David's Sexual Sin - Part 1 26:00

1 day ago26:00

26:00

It’s easy to stand back and take shots at someone who’s been caught doing something wrong. And if you’re not careful, you could think or say with great indignation, “I’d never do anything like that!” If you feel that way, Pastor John has a warning for you today: Watch Out! David, the “man after God’s own heart,” the shepherd, psalmist, and king of Israel, thought he was living close to God. Then he did the unthinkable. Whatever you think is not a temptation for you might just be the path to your downfall. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 11 as he begins his message David's Sexual Sin.…

When God Says No - Part 2 26:00

3 days ago26:00

26:00

After King David had established his throne in Israel, he had a grand and noble idea. He wanted to build a house for God. But, the prophet Nathan told him that God said “No” to that idea. Today, Pastor John shows that God had an infinitely better plan for David: God would build a house for David’s descendants – one that would last forever. And God kept that promise when He sent Jesus, born of the house of David. You can be sure that God ALWAYS keeps his promises. To David. And to you. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 7 as he continues his message When God Says No.…

When God Says No - Part 1 26:00

4 days ago26:00

26:00

Have you ever had a really great idea of something you wanted to do for God? And you prayed about it, and planned it out, and talked to people about it, and everything seemed perfect. But then, it suddenly got shut down. Today, Pastor John gives an example of how that happened in the life of David. His great idea was to build a house for God. But God said no. Then he found out that God had a much better plan. And when God closes the door on your plan, you can trust that He has a better one for you, too. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 7 as he begins his message When God Says No.…

Bring Back the Ark - Part 2 26:00

7 days ago26:00

26:00

As David continued to establish his kingdom in Israel, it was vital to him that God would be at the center. So, what better way to do that than to bring the Ark of the Covenant to the new capital city of Jerusalem? But, as Pastor John will show today, it was a great idea but a disastrous execution. David didn’t check his Bible. He figured, as long as we get the ark there, what difference does it make how we do it? But as David will learn, and hopefully you’ll learn as well – God’s work must be done God’s way. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 6 as he begins his message, Bring Back the Ark.…

Bring Back the Ark - Part 1 26:00

As the story of David unfolded, there were many, many strange turns and delays. It almost seems as though there’s been no plan. Perhaps sometimes your life has looked that way to you, too. But don’t worry. As Pastor John shows today, God’s got it all under control, all the time. David came to exactly where God wanted him, exactly when he wanted him there. And you can have that same confidence as you watch the sometimes strange twists and turns of your own story. Just remember: God’s got this! Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 5 as he begins his message, Bring Back the Ark.…

David's Lamentation & Coronation - Part 2 26:00

If you have a job, you probably have a boss. And the boss tells you where you’re supposed to be working today and what you’re supposed to be doing. Imagine if you went in to work one day and said, “Boss, I’m going to work at such-and-such a place and here’s what I’m going to do.” Today, Pastor John reminds us not to treat God that way. There’s one correct way to relate to God, and that’s to ask Him for direction. “God, where do you want me to go, who do you want me to be, and what do you want me to do?” Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 1 as he continues his message, David's Lamentation & Coronation.…

People are often trying to figure out what God is doing in some particular situation and why. And while sometimes they might be able to make a pretty good guess, most of the time, it’s just a big mystery. Today, Pastor John explains that we shouldn’t be surprised by that. God’s knowledge and wisdom are infinitely beyond our understanding. But there is one thing you can know: God has a plan. And He’s working His plan out in your life and the lives of other people. And it’s a good, good plan. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 1 as he begins his message, David's Lamentation & Coronation.…

How many times have you made a great start at some endeavor? Maybe it’s a new diet. Or you’re tackling a new assignment at work. Perhaps it’s a project around the house. But somehow, the great start never makes it to a finish. Today, Pastor John reminds us, from the example of King Saul, that a great start is not enough. Saul began by trusting in God. But it didn’t take long before his eyes fell off of the Lord and onto himself. Use this example to remind yourself: start well, continue well, and finish well. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 28 as he continues his message, The King is Dead.…

When you ask people, “what is the opposite of faith?,” you’ll get a lot of answers. Some might just say “un-faith.” Others would say “skepticism.” But today, Pastor John points out the best indicator of a lack of faith: fear. Using the example of Saul in the Old Testament, he shows how Saul’s lack of faith led him into more and more overwhelming and ultimately frightening situations. Yet God is always ready to provide a way back – from fear to faith – but you have to decide that you’ll take that way. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 28 as he begins his message, The King is Dead.…

David's Darkest Days - Part 2 26:00

15 days ago26:00

26:00

When we read of the lives of God’s people in the Bible, we see a lot of drastic ups and downs. Sometimes, the hardships are caused externally. Sometimes, they come from attitudes or choices within. Today, Pastor John explores the heart-breaking story of David at his lowest of low times. He’s been out of God’s will for a long time, and now, finally, God has broken him. God’s love will see His people through all of their circumstances. He’s seeking you right now, wherever you find yourself. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 30 as he continues his message, David's Darkest Days.…

David's Darkest Days 26:00

26:00

You’ve probably heard of “self-talk.” There’s positive self-talk, where you tell yourself how good you are and how great everything is. And there’s negative self-talk, telling yourself negative things about yourself and your situation. But today, Pastor John tells us about a better kind of “talk,” and that’s God-talk. Talking to God. Prayer. When you direct your thoughts, the positive and the negative, to God, you’re sending them to the right place—to someone who can and will do something about them. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 30 as he begins his message, David's Darkest Days.…

Have you ever heard of “Preventative Providence”? Maybe you were in a situation where you got really angry and were about to do something you’d later regret. But somehow, something happened, and you didn’t get the chance to carry out your plan. Today, Pastor John says: when that happens, THANK GOD! And he gives a prime example from the life of David. By God’s providence, David was prevented from taking a very regrettable action. Look at your life. You’ll find examples of God doing that for you, too. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 25 as he continues his message, Beauty and the Beast.…

There are people who self-identify as “atheists.” They say they don’t believe in God, and they act that way. And there are many who self-identify as “believers” in God who act consistently with that belief. But today, Pastor John asks us to consider another category of people: those he describes as “practical atheists.” In theory, they believe in God, but in reality, they act as though He doesn’t exist. And it shows in the way they live. How about you? Where do you fall on the scale between real and fictitious faith?

David, the Caveman - Part 2 26:00

21 days ago26:00

If you watch almost any movie or read almost any book, you’ll find that in the end, the protagonist gets sweet revenge on his enemy. Evil was done to him, and he returned evil. Today, Pastor John lays out three choices for responding to others. One, you can return evil for good. Two, you can return good for good and evil for evil. Three, you can return good for evil. As you listen to an experience in the life of David, you’ll see how David provides a compelling example of how you can return good for evil. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 24 as he continues his message, David, the Caveman.…

David, the Caveman - Part 1 26:00

Some people believe that if you’re a Christian, God will make everything go really well for you. You’ll be healthy and prosperous. And if you’re going through any great difficulties, well, maybe that’s a sign that you’re not really a very good Christian. Tonight, Pastor John shatters that myth in his examination of the story of David. Although David was called “a man after God’s own heart,” God allowed him to go through extreme trials. So, take heart when you face trials in your life. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 22 as he begins his message, David, the Caveman.…

From Faith To Fear - Part 2 26:00

It’s interesting to think of all the things that someone could be afraid of. Stuff is happening in the world, in your country, in your city, in your family, and in your own life. It’s easy to focus on fear. But today, Pastor John brings a much-needed exhortation: do not let your fear conquer your faith! It can be tricky. Fear doesn’t always jump out at you. Often, it sneaks in gradually. When you consider how that happened to David, take a look at your own life, and don’t repeat his mistakes. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 21 as he continues his message, From Faith To Fear.…

Have you ever been in a “panic”? Maybe it was something small like you were ready to leave for work and you couldn’t find your car keys anywhere. Or maybe there was a situation at work where you were afraid you could lose your job. Today, Pastor John shows what can happen when a faithful, God-fearing person succumbs to the fear of man. Through a series of seemingly small steps, David declined from a life of faith to a life of fear. Hold strong to your faith, trust God, and don’t give space to fear. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 21 as he begins his message, From Faith To Fear.…

Of all the friendships we read about in the Old Testament, it would be hard to find a greater one than David and Jonathan. Today, Pastor John continues to explore these unique friends. What characteristics did they have? How did they treat each other? More importantly, how was their relationship built on their faith in God? You also can have strong, deep, intimate, and meaningful friendships when you develop these characteristics and when you put them into practice with your friends. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 19 as he continues his message, True Friendship.…

People have a lot of ideas about what it means to be a friend. Some think it’s more like a “fan” – someone who’ll always tell you how great you are. Others think of friends in terms of how many “followers” they have on social media. But today, Pastor John illustrates from the lives of David and Jonathan what true, biblical friendship is. Their friendship provided strength and encouragement. And it led both of them to a greater loyalty to God. You can have – and you can be – a true friend like that.

It’s isn’t easy to get everything to work out exactly the way you’d like it to go. It’s hard to get everybody to do what you want them to do. It’s even harder to convince God to go along with your plans. So, try what Pastor John recommends today: trust God. When King Saul started scheming against David, David didn’t reciprocate. Instead, he just kept on doing the right thing. And, over time, God brought him into His rightful calling. God will do the same for you as you put your trust in Him. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 18 as he continues his message, After the Victory.…

When people compete, they want to win. No team wants to come in second place. No one wants to be the first runner-up. But today, Pastor John tells us about a remarkable character in the Old Testament, a man named Jonathan. Even though he was the son of King Saul, he recognized that God had anointed David, not himself, to be the next king of Israel. And he accepted that with grace and humility. You’ll find your true place with God when you’re looking for God’s calling, not your own ambition.

When you’ve gone into a really tough situation, how have you approached it? Well, certainly, you’ve done your homework and preparation. Probably, you’ve devised a plan of attack, and you have your offense ready. But as Pastor John explains today, all the physical preparation you could possibly make – without reliance on God – will miss the point. When David defeated Goliath, it wasn’t his great skill that won; it was his great faith. And you can win your battles, too, with that same kind of faith. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 17 as he continues his message, Victory Over The Giant.…

When you get into a difficult or dangerous situation, where’s your focus? It’s easy to see and think about your obstacles or your opponents. But what about your faith? Today, Pastor John explores the compelling story of David – the shepherd boy, and Goliath – the mighty warrior. And it’s not just a story about an underdog. It’s a story about a young man of faith. David’s concern was for the Name of God and the glory of God. And when you focus on God, the giants in your life will diminish in size.

Usually, when we think of people who are used mightily by God, we think of “famous” people. Maybe it’s someone in the Bible, like Moses or the apostle Paul. Or perhaps it’s an author or an evangelist of modern times. But today, Pastor John points out that God wants to use everyone. You may not write a book or speak before thousands, but if your heart is seeking after God’s heart, He WILL have a purpose for you. And that’ll happen when you have a servant’s heart, a seeking heart, and a shepherd’s heart. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 16 as he continues his message A Man After God's Own Heart.…

A lot of people have heard of a person named David in the Bible. Some may know that he was the guy who killed a giant named Goliath. Others may know that he committed adultery with a woman named Bathsheba. But today, Pastor John shares that there’s a whole lot more about David than just those two things. And greatest of all is that he was “a man after God’s own heart.” You, too, can be a man or woman after God’s own heart. It’s what God’s looking for in you. And it can be your desire as well.

If you’re a Christian, that’s evidence that somebody evangelized you. It may have been your parents. Maybe it was a friend, or a neighbor, or a co-worker. Or perhaps it was a book you read. Even if you picked up a Bible on your own, you were evangelized by the words of Jesus and His apostles that are recorded there. Today, Pastor John explains how you can pass that on to others. It’s not difficult. You don’t have to be an evangelist, or a theologian, or an apologist. You just have to be saved.

When you think of a spirit-filled church, what comes to mind? Certainly, it would be founded on the Word of God. It would also be a loving and caring fellowship. And it would worship God in spirit and in truth. But today, Pastor John reminds us that there is a fourth mark of a genuine, living church: its mission. And just as the newborn church in the book of Acts lived “on mission,” so can you. God wants to give you the same heart for the world that He Himself has. And He’ll send you on His mission.

What is worship? Is it something we do? Is the person who’s playing the organ or the electric guitar “doing” worship? Are the people singing quietly or at the tops of their lungs “performing” worship? Today, Pastor John, without discounting our “acts” of worship, reveals that true worship is something deeper and more fundamental. It’s the response of our hearts and our imaginations to the amazingness of God. Whether in Creation or in Christ, you can be awed by God. Then you will be worshiping.

Signs, signs, everywhere signs. It’s easy to look at current events – in the world, or our nation, or even in the weather, and speculate about when the Rapture of the Church may occur. But, as Pastor John shares today, there’s a risk in doing that. It could make us complacent, thinking we have plenty of time to get ready because there’s “stuff” that hasn’t happened yet. So, Jesus CAN’T come – right now. But the apostle Paul expected His return at any time. And you can expect Him at any time, too.
