The Word of God & the Afterlife What happens after we die, and how can we know for certain?

What if you held the cure to a deadly disease, but never shared it with anyone?

In this final installment of our Doctrines of Grace series, we unpack the Perseverance of the Saints and the foundational truth beneath it: we only persevere because God preserves us. Exploring passages across John, Hebrews, Ephesians, and Romans, we look at why the believer’s salvation is eternally secure in Christ’s double grip and what active, everyday endurance looks like in the Christian life...

If you're a Christian, how much credit does God deserve for your salvation—and how much credit do you get? Is it a 50/50 partnership, or is there something far deeper at play? In Part 4 of our series on the Doctrines of Grace , we dive into the "I" of TULIP: Irresistible Grace , often better understood as Effectual Calling .

Have you ever felt like your Christian walk is a constant game of spiritual Whack-A-Mole? You conquer one bad habit only to find frustration, burnout, or relational tension popping up somewhere else.

Instead of getting trapped in the exhausting "feedbac...

What happens when we stop trusting God? In this insightful message from 1 Samuel 14:24-52, we explore the chaotic and harmful outcomes of trying to take matters into our own hands. Using the life of King Saul as a cautionary tale, this sermon unpacks how a lack of faith drives us to grasp for control through micromanagement, empty ritualistic religion, and unhinged bravado. Contrast Saul's impulsi...

"Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf. Nothing can keep the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few."

This sermon unpacks the power of an active, expectation-filled faith. If you’ve been letting your own shortcomings or excuses k...

Is a little bit of compromise really that big of a deal? We often think that as long as we're "mostly" following the rules, we're doing just fine. But 1 Samuel 13 exposes the danger of partial obedience. Saul waited almost the full seven days for the prophet Samuel, but close wasn't enough. Join us as we look at how external pressure reveals what is truly in our hearts, why we try to validate our...

If you've ever felt disillusioned by earthly politics or standard authority figures, it’s time to look at a King whose throne...

In this message, we explore 1 Samuel 10:1–11:11 to understand the foundational patterns of biblical kingship.

In this episode, we delve into 1 Samuel 9 to explore the complex themes of human desire versus God's sovereign plan.

This sermon examines the irony of Israel's choice and the overarching truth tha...

In this special Easter Sunday sermon, we explore the unexpected but powerful parallels between the events of 1 Samuel 5 and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
