2 Samuel 12 - Sin's Consequences And God's Grace



One of the fictions we hear during the political season is that a leader’s personal life has no impact on public performance. We know that this is untrue. What happens at home never stays at home. It follows us to work. A personal life that lacks character and integrity will lead to a public one that looks the same. If ever there was a man whose private life influenced his public world, it was King David. After committing adultery and murder in private, this brought God’s public judgment on his family and nation. What must we do if we sin in private? If we ask for God’s forgiveness, can we escape the consequences of our sins? Join us in 2 Samuel 12 to find the answers to these questions and more.

1 Samuel 7 - The Power Of Repentance



William Leverett barged into a Connecticut church and confessed to worshippers that he was the man who killed a Harford jogger and mother four years before. Prior to his confession, the homicide had no leads. The pastor and a handful of parishioners knew what they had to do. They took him to the police and helped him turn himself in. William Leverett knew he could never begin to heal from his pain until he confessed and repented of what he had done. As we turn to 1 Samuel 7, we find the power of repentance to experience God’s forgiveness and favor in our lives.

John 21 - Built for Others




What does a life that pleases God look like? Does it mean our theology is tight? Does it mean we attend Bible studies, pray and read the Bible every day? While spiritual disciplines are good, we love God by loving his people. We are built for others. As we wrap up the Gospel of John, the final chapter challenges us to move from right beliefs about Christ to caring for others in the name of Christ as the way we express our love to God.
