Psalm 145 ESV

1 I will extol you, my God and King,
    and bless your name forever and ever.
2 

Every day I will bless you
    and praise your name forever and ever.
3 

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
    and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 

One generation shall commend your works to another,
    and shall declare your mighty acts.
5 

On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
    and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6 

They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
    and I will declare your greatness.
7 

They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
    and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

8 

The Lord is gracious and merciful,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 

The Lord is good to all,
    and his mercy is over all that he has made.

10 

All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
    and all your saints shall bless you!
11 

They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
    and tell of your power,
12 

to make known to the children of man your[b] mighty deeds,
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

[The Lord is faithful in all his words
    and kind in all his works.][c]
14 

The Lord upholds all who are falling
    and raises up all who are bowed down.
15 

The eyes of all look to you,
    and you give them their food in due season.
16 

You open your hand;
    you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 

The Lord is righteous in all his ways
    and kind in all his works.
18 

The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.
19 

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
    he also hears their cry and saves them.
20 

The Lord preserves all who love him,
    but all the wicked he will destroy.

21 

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
    and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.



Divorce31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Matt Zabawski's Testimony | Arlington Heights

May 30, 2025
Matt shared his testimony with the members and attendees of The Orchard Arlington Heights, and how he has seen God work throughout his life. My name is Matt and I grew up here at this church. I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart on the first day of second grade but I never really thought more about Jesus until my sophomore year of high school when Pastor Brad gave me a book on theology. With that book I grew to understand more of who Jesus is and what he had done. Unfortunately, that only lasted until I went away to college. 

Vince Massei's Testimony | Itasca

May 16, 2025
Vince shared with the staff at The Orchard Itasca how God has been moving in his life, and how Vince's life has been turned around through faithful obedience. Coming to The Orchard Itasca has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. Pastors Ryan Potelicki and Ryan Coburn have been everything I’ve ever wanted in spiritual leaders and then some! Through them, God has really let Himself be known to me. Having grown up Catholic, becoming an atheist for 10 years, then rediscovering the Lord, the deep-dives into scripture during the sermons have been exactly what I felt was missing in my past. Ever since God led me to those doors on George Street in Itasca back on Mother's Day 2024, I went from reading my Bible because that’s what a “good Christian” is supposed to do, to now looking forward to
