This Week's Message
"The Good Life"
| Pastor Matt Kottman Psalm 73
Sermon outline for 8/23/26
- What Envy Sees
- What Worship Reveals
- What the Restored Heart Desires
Questions for discussion and application
- What do you tend to envy in other people’s lives, and what does that reveal about your definition of the “good life”?
- Where are you tempted to think, “I have tried to obey God, so why hasn’t he given me this?” What does that reveal about what you may be seeking from God more than God himself?
- Why do you think Asaph’s perspective changed when he entered the sanctuary? How has gathering with God’s people helped correct your vision when your heart was discouraged, envious, or confused?
- What would it look like for you to say with Asaph, “God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”? Where do you most need to learn that being near God is your greatest good?

Community Prayer
We join together in the spiritual practice of prayer. Here's what our church family is lifting up this week:
SUNDAY - Jesus, we pray that we would be more like you, today and every day. We pray that we would not merely be content with changing the outside—varnishing ourselves to look good to others—but that we would seek real heart change. We pray for the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside (Ephesians 4:17-32).
MONDAY - Father, we commit this week to you, trusting that your plan for us is perfect. We thank you that you provide abundantly for us each day. We pray for your presence to be with us this week so that we would reflect your character. Help us guard what we say so that we would be a source of encouragement to others by speaking what is good and helpful (1 Cor. 4:25).
TUESDAY - Father, today we pray for SRCF-sponsored missionaries Steve and Laura Newkirk with World Venture in Senegal. We continue to thank you for the Wolof translation of the Bible and for the ongoing production of the audio version. We ask for your blessings for Steve and Laura, as well as the Senegalese leadership and participation in the church.
WEDNESDAY - Father, help us resist the kind of temptation that the world has to offer. Instead, we turn to you for the wisdom that enables us to make choices that are pleasing to you.
THURSDAY - Father, we pray today for our church family. We are thankful for our leadership and this body of believers who are committed to Jesus. We ask that you would cause us to delight in your word, to seek to become more Christlike, and to move toward maturity in our understanding of the Gospel.
FRIDAY - Father, we continue to pray for our nation. You have placed us all here for a purpose and with the opportunity to share the Gospel within the freedom of religion we enjoy. Help us not to take this precious freedom for granted. Increase our faith to trust you that our lives and the future of our country are safely in your hands.
SATURDAY - Father, we pray that you would draw us closer to you. Reveal your truth, wisdom, and love to us, and help us to experience the fullness of your grace and peace. We ask that you would strengthen our faith and empower us to walk in your light.
