this sermon, we explore the glory of Jesus Christ as the Exalted Prie...

The world praises strength, success, and self-sufficiency. God does not. Psalm 147 reveals a God who draws near to the brokenhearted, restores the wounded, and delights in those who humbly trust Him.

Join us as we discover why praise is not reserved for life’s mountaintops. Even in seasons of suffering, loss, weakness, and uncertainty, God’s people have every reason to sing. Through Psalm 147, we will see that the God who counts the stars also cares for the hurting, and that His greatest delight is found in weak sinners who come to Him through faith in J...

How can a King die for His people and yet reign over them? How can a crucified King gather subjects from every nation, receive the worship of generations yet unborn, and govern an everlasting kingdom? Psalm 22 leaves us with those questions. Psalm 16 provides the answer. In this remarkable Messianic Psalm, David speaks beyond himself and points us to the Lord Jesus Christ—the King who trusted His Father perfectly, entered the grave willingly, and rose again in triumph.

This Psalm takes us from the trust of Christ, to the resurrection of Christ, to the joy of...

Psalm 121 lifts our eyes from uncertainty to a steady truth: our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He is not distant or indifferent—He is the Keeper who neither slumbers nor forgets. In every step of the journey, whether on sunlit paths or in shadowed valleys, His care is constant even when it cannot be seen.

Yet God’s provision is more than immediate or material. His promises reach beyond the needs of today and extend into eternity. We live in the tension of trusting what we cannot always trace, called to obed...

When Jesus cried, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” He was not only expressing agony - He was drawing our attention to Psalm 22.

This sermon explores one of the clearest portraits of Christ in the Old Testament: the forsaken sufferer surrounded by mockers, pierced and humiliated, yet ultimately vindicated before the nations. Psalm 22 moves from the darkness of the cross to the glory of resurrection and kingdom triumph, revealing Christ as the Suffering King who wins His people not merely by power, but by suffering love. For weary believers, struggling saints, and seeking sinners alik...

Psalm 90 confronts us with the sobering brevity of human life. Our days pass quickly, our strength fades, and even our greatest accomplishments can seem temporary and fragile. Yet against the backdrop of man’s frailty stands the eternal God — the One who was “from everlasting to everlasting” before the world began and who remains unchanged when generations rise and fall.

Though our labor cannot secure permanence on its own, the Lord is able to establish the work of our hands and make what is done for Him endure beyond our short lives. Psalm 90 calls us to humil...

There are moments when the weight of sin finally breaks through the noise. Psalm 51 is the prayer of a man brought low — a king with his crown in the dust, crying out for mercy from the only One who can cleanse the soul.

This sermon looks at confession, godly sorrow, and the grace of God that restores the brokenhearted and gives joy back to the repentant sinner.

Psalm 72 gives us a breathtaking vision of the world under the rule of God’s chosen King. This royal psalm begins in the days of Solomon, but its language quickly stretches beyond any earthly ruler. Here is a King whose reign is marked by righteousness, justice for the poor, peace for the people, the crushing of oppression, and blessing reaching the ends of the earth. This is not merely a prayer for Israel’s monarchy—it is a portrait of the reign humanity longs for and the kingdom only Jesus Christ can bring.

From the joyful...

What if the doorway to divine favor is lower than we imagined? What if many remain unheard not because God is distant, but because they refuse to kneel? In a world obsessed with visibility, influence, and self-assertion, Psalm 5 confronts the pride that keeps men standing tall while their hearts remain far from God. It calls us to consider a startling truth: heaven bends its ear toward the humble.

David rises before dawn not to parade his strength, but to bow low before the Lord. God is not impressed by noise, status, manipulation, or empty religion...

Psalm 2 reveals a world in rebellion—and a King who cannot be overthrown. In this sermon, we trace the Psalm from its roots in David’s reign to its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the true Son and reigning King over all nations. While humanity rages and resists His rule, God responds with sovereign authority, establishing His King on Zion through the resurrection.

This message unpacks both the warning and the invitation of Psalm 2: reject Christ and face His righteous judgment, or “kiss the Son” and find refuge, blessing, and peace in Him. The same King who rules th...
