2 Samuel 24 - Needing A Better King

February 04, 2024 - 08:05 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


David saved Israel from their enemies through the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. In the book’s closing chapter, we find one enemy from which David couldn’t save the nation. That was God and his just wrath against their sin. Join us as we finish the book and see the need for a better king named Jesus!

2 Samuel 17:24-19:8 - Battle For The Kingdom

November 12, 2023 - 07:12 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


From 1955 until 1962, the world’s largest statue of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin loomed over Prague. The 17,000-ton monster dominated the skyline. When sculptor, Svec Polesny, applied to build the monument, he never expected to win the opportunity and spend the next five years of his life building it. During construction, the size of the project overwhelmed him. He fell into depression, became an alcoholic, and had an affair on his wife, which resulted in her committing suicide. As the monument neared completion in the spring of 1955, the project took so much out of him that Svec took his life. In the same way, Absalom was consumed with building a monument for himself. He wanted to leave a lasting legacy no one would forget. Like Svec, his attempt to build an unforgettable monument led to the end of his life. Join us as we study the story of Absalom, a man obsessed with being remembered.

2 Samuel 17:1-23 - God's Plans Or Man's Plans

November 05, 2023 - 08:15 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


In most cases, we are told of biblical figures to emulate, such as Enoch, Noah, Moses, and Jesus. There are other biblical figures we are told to avoid, such as the Jews who hardened their hearts after the Exodus and Lot’s wife. At the top of the list of biblical characters to avoid in the Old Testament is Ahithophel. He was an evil genius committed to destroying the life of David. In this chapter, we learn about the difference between man’s plans and God’s plans. No matter how brilliant or creative we may be, God’s plans will always prevail. That is why it is always wise to work with God’s plans for his chosen king instead of against them.

2 Samuel 16 - From Friends To Foes

October 29, 2023 - 09:19 PM Sermon Series2 Samuel


On September 11, when the Twin Towers in New York were attacked, many were late for work. They were frustrated because they were caught in traffic or overslept their alarm. What appeared to be a problem was God’s grace in their life as they were not in the World Trade Center when it was attacked. Many times, God has a way of taking the evil plans of those who are against us and carrying out God’s grace to us through it. In 2 Samuel 16, we meet three of David’s enemies who are unwittingly used for God’s good purposes.

1 Samuel 22:6-23 - The Antichrist

October 02, 2022 - 07:13 PM Sermon Series1 Samuel


Bryan Brown is a Christian attorney licensed to practice law in Kansas and has been admitted to the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court. His application to the Indiana Board of Law Examiners was denied based on his admitted adherence to God’s laws above human laws. He was required to receive a psychological assessment after they asked him about his views regarding the final judgment, sexual morality, and gender roles. The Letters of John remind us we should not be surprised when the spirit of the antichrist shows up around us and we are hated like Jesus. Join us in our study as we meet an Old Testament antichrist and learn how to avoid his seductive work to destroy God’s people.

January 23, 2022 - 09:15 AM Sermon Series1 Samuel


On February 7, 2021, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Superbowl with a score of 31-9. A Superbowl victory deserves a celebration. How would the city of Tampa celebrate in a COVID world? To encourage people to keep their distance, the city celebrated with a boat parade down the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa. In our study of 1 Samuel, we have seen God rescue Hannah from her barrenness by the birth of Samuel. How will she celebrate God's win in her life? Join us this weekend as we learn how she celebrated God’s victory and the promise she saw of a win for God’s people in the future.

Mark 14:12-31 - Jesus And Betrayal

September 20, 2020 - 10:53 AM Sermon SeriesGospel of Mark



Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are forever etched in American history. Julius worked for the United States government and was given access to top-secret military plans for jets and nuclear weapons. What no-one knew is Julius was also a communist sympathizer and Russian spy. At a time when the United States was the only country on earth to possess nuclear weapons, he shared the United States nuclear secrets with Russia and started the arms race. As a result of betraying his country, both Julius and Ethel were executed. Do you ever feel like the Rosenbergs? Have you betrayed someone? Have you betrayed God and broken your promises to Him, turned you back on Him and been unfaithful to Him? How does Jesus treat those who betray Him? Join us as we learn how Jesus handles betrayers like you and me.

Mark 13:1-23 - Jesus And The Destruction Of Jerusalem

August 30, 2020 - 10:22 AM Sermon SeriesGospel of Mark



Harold Camping is famous for being a false prophet. On billboards around the country, he told the world Jesus was coming back on May 21, 2011. As we all know, he was dead wrong. As Jesus leaves Jerusalem for the final time, he predicts Jerusalem's destruction. Unlike Harold Camping, he was right. This provides further proof that Jesus is God, because only God know the future.

A 2015 Gallop poll revealed 75 percent of Americans identify themselves as Christians. If that were true, don't you think our country would be different? Don't you think the comments we read in social media would be kinder? That Gallop poll revealed many people want to casually associate with Jesus but in truth far less are interested in following Jesus.

Ephesians 2:1-10 - But God...

February 02, 2014 - 04:01 PM Sermon SeriesEphesians



My daughter loves gymnastics. One of her favorite moves is the splits. It hurts to see her legs stretched in opposite directions. In Ephesians 2, Paul forces us into the spiritual splits by stretching our mind to understand the darkness of our sin and the magnificence of our blessing through Christ. Stretching is good for us, but it can hurt. In the same way, the spiritual splits are tough on us while they are good for us.

It is easy to see what is wrong in life. The family overslept so the kids are late for school. The car wouldn't start so the budget faces an unexpected repair. While it is easy to see what is wrong, in the introduction to Ephesians, Paul helps us see what is right and how blessed we are by God through Jesus Christ.

John 18:1-19:16 - Life Feels Out of Control!

August 11, 2013 - 09:54 AM Sermon SeriesGospel of John



A drunk driver runs a red light and broadsides a car. The passenger, a bubbly 13 year old junior high girl, is paralyzed for life. Where was God? How could he let this happen? A hard-working father finds himself unemployed for over a year. His job was sent overseas to swell the company's bottom line. Struggling to find work, his sense of self-esteem is shattered. His family scrapes by and his wife works minimum wage jobs. God, where are you? How could you let this happen? Sometimes life feels out of control. Is God there? If he is there, how much control does he have over our life? As we look at the betrayal Christ, we find the answer.

Daniel 9 - Moving the Heart of God

February 10, 2013 - 02:01 PM Sermon SeriesDaniel


God is sovereign over all things. Last week, we learned God decrees events of history hundreds of year before they come to pass. If God is so sovereign, why pray for a friend who has cancer? Won't God do what he already planned? In this passage, we discover why we pray to a God that sovereignly ordains all things.

Daniel 8 - Does God Know Who Will Win the Super Bowl?

February 03, 2013 - 02:46 PM Sermon SeriesDaniel


This Sunday, the 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens face one another in the Super Bowl. Who will win? This week, Sports Illustrated's cover story asked the question, "Does God care who wins the Super Bowl?" Only 27% of Americans said, "Yes." Most Americans believe either God doesn't know or doesn't care about football. How much control does God have over our life? How much does God ordain of our future? In Daniel 8, we discover the answer.
