The book of Galatians is like a stick of dynamite that has changed the world. In the opening verses, we are introduced to Paul (the author), the Galatians (his audience), and the reason he wrote this important book (the Gospel). Pastor David preaches from Galatians 1:1-5 in a message titled, "An Apostle For the Gospel."

As we conclude the Life of David series, 2 Samuel 23 records for us David's last public words. A person's last words reveal a lot about their life. David's last words reveal show us a life lived enjoying the benefits of a relationship with God. Pastor Doug preaches from 2 Samuel 23:1-7 in this message titled, "The Benefits of God."

We are all susceptible to pride and King David was no exception. When David became prideful and began trusting in his own strength, God had to deal with it. But in the process, we see a picture of how God deals with all of our sin – through the costly sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ. Pastor David Horner preaches from 2 Samuel 24.

Give thanks to the Lord! Today, Pastor Doug looks at David's Psalm of Thanksgiving in 2 Samuel 22.

In 2 Samuel 18, David's rebel son Absalom meets a terrible end. Pastor David shows us what we can learn from the story's three main characters, Absalom, Joab, and David, and how God did for us in Christ what David only wished he could do for Absalom.

With the new year ahead of us, Pastor Doug Horner shares a message from Luke 10 and John 11 about Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, encouraging us to make time for God in 2025.

The time had come for Elijah's ministry to end. He was going to be taken to heaven in a flaming chariot, but who would take his place? Enter Elisha. In this message, Pastor Doug Horner talks about passing the mantle through discipleship of the next generation.

Vicki Langner shares at the Ladies Christmas Tea 2024 from Isaiah 60:1-5. Christmas is about the light of Jesus piercing the darkness of our world. Indeed, Christmas changes everything.

As David went on the run from his son Absalom, many people thought his kingdom was coming to an end. But God's sovereign hand was preserving David even in this dark time. Pastor Doug preaches a message from 2 Samuel 16-17.

David's passivity made Absalom ripe for rebellion. In Absalom's betrayal of David and David's subsequent exile, we see a vivid picture of David's future descendant: Jesus Christ. Pastor David Horner preaches from 2 Samuel 14-15 in this sermon titled, "A Tale of Three Kings".

When David's son Amnon gave way to his lust for Tamar, tragedy ensued. 1 Corinthians 10 tells us that these stories are written down for our instruction so that we may not desire sin. Pastor Doug preaches on the realities of lust from 2 Samuel 13.

When we sin and fail miserably, does that mean God is done with us? 2 Samuel 12 shows us this isn't so. After David's biggest failure, God pursued him demonstrating the extent to which his grace goes to rescue sinners.

After David committed adultery with Bathsheba, he engaged in an elaborate cover-up, even having her husband Uriah killed in an effort to keep his sin secret. The passage reveals the deceptive and dangerous nature of sin, often having a snowball effect in our lives. Pastor Doug preaches from this passage in a message titled, "The Call of Conviction".

David stayed back while his army went out and found himself gazing and lusting after a woman named Bathsheba. David's temptation led to his adultery with Bathsheba, a decision that would bring tremendous consequences in his life. In this sermon, Pastor Doug shows us how to deal with the temptation and reminds us of the perfect King who died so that even our greatest failures can be forgiven.

When David offered kindness to Mephibosheth, he received it and was invited to eat at David's table. But when David offered kindness to Hanun, he rejected it and declared war on David. In the contrast of these two stories we see a picture of Christ who offers his kindness to us, and the difference between receiving or rejecting that kindness.

Even mighty prophets of God get discouraged. After Elijah faced off with the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel, he fled for fear of his life at the threat of Queen Jezebel. But instead of letting him sing "the lonely prophet blues", God called him out of his depression and back to his ministry.

In the midst of his success, David reflected God's heart to Jonathan's son Mephibosheth. In his actions, we see a picture of Christ's heart toward us.

When God says no, it can dissapoint us but it ought to excite us! Every "no" from God is dripping with as much grace as every "yes" and David learned that in 2 Samuel 7. Although David wanted to build God a house (temple), God said no and promised to build David a house (dynasty), finding its culmination in the Son of David: Jesus Christ.

When David brought the ark to Jerusalem the right way, a huge celebration ensued. David worshiped God with reckless abandon, unashamed and unapologetic. How does this reflect what our lives ought to look like as we live lives of worship to God? Pastor Doug preaches from 2 Samuel 6:5-23.

Today we return to an episode in the life of David where the ark of God is brought back to Jerusalem. It's a wonderful moment until a man named Uzzah reaches out and touches the ark. Pastor Doug preaches on 2 Samuel 6:1-8 in a message titled, "The Right Thing, The Wrong Way."

Georges shares from his own experience from planting churches in countries like Kosova, Yemen, among the Kurds, and others to demonstrate that when you are willing, God will use you to do what seems impossible.
