In Mark 10:1-17, Jesus is tested by the Pharisees in matters of divorce. Jesus' answer fortifies that God loves marriage and hates divorce; but are there instances in which divorce is okay? Join us as we consider how the grace of God can impact the whole of your life.

As Jesus is transfigured before the eyes of Peter, James, and John, they stand in awe of the glorified Christ. Peter's temptation, however, is to speak rather than listen to the voice of God. How often is that also our own temptation? What would it look like for us to become people of prayer, people who actually listen to God?

As we start back into our study through the Gospel of Mark, Luke Proctor poses the question, "what does it take for someone to carry a cross?" Join us as we consider what the true mission of Christ is - an invitation to die to oneself and to rise in the will of Christ.

In this final sermon of our series through the life of David, Luke preaches on how David's life will ultimately be remembered. David's epitaph ultimately points us to the greater King in the line of David - the King whose reign will never end. His name is Jesus of Nazareth: the Christ, the Son of the Living God. David's life begs us to consider the question, how will your life be remembered?

In the final chapter of Samuel, the author cues us into a not-so-happy ending in which David's pride is on full display.

God has given each of us certain responsibilities and giftings, but it is not our responsibility to be God's upholders of justice. In this sermon, Luke challenges us to "hand over the badge" and let God be the sole administer of justice. What do you need to hand over to God in your life? How can you partner with God in his work in the world?

David most certainly did not live the most Godly of lives; read any amount of 1-2 Samuel, and you will see that is the case. However, David can rightly be called "a man after God's heart" because of his posture of repentance and turning away from his own sin and back toward God. How might David's repentance invite you into repentance for yourself?

On this Father's Day, Luke Proctor reminds the church that fathers are called to be spiritual leaders in their homes. While David succeeded in his fatherhood in some ways, we can learn a lot from the mistakes David makes and what it might look like to set our children up for spiritual success. How might God be calling you to lead your own family?

Regardless of the questionable actions David sometimes commits, it is undoubtable that he was a man who desired to draw near to God. However, drawing near to God can be a dangerous act; for at the heart of the relationship between God and humans is a difference between holiness and sin. What might you need to cleanse yourself of to draw near to God?

Steve White preaches on David's closest friends and the value of community in the walk of faith.

What do you do when someone throws a spear at you? The natural inclination would be to pick it up and throw it back; however, God calls us to a higher responsibility - one that hands all power over to God, trusting God's justice is true.

In this first sermon of our David series, Luke preaches on God's desire to hold your faithfulness in every part of your being - as deep as your heart. Will you allow God to search your heart to make you a more faithful follower?

David Reading Companion by Plainfield Christian Church

God calls us to surrender all of our most sacred parts of our lives to him, so that his will can be done in and through them - that especially includes surrendering our marriages to him. How might God be calling you to model and surrender your marriage in a holy way toward his will?

Everyone has experienced the feeling of trying something for the first time - driving a stick shift, a first kiss, playing a new game. Being a parent is the ultimate "first time experience." How can we learn to surrender our children to the will of God? How can we raise them in ways that form them and us toward Christlikeness?

There is a time and a season for everything in life. Luke Proctor preaches on the power of stewarding your time well in whatever season of life you may find yourself in. How will you use your time to bring glory to God in a fast-paced world in which it may be easy to say "I don't have time for God"?
