1 SAMUEL - Many people know the story of David and Goliath, with a young man's surprising defeat of a horrible giant. However, a closer look reveals that the story's result is really not as surprising as one might think.

1 SAMUEL - A look one of the most epic stories of the Bible: David & Goliath. What propels giant-defeating faith?

Despite our doubting, unbelieving hearts, the prophetic evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is overwhelming. Our challenge is so difficult, yet so simple: Believe.

1 SAMUEL - A second look at 1 Samuel 16 - looking at the Spirit of the Lord in Saul, David, and Christians today.

1 SAMUEL - As the narrative in chapter 16 of 1 Samuel introduces another central figure, David, we are reminded of all the circumstances in which God provides.

A guest message from Garvon Golden on Philippians 2:5-11.

A guest message from Brandon Pedersen on 1 Peter 1:3-5.

1 SAMUEL - This week, we look at another of king Saul's failures to heed the word of God, and also consider the nature of God's unsettling holiness.

1 SAMUEL - We concluded chapter 13 with the army of Israel vastly outnumbered by the Philistines, accompanied by king Saul making poor decisions. This week take a look at God's great ability to save, either by many or by few.

1 SAMUEL - This week, in chapter 13, we come to a pivotal point in King Saul's life. We take the opportunity to learn that God ought to be trusted with more than mere lip service, even when everything is falling apart.

1 SAMUEL - This week, we turn to Samuel's farewell address to the people of Israel as he nears the end of life. Samuel serves as a sort of defense attorney, prosecutor, and even judge at different points as he addresses the people of Israel regarding their history throughout his life.

1 SAMUEL - This week we turn to chapter 11 of 1 Samuel, reading on after Saul has become king, only to find that the Spirit of God is the only means by which one can truly defeat one's enemies.

1 SAMUEL - Last week we concluded our look at the unusual events that surrounded the anointment of Saul by the prophet Samuel. This week, back in chapter 10, we look at the events related to Saul's public presentation as the first king of Israel.

1 SAMUEL - As we begin chapter 10, and conclude the story of Saul being anointed king by Samuel, we take a look at the importance of living life in accordance with God's word while resting in his sovereignty.

As the New Year begins, we take a look at what it means to live in light of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.

With a guest message by Michael Wurtz, we take a look at how Psalm 51 informs our understanding of worship - through all of life - and how, by Jesus, one can anticipate dwelling in God's presence forever.

What do Christmas and pleasing your pastor have in common? In this sermon, we take a look at Christmas in light of Paul's letter to the Philippians.

In this sermon, at Christmas time, we consider the fact that God sent his Son into the world to be born under the law.

1 SAMUEL - In 1 Samuel 8, we saw that Israel turned from placing their trust in the Lord, and desired a king like the nations. In this sermon, we look at chapter 9, and at the beginnings of how God answered the Israelites' request.

1 SAMUEL - Although Israel seemed to turn back toward God in chapter 7, they did not ultimately place their hope in trust in him. In chapter 8, we take a look at the reality that we, along with Israel, are prone to place our hope in poor substitutes.

1 SAMUEL - Although there has been no word of Samuel since chapter 4, as the ark was captured by and wreaked havoc on the Philistines, he reappears in Chapter 7. In this chapter, we take a look at what kind of life leads one towards God's kindness in Christ.

Part 2 of a 2-part series on the glory of Jesus Christ in the opening verses of Hebrews. A look at the glory of God in Jesus Christ as Radiance, Representative, Sustainer, Priest, and King.

1 SAMUEL - Last week, in chapter 6 of 1 Samuel, we saw that we must seek God’s word alone for the answers to why God does the severe things he does. He is a God who wants to reveal himself both to the Philistines and Israel, put on display his glorious grace, and demonstrate the cost of sin. In this sermon, we look again at Chapter 6 to consider the responses of The Philistines and Israel to God’s...

1 SAMUEL - In Chapter 5 of 1 Samuel, we saw that Yahweh has no needs, unlike Dagon (the god of the Philistines) who needed human help just to stand! Yahweh is unique, holy and set apart from every other god. In chapter 6, we will see that the severity of Yahweh might not be like we would expect!

1 SAMUEL - A look at how all other gods are inferior to the true God, and why God is most glorified when he is served as the one who has no needs.
