We continue this morning looking at the life of king David who lived and ruled over Israel about 1000 years before Christ. Today we come to First Samuel chapter 18. In chapters 16-17 the author introduces us to David. In chapter 16, we meet this teenage shepherd who God anointed as his choice to his king over Israel after he had rejected Saul, the kind of king the people wanted. Next, in … [Read more...] about THE LIFE OF DAVID: “The Favor & Disfavor of God” (9/27/20)

THE LIFE OF DAVID: “God Wins A Victory” (9/13/20)
We continue this morning in our series of messages about king David from the Old Testament. Today, we’re looking at one of the most beloved stories in Scripture—the story of David and Goliath. This, along with the story we looked at last week, is the way the author introduces us to David. Last week’s story revealed that David was the kind of king that GOD, not the people, wanted. And this … [Read more...] about THE LIFE OF DAVID: “God Wins A Victory” (9/13/20)
THE LIFE OF DAVID: “David — An Introduction” (9/6/20)
This week we begin a new series of messages from the Old Testament on the life of King David. There are several reasons for this. The first and most important reason is that David is one of the most important figures in the history of redemption. That’s because he, more clearly than any other Old Testament figure, (arguably) points to Jesus Christ. Jesus is called “the Son of David.” The … [Read more...] about THE LIFE OF DAVID: “David — An Introduction” (9/6/20)
LETTERS TO THE 7 CHURCHES: “The Lamb Opens the Scroll” (8/23/20)
This week, we continue to peer into the throne room of heaven as the apostle John reveals that glorious scene to us in Revelation chapters four and five. As we’ve said many times, in the Revelation, John is peeling back the external layers of this seen, material world and inviting us to gaze into the deeper, unseen, spiritual world that is constantly active and is controlling what happens in this … [Read more...] about LETTERS TO THE 7 CHURCHES: “The Lamb Opens the Scroll” (8/23/20)
LETTERS TO THE 7 CHURCHES: “Motivation for Faithfulness”(8/16/20)
This week, we move to chapter four of the book of Revelation. It’s fair to ask why, in a sermon series on the letters to the seven churches, you would also include chapters four and five? The letters end with chapter three and there is a very clear break between the first three chapters and chapter four. So, why does a series on the letters to the seven churches need to include chapters four … [Read more...] about LETTERS TO THE 7 CHURCHES: “Motivation for Faithfulness”(8/16/20)
LETTERS TO THE 7 CHURCHES: “The Church at Laodicea” (8/9/20)
We continue this week in our series of messages from two chapters in the book of the Revelation. We’ve been looking at the letters Jesus wrote to seven churches that were the original recipients of the book of Revelation. All these churches were in what is now western Turkey and what in the first century was called “Asia Minor.” As we have seen, of the seven churches, only two were spiritually … [Read more...] about LETTERS TO THE 7 CHURCHES: “The Church at Laodicea” (8/9/20)
