Our very first sermon at our new location, a message on adoption preached by Care Pastor Kevin McCauley.

Pick up some rocks! On our final Sunday at Hoover Middle School, Max revisits an old sermon in a new light to tell us what God teaches on remembrance, place, culture, and marking the moment.

Today, guest Chris Tenny observes what we can learn from the interaction between Jesus and the lawyer in the famous story of the Good Samaritan.

One key to living well? A clear vision of dying well. Look at how David anticipates his death and passes the torch to Solomon.

The power of confession, the consequences of action, and the good freedom in getting real about sin.

After David's great sin, the dominoes begin to fall as violence and lust characterize the royal family – but God won't abandon His children to the pit!

When David 'arrives' at greatness, his pride allows him to misstep greatly, and the dominoes begin to fall.

See how different characters give and receive loving kindness, and how God is the ultimate giver of this type of Love.

God wants to expand our vision of who He is, what He can do, and what He has planned for us as individuals and as a church.

What's your posture of worship before the Lord?

Sometimes waiting is really good for us. How has God grown you in season's of waiting when you were chasing quick change? What does God want to build through you, over the course of months, years, and decades?

Guest speaker Finny Abraham teaches us about biblical fun from Jesus' time at the Wedding at Cana.

Loss is part of the human experience. Watch how David responds to a unique loss, and what it means to lament.

Sometimes, God brings us low, where we feel totally crushed, so that he can humble us and shape us into the image of His Son. Out of this humble posture, we see David spring to life with courage, generosity, and bold leadership.

He is Risen! Join Thomas as he wrestles with doubt, makes terms for belief, and encounters the risen Christ.

Dive into two Psalms of David this week, and hear a brief song from Worship Director Erin, which she wrote during a time of wilderness. Note: the video doesn't show at the beginning, but is fixed later on.

Why does David pick up stones to fight Goliath, but restrain himself when he has the opportunity to kill Saul? Dive into David's powerful restraint today in 1 Sam 24.

Are you in the wilderness; are you feeling the ache? David is on the run in the wilderness, in the cave of Adullam; God forms human character in the wilderness.

Jonathan is close, loyal, and sacrificial; we all need friends like this.

David comes back from battle just to face another opponent close to home – King Saul. Jealousy spirals from comparison and desire into hatred and violence. We're all capable of slipping into this spiral, but the good news is that we're never too 'bad' for Jesus, and we can have the same secret ingredient David had. Let's dive into 1 Sam 18!

David approaches Goliath, wages a war of words, and finally defeats his giant. What does this mean for us?

Who's the giant? What purpose does fear play in the realm of human emotions? What are David's first words? Find out in the first sermon on David and Goliath.

Today, we get to David! David enters the scene as Justin discusses this man after God's own heart, how humans look at outward appearances, but how God looks at the heart.

Today, dive into Saul's kingship, God's sovereignty, and the human desire for a good leader.
