You've Got a Friend in Me Sep 11, 2022

Show notes

In this message from 1 Samuel, Pastor J.D. looks at one of the greatest friendship stories of all time—between the presumptive heir, Prince Jonathan, and the anointed king, David. This unlikely friendship challenges us to choose our own response to the one true King, Jesus. Will we, like Saul, resist him? Or will we, like Jonathan, yield the throne of our life to him?

Courage, Your Giants, and THE Giant Sep 04, 2022

Show notes

In this message from 1 Samuel, Pastor J.D. walks through the most famous story in the Old Testament—David and Goliath. Everyone knows this story, but few truly understand what it’s about. Goliath’s downfall isn’t an encouragement to underdogs or a guarantee that you’ll overcome every “giant” in your life. Goliath’s story shows us what true courage is, where courage comes from, and what God is up to when the Accuser’s voice is all we hear.

Better Not Call Saul Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

There’s a fine line between “thy kingdom come” and “my kingdom come.” Saul was a king who at first displayed humility, yet, as time passed his main concern became making a name for himself. In this message, Pastor J.D. continues our Life of David series, showing us how we, just like Saul and the people of Israel, often search for the wrong things.

A Faith That Sings Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

In this message Psalm 145, Pastor Curtis dives into the part of our worship service we most often take for granted—the singing. Have you ever wondered why we spend a third of our church time singing songs? Is it just a fun tradition … or is something more profound happening? Through this psalm of David—possibly the last words he ever wrote—we will learn not simply why we sing, but what God does in us and through us because of the gift of song.

Going Back to Go Forward Jul 31, 2022

Show notes

In this message Psalm 13, Pastor Bryan walks us through one of the most candid laments in the entire Bible. In Psalm 13, King David is squarely in the midst of crisis. He has far more questions than he does answers. He needs God to show up in a big way.
Like many of us.
The question is not, “Will we encounter a crisis?” The question is, “How do we get through it?” David charts us the way forward, encouraging us to bring our raw feelings to God, to remember the truth about God, and to defiantly sing of God’s unchanging love.

Life is Hard and God is Good Jul 24, 2022

God Is Great, but Give Us a King Jul 17, 2022

Show notes

In this message from The Life of David, Pastor J.D. shows us how all of us—religious or irreligious, Christian or not—seem hard-wired to chase after someone (or something) to make us feel okay. Like the people of Israel, we desire a king. We desire identity, security, happiness, freedom. And what 1 Samuel 8 teaches us is as simple as it is profound: Every king promises freedom; but every king but God only delivers slavery.
