New Tune

Aug 2, 2026    Pastor Matt Sidley

Psalm 96 invites us to “sing to the Lord a new song”—but this message is about more than music. It is an invitation to live in a new way.

The good news of Jesus is the steady beat of our faith: Jesus loves us, forgives us, and invites us to follow Him. But the gospel was never meant to remain only something we hear, believe, or keep to ourselves. It must become the rhythm of our lives.


In this opening message of our Psalms of Summer 2026 series, we’ll explore what happens when the love of Jesus moves beyond our words and begins shaping how we treat the people around us.


We’ll discover:

- What it means to sing a new song with our lives

- Why the gospel must become more than a private belief

- How we bless God through obedience, love, and humility

- Why forgiveness, generosity, mercy, and kindness matter

- How everyday relationships can reveal the love of Jesus

- What it looks like to live as a witness in our community


Jesus calls us to a different rhythm—one marked by reconciliation instead of resentment, generosity instead of selfishness, prayer instead of anxiety, and love instead of revenge.


This new song is not about pretending to be perfect. It is about choosing one area of our lives, submitting it to Jesus, asking for the Spirit’s help, and learning to follow Him one step at a time.


The gospel is the beat, but the way we love people is the rhythm. May the good news of Jesus become music to the ears of our community.
