Loyalty.
In the kingdom of Israel, tensions are escalating as Saul relentlessly pursues David, raising the stakes for Jonathan as he grapples with conflicting loyalties.
Will he stand by his father and his own claim to the throne, or will he align himself with David, God’s chosen King?
Similarly, we are faced with a similar choice by Jesus - where do our loyalties lie?
Will we follow Him unconditionally, even if it means sacrificing something, or will we be swayed by wanting to rule over our own lives?
Jesus also promises us that by choosing to follow Him, we will discover true life and fulfillment beyond measure.

Sermon: The Lord Gave Victory 29:07

29:07

What would happen if God gave you a great victory in life? How would you respond? What would that blessing be for? This Sunday, we’ll see what happens in David’s life as God keeps his promises and gives him victory after victory in battle. Most importantly, though, we see that victory isn’t for victory’s sake. In Jesus, we too have victory, and those victories are for the glory of God, the good of others, and your joy. 2 Samuel 8…

Sermon: Trust in His Promises 33:21

16 days ago33:21

33:21

David wants to honor God with a house. Instead, the Lord God blesses David with undeserved promises for the good of David and all humanity. This is how God intends for his people to live, then and now: by trusting in his gracious promises. This is how God teaches David to honor him, not by building a house but by trusting him as the God who makes and keeps his promises. God wants us to honor him in this way: by trusting in his promises through David’s greater son, Jesus our King.…

As we start back up with our sermon series called God’s King in the Book of Samuel, God’s people have experienced great blessing and seek to unite God’s King with God’s presence by bringing the ark of God to Jerusalem. As they seek to bless and be blessed by God, we’ll see that our methods, motives, and manner of worship matter to God, for us, and for all those around us.…

After years of their own sin and King Saul's sin, God's people need a king who is guiltless. They need a king who follows God and hopes in God to lead them. This week, we'll see that is just the king that David is. He will remain guiltless as the kingdoms come together and God's people will take pleasure in him as he rests in God.…

32:37

Are we there yet? This is a common question we ask at different times, whether as a child on a road trip or as an adult wanting to be somebody or somewhere already. It’s easy for us to feel like we have paid our dues and should have arrived at our destination. With that in mind, it’s easy to think the time was right for David to be King of Israel after Saul’s death. However, what David finds is different: a divided kingdom and opposition to his kingdom. David wasn’t there yet, but through it all, he grew stronger…

Have you ever found yourself in a tough spot without a plan asking God for His will? That's what happens to King Saul in this week's sermon.

God is working for our good by thwarting the evil that opposes his true King. That truth was good news for David, God’s king as Saul tried to kill him. This truth is good news for us, God’s people because our sinful hearts, Satan and the world want us to reject Jesus as King and live instead like we are. Jesus is not just the King we need, but he is also a better friend than we deserve. He is committed to loving us and defeating the evil in us so that we become people who find our deepest delight in him and his kingdom.…

Picking up just after David slayed Goliath, we’ll see King Saul is more concerned with having his kingdom than being a good King. While King Saul’s fear of losing his kingdom drives him to oppose David and even try to kill him, David’s humility shows, and the Lord continuously blesses his efforts…

We live like God is our refuge when we wait for him to act and pour out our hearts to him in prayer.…

When our blood boils for justice, when we are so wronged, so hurt, so betrayed, and it seems the injustice of our enemies has free rein, what do we do? We call on the name of God, we expect the God of the universe to right all the wrongs.It’s in Psalm 58 that we see this honest plea to our just God, but we also see a stranger expectation that the wrongdoers will bleed, and that the plight of the wicked would be to the joy of the Saints. David seems to wish harm upon his enemies, interesting. How does a Christian understand this Psalm, in what way can a Christian maintain a holy expectation of God’s vengeance.…

Who doesn't enjoy a good love story? Love stories are woven into the fabric of all our entertainment. They are a consistent undercurrent in our movies, television, music, and books. Not only this, but the desire we all feel for the love portrayed in these stories is woven into our very DNA because we've been created and sought by the One who defines what true love is. Yet so often we walk through life failing to believe that God loves and delights in His people. This Sunday we will see in Psalm 45 that we are invited to walk in the greatest love story ever - the one personally orchestrated by God our King. Ps 45…

David faces a no-win decision as Saul threatens his life repeatedly. He chooses to escape to the Philistines for safety despite being anointed by God as the future king. This raises the challenge of staying loyal to God, Saul, and Israel while under Philistine rule. Similarly, as followers of Jesus, we encounter challenging circumstances that test our loyalty to God and his mission. Will we trust Jesus as he leads us into strange, difficult, or hostile seasons and situations? 1 Samuel 27…
