This week we pick up in 1 Samuel 25 as Pastor Brian continues our study in David. This chapter contains an account of 3 very unique characters —characters that we stand to learn a lot from.

In Philippians 1, Paul talks about a "partnership in the gospel" we have with fellow believers, but what does this mean? What did it look like in Paul's day, and what should it look like today? Pastor Brian goes to Acts to look at two of the very first partners in the gospel.

What we think are detours are God's destinations. This week, Pastor Brian looks at Paul's missionary journeys as well as his words in Philippians to see how God's plans are always better than ours.

What’s the most important thing you can do in 2022? Jesus was asked by a teacher of the law what the greatest commandment is, and Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. And the second is like it… to love your neighbor as yourself.” If this was Jesus’ answer, it should be our answer too. This week Pastor Brian takes a look at...

Our greatest need was met through Jesus: peace with God. This week, as Christmas Day draws closer, Pastor Brian goes to Matthew 1 to look at how Jesus brings us the salvation and redemption we so desperately need.

In this Thanksgiving message, Pastor Brian takes us to the book of Hosea in the Old Testament to discuss how thanksgiving keeps us from the sin of idolatry.

"Our true spirituality is tested by what we do when our adversary is vulnerable." This week, Pastor Brian takes us to 1 Samuel 23-24 to look at what David did when Saul, his enemy, was in a vulnerable position — and what God wants us to do when our own adversaries are vulnerable.

We all face times when things are looking down, and we’re tempted to think “if only.” This week, Pastor Brian takes us to an example of David in 1 Samuel 22 and Psalm 52 to show us how God wants us to turn our “if only” into “only God.”

Rest. Doesn’t that sound like such a good thing? Yet we seem to struggle so much with it. This week, PR takes us to Matthew 11:28-30, where we see the new perspective on rest that Jesus offers.

We all find ourselves in a "cave experience" from time to time. This week we look at what God did through David's life during his time in a cave. What does God want to do in YOUR cave?

What's your first reaction when you begin to fear? This week, we look at David's actions in 1 Samuel 21 and discuss the truths we ought to remember when we fear.

Jealousy always comes at a price. This week, we look at what Saul’s jealousy cost him, what was at its root, and what we can do with the Spirit’s help to battle jealousy in our own lives.

What does it mean to have a true friend? This week, Pastor Brian looks at the friendship between Jonathan and David and applies these lessons to our own relationships.

We’ve been learning that God sees things differently than we do — and we tend to let too much get in the way of seeing things His way. This week, Pastor Brian talks about what can eclipse our faith in God.

Through David's story, we've been learning that God sees things differently than we do. How do we need to adjust the way we view the world in order to view it like Jesus does? Pastor Brian takes us to 1 Samuel 17 to talk about it.

"With God, waiting time is not wasted time." This week we take a look at 1 Samuel 16 to see how God used waiting in David's life — and how he wants to use your waiting as well.

Pastor Brian wraps up his Everyday Disciplemaking series with a look at some men in the Bible who were excellent at making excuses. We must ask: do our concerns in this world align with God's concerns?

Do you believe prayer is important? Would your prayer habits say the same thing? This week, Pastor Brian finishes up his three-message series "Everyday Disciplemaking" with a message he entitled "Prayer: Don't Leave Home Without It."
