1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 - How Can I Be A Good Spiritual Leader

March 10, 2024 - 06:33 PM Sermon Series1 Thessalonians


Today, most men are encouraged to be couch potatoes rather than bold leaders. There are plenty of manipulators, scammers, and those who lack character in positions of power. More acute than the leadership crisis in the world is the crisis of leadership we have in the church. Many of us don’t know what makes a good spiritual leader or how to be one. Join us as we learn what the gospel teaches about good spiritual leadership.

2 Samuel 19:40-20:26 - The Corrupted Kingdom

January 07, 2024 - 06:32 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


Every election season politicians make promises. The promise to lower the debt, solve immigration, and reduce taxes while raising our benefits. What should we expect from our flawed leaders? As David's kingdom is restored after Absalom's coupe, we see the limits of human leaders and why Jesus is the better king we need.

2 Samuel 5 - The Rise Of David

April 02, 2023 - 07:43 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


In Psalm 130:5, David writes, “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word, I hope.” David waited over a decade for God to keep his word and make him king. The double-digit years of waiting were filled with discouragement, near-death experiences, and difficulty keeping peace in a nation at war. The story of David’s rise to power is an encouragement for all of us who find ourselves waiting for God to answer our prayers.

1 Samuel 26 - The Spear Makes The Point

October 30, 2022 - 10:34 PM Sermon Series1 Samuel


In 1914, Wrigley introduced Doublemint gum. The name came from chemists who realized a double distillation process improved the flavor. Just as doubling the flavoring process made gum better, in the Bible sometimes repeats similar stories to drive its point home. In 1 Samuel 26, David has another opportunity to take Saul’s life, but he again chooses to respect Saul instead of killing him. Join us as we find out why choosing not to take revenge a second time made things better.

1 Samuel 24 - Love Your Enemies

October 16, 2022 - 08:10 PM Sermon Series1 Samuel


In the movie The Straight Story, 73-year-old Alvin Straight from Laurens, Iowa, travels to Mt. Zion, Iowa, to mend a broken relationship with his 75-year-old brother Lyle from whom he was bitterly estranged. Alvin’s legs and eyes are too compromised for him to obtain a driver’s license, so he hitches a trailer to his used John Deere 110 tractor and sets off on the 240-mile six-week journey to restore the broken relationship with his brother while they are still alive. It is an amazing story of forgiveness and loving an enemy. 1 Samuel 24 is another story of the power of forgiveness as David finally has the chance to kill Saul. Instead of killing Saul, he chooses to love and forgive him. Join me as we learn the power of forgiving our enemies.

1 Samuel 14:24-52 - Snatching Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory

May 22, 2022 - 08:51 PM Sermon Series1 Samuel


If you love the game show Jeopardy, you are familiar with Mattea Roach. She was on a 23-game winning streak and well ahead of the second-place contestant when she wagered $1 too much in the Final Jeopardy round bringing her reign to a crashing end. She is not the only one to snatch defeat from the jaws of certain victory. As we continue our study in 1 Samuel, we see how King Saul snatched defeat from a certain God-given victory and what lessons we can learn to not follow in his footsteps.

1 Samuel 10:17-27 - Be Careful What You Ask For

March 20, 2022 - 08:11 PM Sermon Series1 Samuel


Porch pirating is a popular business. In New York City alone 90,000 packages go missing daily. What can people do to fight back against the thieves? Homeowners have come up with creative ways of payback. One inventor created a package called “the blank box”. It sets off a blank shotgun shell when the package is taken from the porch. Another created a package filled with manure that explodes when opened after being stolen by a thief. In those neighborhoods, porch pirates are thinking twice since packages are not turning out to be what they expect. This week, as we continue our series of 1 Samuel, the people of God get the king they asked for, but like a porch pirate opening a bait package, the king didn’t turn out the way they expected.

1 Samuel 8 - Give Us A King!

March 06, 2022 - 06:51 PM Sermon Series1 Samuel


This week the war on Ukraine dominated headlines. Behind the death of thousands and destruction of the second-largest nation in Europe is one man, Vladimir Putin. He has unchecked authority in Russia and enough power to destroy the world in war. How do tyrants like Putin come to power? What will they always do once in control? These are some of the questions we will cover this weekend as we continue our studies in 1 Samuel and look at the problem with a king.

January 30, 2022 - 07:18 PM Sermon Series1 Samuel


Statistics tell us that social media is putting teenagers under more cultural pressure. This results in over half of teenagers drinking alcohol and over forty percent of teenagers trying drugs. How should parents handle rebellion in the lives of their teenage and adult children? Join us this weekend as we continue our study in 1 Samuel and meet Eli’s rebellious sons. We will learn lessons on how to parent children who refuse to listen and the responsibility children have for making wise choices.

1 Timothy 5:17-25 - How Should I Treat My Church Leaders?

June 04, 2017 - 09:24 AM Sermon Series1 Timothy



When President Trump was running for office, he was invited on the Jimmy Fallon show. At the end of the interview, Jimmy asked if he could put his hand in candidate Trump's perfect hair and mess it up. Commentators from both sides of the aisle and later Jimmy Fallon himself regretted his actions. He showed a lack of respect for what would become one of the most powerful men in the world, the President of the United States. As Christians, we are not just to show respect to our political leaders but a congregation is to also show respect to their church leaders. Join us as we learn importance of honoring leaders in the church.

Genesis 47:13-31 - Scarcity and Prosperity in Egypt

November 27, 2016 - 08:06 PM Sermon SeriesGenesis



If you were in charge of the country, how would you lead? What programs would you create? What kind of help would you offer? As we continue our study of Joseph's life, the Bible steps away from the story of the relationship between Joseph and his brothers and looks at how Joseph managed a nation in crisis for 17 years. Along the way, we learn practical insights on how to be a good manager of people entrusted to our care.
