Friendship: David and Jonathan |
1Samuel 20 |
|
| Jack Dorman |
Becoming a true friend can be costly when the person we love as a friend falls on hard times. Loyalty often comes at a price. Jonathan demonstrates true friendship to David and loyalty to his father, the increasingly demented Saul. We need to learn both the value and the price of faithful friendship and then walk in both with a handful of folks God gives us in life. (mp3s available for both the 9am and 11am services.) |

The Unrequited Love of God |
1Samuel 16 |
|
| Geno Hildebrandt |
Saul forgot what it was to love God and be loved by God, and his life plunged into the torment of living in the rubble of his own failed dreams. David, however, though a young man, had a well-founded understanding of how to relate to God and man. The Lord wove their stories into a fascinating tapestry of spiritual contrasts. (mp3s available for both the 9am and 11am services.) |

God’s King |
1Samuel 16 |
|
| Geno Hildebrandt |
The great appeal, and the great lesson, of King David’s rise to power is essentially that of a nobody who becomes a somebody. An average person scorned who, once discovered, lives an above-average life. (mp3s available for both the 9am and 11am services.) |

Get Real - A Matter of Perspective |
Psalm 73 |
|
| Justin Christopher |
Most of us struggle with apparent injustice as wicked people prosper and the righteous do not … especially if the “righteous” is us! We see that struggle in today’s scripture and find that God’s response is to change us as much as our circumstances. |

Our Heart's Desire: One True King |
Deuteronomy 17 |
|
| David Taylor |
God has built into our hearts a desire for His Kingdom, a desire to be ruled by one true, great, Philosopher-King. This desire for a king and a kingdom speaks to us from the pages of Scripture as well as from our own experiences and is answered in the hope we have in Christ Jesus.

The Mary Miracle |
Luke 1 |
|
| Steve Hawthorne |
Understanding the incarnation is the starting point for understanding all of God’s redemptive miracles. We can take this lesson to heart when we realize that God is waiting for us to say “do unto me,” just as Mary did, and that he already has something wonderful, designed just for us. |

Mary, Model for Older Generations |
|
|

The Art of Singlehood |
|
|
| David Taylor |
God breaks into our lives with holy interruptions in order to upend the status quo. He does this through His Word, His Spirit, His people, and sometimes through supernatural experiences in order to birth something new, something better in us. The result of His work is to expand our heart’s capacity to receive his grace and expand our capacity to give grace and love to others. (mp3s available for both the 9am and 11am services.) |
