  • Confidence in the Shepherd

    Confidence in the Shepherd
    Oct 26 2026
    David concludes Psalm 23 with a remarkable declaration: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” This is the confidence of someone who has come to know his Shepherd. Throughout Psalm 23, David describes the Lord’s provision, restoration, guidance, protection, and faithfulness. And after all of it, he declares with confidence that God’s goodness and steadfast love will continue to pursue him. Scripture: Psalm 23:6

  • The Table in the Battle

    The Table in the Battle
    Oct 19 2026
    What if we’ve misunderstood what God’s faithfulness is supposed to look like? David declares that the Lord prepares a table in the presence of his enemies. Not after the battle. Not when the opposition disappears. Right in the middle of it. God doesn’t have to remove our enemies to prove He’s enough. In Part 4 of Psalm 23, we’re looking at what it means to feast at the Lord’s table, where we’re giving our attention, and how to find our sufficiency in Him regardless of our circumstances. Scripture: Psalm 23:5, Philippians 4:11–13, Hebrews 11:32–40

  • Confidence in the Valley | Psalm 23

    Confidence in the Valley | Psalm 23
    Oct 12 2026

    Life will take us through valleys. Seasons we didn’t expect, challenges we don’t understand, and moments when fear seems louder than our faith.

    But David shows us something powerful in Psalm 23:4. Our confidence isn’t found in avoiding the valley, but in knowing the Shepherd who walks with us.

    In Part 3 of our Psalm 23 series, we’re discovering how difficult seasons expose where we’ve placed our trust, how they can deepen our intimacy with God, and why His presence changes everything.

  • Can You Trust God? | Psalm 23:2-3

    Can You Trust God? | Psalm 23:2-3
    Oct 5 2026
    Psalm 23 gives us a picture of a Shepherd whose intentions are good, even when we don’t understand what He is doing. In Part 2 of Psalm 23, we look at what it means to trust God enough to rest under His care, follow His leadership, and allow Him to restore our souls. Do I trust His intentions in my life? Psalm 23:2–3

  • The Shepherd Is the Promise

    The Shepherd Is the Promise
    Sep 28 2026
    Psalm 23 is one of the most familiar passages in Scripture, but its promise is deeper than comfort in difficult circumstances. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” The promise is not the removal of every valley, obstacle, or difficult season. The promise is Him. In Part 1 of Psalm 23, we look at what it means for the Lord to be our Shepherd and why surrendering to His leadership changes everything.

  • Why Church Was Never Just About Sundays | Acts 2:42–47 | Vertical Life Church

    Why Church Was Never Just About Sundays | Acts 2:42–47 | Vertical Life Church
    Sep 21 2026

    We are all being formed by something.

    Our culture, family, experiences, and priorities have shaped what we believe community should look like. But Acts 2 gives us a different picture—a people devoted to Jesus and committed to a shared life together.

    In the final message of our Community series, we look again at the early church and what their devotion produced: shared faith, shared life, and shared tables—and what that means for how we build Christ-centered community at Vertical Life.

  • Why We're Never Really Present | John 11:17-35 | Vertical Life Church

    Why We're Never Really Present | John 11:17-35 | Vertical Life Church
    Sep 14 2026

    We are more connected than ever, yet increasingly absent from the people right in front of us. In John 11, Jesus shows us something powerful about love: He was present. He entered the
    grief of people He loved, even when He already knew the answer.

    If we want to look like Jesus, we have to learn how to be present. And if we want real biblical community, presence isn't optional.

  • How Will The World Know We Follow Jesus? | John 13:34-35

    How Will The World Know We Follow Jesus? | John 13:34-35
    Sep 7 2026

    Jesus said the world would know that we are His disciples by the way we love one another.


    But Christian love is more than being nice. Jesus Himself is the standard. The Father’s love is the source. And the way we love His people becomes evidence of who we belong to.


    In John 13:34–35, Jesus gives His disciples this command in the shadow of betrayal and denial: “Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”


    In this message, we look at what biblical love actually requires, why Christian community is necessary to obey Jesus’ command, and why we cannot love this way without first abiding in the Father’s love.


    Jesus’ love is the standard.

    The Father’s love is the source.

    Our love is the evidence.
