Healing a Divided Nation
 
What will it take to heal a nation so deeply divided? In his message Healing a Divided Nation, Pastor David Menard opens Psalm 83, Psalm 82, and Psalm 103 to show that the solution does not begin with politics, protests, or social media. It begins with God. Pastor David teaches that the enemy’s plan has always been to remove God and godly influence from society, undermining truth, morality, and the family. With clarity and urgency, he warns against the cultural lies of subjective truth and calls the church to return to God’s Word, to recognize the pasture of His blessings, and to stand boldly for objective truth rooted in Scripture.
 
This message invites you to hear how God’s Word diagnoses our present turmoil and offers the only true remedy. Pastor David calls believers to action—bringing the nation’s sin before God, holding pastors accountable to teach truth without compromise, and exalting Jesus Christ as Lord over all. The challenge is personal: will you stand in truth, embrace God’s design, and live under His lordship? Listen and be stirred to courage, conviction, and hope, knowing that healing for our lives and for our nation is found only in Christ.

    "Where Is God in All This Evil? Part 2."  Does God feel silent when evil runs rampant?  Pastor David Menard takes us to Psalms 74 & 72, where the Psalmist cries out in the face of tragedy and devastation. We see that lament is not weakness but an act of faith — a way to press our grief, confusion, and questions into God’s hands while remembering His mighty power and sovereignty. Psalm 74 shows us how Jesus is on the throne even when the face of great evil rears its ugly head.  (This is one sermon being brought to you here in two parts).
     

    Listen to Part 2 of this sermon and hear how God calls us to reflect Christ’s leadership in our homes, churches, and communities. This message will encourage you to live under the reign of the true King and remind you that lasting justice and peace are found only in Jesus. Don’t miss the call to anchor your hope in His coming reign — and to lead with righteousness in the meantime.

    Listen to Part 1 of this two-part sermon and discover how honest lament keeps our hearts tender and aligned with God’s purposes. This teaching challenges us not to grow numb to the brokenness around us but to bring it before the Lord, trusting Him to work salvation in the midst of the earth. If we fail to lament, we risk accepting evil as normal — but if we cry out, we invite God to move in our lives and in our world.

    Psalm 27, Courageous Strength in the Face of Fear
     
    What if fear did not have the final word in your life? What if, even when everything around you seemed uncertain, you could stand unshaken? In his message “Courageous Strength in the Face of Fear” from Psalm 27, Pastor David Menard unpacks how David, a young man hunted by Saul and overwhelmed with enemies, could still declare, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” With vivid storytelling and careful teaching, Pastor David draws us into the psalm’s powerful truths: God Himself is our light that guides, our salvation that restores, and our strength that secures. Fear may press in, but when our foundation is in the Lord, it loses its power.
     
    This is not just David’s story—it is ours. Pastor David invites you to listen and discover how these timeless truths confront the fears we all face—fear of failure, loss, rejection, the unknown, even death itself. Psalm 27 shows us that God is not only able to rescue, but He is actively shaping us into people of courage and substance through trials. This message will challenge you to examine where you need His light, salvation, and strength right now. Do not settle for being paralyzed by fear; step into the confidence David knew, and let God’s truth anchor you today.

    Psalm 32, The Joy of Forgiveness
     

    Has the weight of your guilt ever robbed you of peace and joy? In his message Psalm 32: The Joy of Forgiveness, Pastor David Menard unpacks King David’s raw and honest psalm, written after his sin with Bathsheba and the crushing season of hiding his failure. Pastor David explains how King David’s silence and secrecy led to inner decay, sleepless nights, and spiritual emptiness. Yet in Psalm 32, King David reveals the turning point—confession. God did not expose his sin to condemn him but to forgive, heal, and restore his joy. The psalm teaches us that true blessing isn’t found in power, success, or appearances, but in the freedom of being reconciled with God.

     

    This message is an invitation to experience the same freedom King David found. Pastor David shows how the psalm calls us to stop hiding behind excuses, coping mechanisms, or outward religion, and instead come honestly before God. Forgiveness isn’t earned or worked for—it’s one honest prayer away. When we confess, God’s mercy surrounds us, lifting the crushing weight of guilt and filling our lives with peace and joy. Listen in and discover how Psalm 32 points us to Jesus, the One who takes away sin completely, and learn how you too can live in the joy of God’s forgiveness.

    Psalm 34, Praising God During Dark Times
     
    How do we respond when life gets dark, painful, and overwhelming? In Praising God During Dark Times, Pastor JC Cooper brings us to Psalm 34—a psalm birthed from one of David’s most fearful and humiliating moments. Rather than spiraling into despair, David chooses to bless the Lord at all times, inviting us into a life of worship that doesn’t depend on circumstances. This message unpacks the power of praising God amid trials, highlighting how fear turns to faith when we fix our eyes on the goodness and nearness of the Lord.
     
    If you’ve ever felt crushed, anxious, or alone in your suffering, this message is for you. Pastor JC reminds us that God hears the cries of the brokenhearted and delivers His people from every trouble. Psalm 34 becomes a guide for cultivating hope, seeking God’s presence, and living with a posture of humility and trust. Don’t miss this encouragement to let your praise rise above your pain and to discover the refuge found in a God who is always near.

    What shapes the way you live each day—your own thoughts, the world’s opinions, or the voice of God? In this message, The Revelation of God in Creation, His Word, and Our Souls, Pastor JC Cooper walks through Psalm 19 to show how God reveals Himself both through the majesty of the heavens and the truth of His Word. Creation speaks loudly of His power and glory, yet it is Scripture—perfect, sure, right, and pure—that changes our hearts and draws us into deeper relationship with Him. From the wonders of galaxies to the life-giving power of God’s commands, Pastor JC unpacks how these revelations invite us to know Him personally and follow Him faithfully.
     
    This message calls you to move beyond simply admiring God’s creation to actively responding to His Word. Psalm 19 challenges us to treasure Scripture above all else, to let it convert our souls, give us wisdom, and satisfy us more than gold or honey. Pastor JC reminds us that God’s revelation always demands a response—humility, repentance, and obedience. The question is whether you will allow His truth to shape your thoughts, words, and actions so that the meditation of your heart is pleasing to your Rock and Redeemer.

    Psalm 16, Our Rich Inheritance in Jesus Christ
     

    What if the inheritance your heart craves isn’t a bigger paycheck or a pain‑free life, but the very presence of God Himself? In “Our Rich Inheritance in Jesus Christ,” Pastor David Menard walks line by line through Psalm 16, showing how its four movements—God’s protection, provision, presence, and promise of eternal life—reveal that the Lord alone is our highest good. King David’s confession, “You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup,” exposes the emptiness of lesser ambitions and points us to the treasure that can never fade. Only in God’s presence, where “fullness of joy” and “pleasures forevermore” reside, do we discover the wealth every soul longs for.

     

    Lean in and let this message reset the coordinates of your trust. Pastor David invites you to trade self‑reliance for the unshakable refuge of trusting God, showing how anchoring every decision to the Lord brings stability in chaos, clarity in confusion, and hope that even death cannot touch. Don’t settle for temporary comforts; press play and discover how making God your inheritance today unlocks a joy and security nothing—now or forever—can steal.

    Psalm 15, Who can hangout with God?
    What kind of person gets to dwell in the presence of God - not just in heaven someday, but in joyful fellowship with Him today? In the message titled Who Can Hangout With God?, Pastor David Menard unpacks Psalm 15, a short yet powerful psalm of David that outlines the character and conduct of those who live close to the Lord. Rather than presenting a list of religious rules, this passage offers a portrait of a life transformed by integrity, honesty, and a heart that reflects God’s righteousness.
     

    This message invites you to examine your walk with the Lord and discover the blessing of intimacy with Him. Pastor David emphasizes how this psalm doesn’t call for perfection but for a genuine desire to live uprightly before God and others. You’ll be encouraged to grow in godly character, speak truth in love, and live with unwavering integrity. Psalm 15 offers a clear and compelling call: draw near to God—and walk in a life that remains unshaken.

    Psalm 2, The Coronation of the Messiah
     
    Why does the world resist God’s authority and reject His truth—even when His Word brings blessing and peace? In this message titled The Coronation of the Messiah, Pastor David Menard walks us through Psalm 2, a powerful prophetic psalm that unveils humanity’s rebellion against God, God’s divine response, and His unstoppable plan to establish Jesus as King over all nations. From the plotting of earthly rulers to the promise of a righteous, global kingdom ruled by Christ, this psalm reveals both the futility of rebellion and the majesty of God's eternal reign.
     
    This message invites us to respond with reverence, trust, and worship. Pastor David challenges us to see God's commands not as restrictions, but as blessings that guide us toward life, peace, and joy. As the nations rage and the world drifts further from God, Psalm 2 calls us to anchor our hearts in Jesus—the appointed King and Savior. The time is now to bow in allegiance to Christ, embrace His lordship, and experience the blessing reserved for those who put their trust in Him.

    Have you ever wondered what it truly means to live a “blessed” life—especially when your circumstances are anything but easy? In The Blessed Life, Pastor David Menard opens the Psalms with a profound exploration of Psalm 1, setting the tone for the entire series, Seasons in the Psalms. With clarity and pastoral warmth, he draws out timeless truths from Scripture, contrasting the path of the godly and the ungodly, unpacking the poetry and power of biblical Hebrew parallelism, and pointing to Jesus as the centerpiece of every Psalm. Through this lens, he teaches how God’s blessing is not about wealth or comfort, but about delighting in God’s Word, resisting worldly influence, and experiencing deep, unwavering joy no matter the season of life.
     
    Listen in and let this message stir your heart and anchor your soul. Pastor David challenges us to stop faking spiritual language, drop the masks, and come before God honestly—with our frustrations, our doubts, and our brokenness. Discover how the blessed life is not found in chasing momentary pleasures, but in cultivating intimacy with God, who truly knows and preserves His people. This sermon will deepen your understanding of Scripture, renew your passion for God’s presence, and inspire you to live differently—starting today.
