1 Samuel 19-20 - Bitterness in the Heart

2 Samuel 19 - Kingdom Minded

Why is it so easy to let personal priorities push God’s kingdom to the sidelines? As David returns to Jerusalem, Pastor Paul walks us through a series of revealing encounters that expose the difference between people driven by self-interest and those who genuinely seek the kingdom of God. You’ll see how Shimei, Mephibosheth, and Barzillai each respond to the king in strikingly different ways, and what their choices teach us about loyalty, repentance, and true devotion. This passage challenges us to examine our hearts and place God’s purposes ahead of our own so we can live fully kingdom-minded.

1 Corinthians 15 (Part 1): 1-11 - The Simple Gospel

Is the gospel really as simple as we’ve been told? In 1 Corinthians 15:1–11, Pastor Paul reminds us of the unchanging message that stands at the heart of the Christian faith. You’ll see why the gospel must be received, believed, and held fast, and how altering it empties it of saving power. Paul clearly lays out the core truth that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again according to the Scriptures, calling believers to stand firmly in this simple, life-saving message.

2 Samuel 16:15 - Samuel 18 - Pride Breeds Destruction

Why does pride blind us long before it destroys us? As Pastor Paul walks through Absalom’s final rise and fall, he shows how unchecked arrogance blinds a person to good counsel, distorts judgment, and ultimately leads to ruin. These chapters reveal the stark contrast between Absalom’s prideful ambition and David’s humble dependence on God. You’ll see how pride fuels rebellion, how humility protects the heart, and why Scripture warns that “pride goes before destruction.” This teaching invites you to examine your own heart and embrace the freedom that comes from walking low before the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14 (Part 3): 33 - Surrendering to God's Order

In 1 Corinthians 14:33, Pastor Paul shows how God’s very nature is revealed through peace, not confusion, and why disorder always leads to chaos and harm. You’ll see how God brings order into broken lives, why surrender is essential for lasting peace, and how the Holy Spirit gently works to transform chaos into harmony when we yield control to Him.
