This Lord’s Day we asked “What Child is This?” Our sermon text, [esvignore]Luke 2:1-21[/esvignore], will led us to the manger, but did not linger long, for the fullness of scripture gives us the answer about this child’s unique identity. Our sermon addresses the various roles, the many names, and the multi-faceted aspects of His mission. It is largely a whirlwind tour of…

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 is taken from [esvignore]Matthew 6:19-21[/esvignore]. In this message we learn the nature of treasure, the place of its keeping, and how the object of our heart’s desire will determine so much about our personal life and our churches. In fact, it was a love of money that contributed to the need for Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. In this…
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…
