Aug 14, 2016“The Open Window Shade”By: Pastor DavidSeries: King David2 Samuel 11:1 -12:24So far we’ve seen the brilliant hues of David’s faith and the somber colors of his failures. This Sunday we come to the blackest part of his portrait: David’s adultery with Bathsheba and its tragic aftermath. We don’t study this to condemn David, but to humbly learn. This story is Scripture to warn us of sin’s destructive power–even in those who love the Lord. We’ll learn the pain of judgement, but also the release of repentance, and even joy of forgiveness.

Aug 7, 2016“The Shepherd King”By: Pastor DavidSeries: King David2 Samuel 2:1 “Some time later, David questioned the Lord, ‘Should I go to one of the towns in Judah?’” “Yes, go,” the Lord told him. “Which one should I go to?” David asked. “To Hebron,” the Lord replied.”After years of running for his life from King Saul, the news finally came that Saul had died. Not only was David finally rid of his nemesis, the window opened for him to seize the throne! What did David do? He waited to be told what to do. What? Why didn’t he jump at the opportunity, you know, “Seize the day!” “Faint heart never won fair lady” and all. But David had learned from his painful mistakes, that he had to turn to the Lord for guidance. So David waited for God to guide his steps. This is a lesson we all need to learn. This Sunday we’ll explore how we can learn to make our decisions while “waiting on God.”

Jul 31, 2016“Cave Dwelling”By: Pastor DavidSeries: King David1 Samuel 22:1-2, 1 Samuel 24Crutches can become problems. When we are experiencing difficulties, we lean on crutches to help support us and carry us while we are healing. Yet there comes a time when, in order to continue to heal, we need to remove the crutches. If we don’t, we will learn to depend on them in unhealthy ways. This Sunday we’ll look at how God removed the crutches that David was clinging to during his years of being on the run, and we’ll be reflecting on the crutches that God is calling us to put away so that we can live fully into our futures!

Jul 24, 2016“A Fast Friend”By: Pastor DavidSeries: King David1 Samuel 18:1-5, 1 Samuel 20David had a fast friend in Jonathan. When we read this part of David’s story, we see that it is Jonathan who is the one who acts in a godly way, especially in the times of David’s struggles. Who has God placed as strategic friends in your life? How have they carried you through hard times? This week we’ll see what godly friendship looks like, and learn how we can be such a friend!
- Jul 17, 2016“The Giant”
Jul 17, 2016“The Giant”By: Pastor DavidSeries: King David1 Samuel 17:1-58Giants are strong! We try to tackle them in our own strength, and they overpower us. What giants do you face? Is there a giant opposing you in your relationships, in your fiances, in your family, in your marriage, in your health, in your job? A teenager named David faced a very tall man, but that man wasn’t his giant. David claimed God’s power in his battle, and “the giant came a-tumblin’ down!” Come this Sunday to hear how God gives this power to everyone who turns to Him. The secret is having a heart for God!

Jul 10, 2016“Only a Boy Named David”By: Pastor DavidSeries: King David1 Samuel15:24-16:13This Sunday we begin our summer message series on David. David was a famous king in the Old Testament, ruling about 1000 B.C. He was famous for killing the giant Goliath. Yet what makes him most interesting for us today is that he was a person much like us: he had his strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures, and although he loved God with his whole heart, he struggled to follow God’s leading in every part of his life. We’re going to take a closer look at David and see how we can also become people after God’s own heart. This Sunday we’ll take a look at his childhood as the shepherd of his family’s sheep. He was chosen to be the next king of Israel while still a lad, but this only put him into harm’s way. Don’t miss this first message as we explore how what we do in our “down times” often determines how we hold up in the important times.
