THE FIXED POINT

Jan 18, 2026    Mike Garner

This sermon explores Psalm 27:4 as the pivotal anchor of David's fearless faith during a season of crisis. Pastor Mike emphasizes that true courage in the midst of life's storms comes not from demanding God remove our difficulties, but from maintaining a singular focus on God Himself. David's "one thing" - dwelling in God's house, gazing on His beauty, and seeking Him continually - demonstrates how worship reorders our reality around what is true rather than what is temporary. The message challenges believers to examine whether their prayers center on changing circumstances or on deepening their relationship with God. Crisis has the power to clarify what matters most, and when God fills the frame of our vision, fear is put in its proper place. The sermon concludes with the reminder that worship doesn't end the storm but keeps the soul from drifting while the storm continues.
