But because we all know it, we often breeze through the psalm without slowing down long enough to rest in the assurance it offers. In this 6-part series on Psalm 23, Pastor Matt Chandler introduces us to the great shepherd, the Lord, who promises to provide for every need of his flock. Though only six verses long, this psalm teaches us profound truths about our loving and protective God. By studying Psalm 23, we’ll encounter a life-transforming question: Do you trust the Lord to care for your needs? Starting September 10th and running through October 16th, this men's lunchtime video Bible study will be led by Tim Frink and hosted by Frank Calkins (45824 Meadowlark Dr, Lexington Park) from noon to 12:45.

We meet on Sunday to join together and raise our voices and instruments in praise to the Lord, but it doesn't stop there - it begins there, and it refreshes us for the rest of the week's worship. If the Lord has given you singing or musical gifts, we encourage you to present them to Him. Meet with any of our worship leaders, and let them know you're interested. We'll be happy to find you a place to serve the Lord with us, to help His congregation draw closer to Him each week. You can hear some of our favorite worship songs on our Spotify Playlist.
