Sermons on Overcoming Anxiety:

The Cave Of Worship Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 16, 2013

From the real life lessons of David on the run, we discover ways to cope with danger, difficulty, and the demands of living a life of faith in a godless world.

Psalm 56 was written when David escaped from Saul to Gath, a city of the Philistines (1 Samuel 21). He also wrote Psalm 22 at the same time. Last week we talked about how Saul wanted to kill David and so chased him around the countryside. One of those escapes was to Nob, where David had retrieved ...read more

What To Do When I Am Depressed Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 25, 2013

Depression sometimes hits us, but we often don't know how to handle it or get out of it. In fact, we feel guilty for even being depressed. But these psalms give us some clues on what to do when we are down.

The book of Psalms is actually made up of four books. Psalm 41 ends Book One, which is made up almost entirely of David’s psalms. The final psalms of each book are similar in that they offer a doxology of praise to God. As such they are called “seam” psalms because they piece ...read more

Our world today is moving faster and faster away from faith in God. In fact, the very existence of God is regularly called into question.

Waiting Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 29, 2012

The thing we have the least patience with is waiting. When we are facing a difficulty we want instant results. When God doesn't operate on our table we get frustrated. David got frustrated too but how he handles it can help us have patience too.

Psalm 13 teaches that waiting is really hard. There is nothing worse than being in a tough space and pleading with God and nothing happens! We saw this in Psalm 10 as well when David cried: “Why do you stand so far away?” 1 David feels like God must have forgotten him in his trial. ...read more
