Our first church service of 2017 brings us to a wonderful topic at the heart of Christian living – that is, the supremacy of the Word of God. This means that we hold the Bible as the sole and ultimate authority over any other sort of divine word or revelation. We learn this lesson by seeing how David returns to the Lord…

Sermons on 1 Samuel (Page 2)
We come to [esvignore]1 Samuel 19:18-24[/esvignore] where we see how David fled to his trusted shepherd, Samuel. Here we learn of the importance of good spiritual leadership among God’s flock. Second, we look at God’s response to Saul’s madness. Here Saul and all his men are humbled, their evil intentions thwarted. Yet in God’s mercy, we find lessons about being a rebel.…
Our message from [esvignore]1 Samuel 19:1-17[/esvignore] examines the marriage between David and Michal. Here we learn important lessons about character illustrated by the great difference in siblings – Jonathan, David’s friend and Michal, David’s wife. From this marriage, we also observe five lessons regarding marriage in general. Public reading: [esvignore]Psalm 59[/esvignore] 1 Samuel 19:1-17 Psalm 59
Our sermon continues into the life and times of David by studying how Saul offered David a wife from his own household in [esvignore]1 Samuel 18:17-30[/esvignore]. David’s response is very insightful, it shows us his humble nature. Our lesson examines David’s response to Saul’s schemes, then we look closely at the nature of God-pleasing humility. We learn 3 marks of false humility…
Our message comes from [esvignore]1 Samuel 18:6-16[/esvignore], the story of Saul’s envy and attempted murder of David. Saul is declining in his sanity, his sin and torment are pushing him ever-deeper into irrationality. As the Israelites celebrate the victory over the Philistines, the women sing and praise both King Saul and David, the new national hero. But Saul is displeased, for David…
Our message is from [esvignore]1 Samuel 18:1-5[/esvignore] where we find the beginnings of an unusual and unprecedented friendship. David and the royal heir-apparent, Jonathan, become the best of friends. This relationship is a model relationship for Christians. We will look at it in terms of redemptive history by examining the relationship between David and Jonathan, David and Saul, and David and the…
In this part two of our sermon on David and Goliath, we look at the latter half of the epic battle of champions. Our passage, [esvignore]1 Samuel 17:41-58[/esvignore], demonstrated three different ideas: First, the contrast between Saul, David and Goliath. Second, we examined the nature of the victory there in Israel, but also the greater…
Our message begins with a reading of the entire story told in [esvignore]1 Samuel 17[/esvignore]. This tale is one of great typology and serves to point us to so many gospel truths that we cannot cover them all in one message, and two sermons will only hit the high points. In our sermon today, we…
This week, we go to [esvignore]1 Samuel 16:14-23[/esvignore], where we learn how terrible a life without God really is. We also look at many of the ways that unregenerate people try to soothe the terrors and convictions they experience when they perceive that the wrath of God awaits them. Hopefully these various false-remedies will not be found in our own lives, for…
Note: We experienced some audio issues this Sunday, the first minute or two of audio are slightly distorted. Today’s sermon is from [esvignore]1 Samuel 16:1-13[/esvignore]. We turn the corner at this midway point in the story and get to meet David for the first time. Obviously, he is no stranger or obscure Bible character, we all should know David, his life, his…
