Sleeping Through Judgment, Standing in Sovereignty

Are you spiritually asleep while real threats move in? In this weeks sermon, Pastor Brad Andrews explored 2 Samuel 4, and discovered a powerful truth: faithfulness isn't about one heroic moment—it's about ordinary obedience in the day-to-day.

Seeking Influence, Greatness, and Justice the Lord's Way

In the fog of life's battles, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. This past Sunday, Brad Andrews showed us from 2 Sam. 3:1-39 what it looks like to pursue influence, greatness, & justice in ways that honor God rather than ourselves. Will we walk in step with the King?

God Guides the Humble, Not the Hurried or Haughty

God guides the humble, not the hurried or the haughty. This past Sunday, Pastor Brad Andrews showed us from 2 Samuel 2:1-32 that the spiritually mature listen before they act, but that the spiritually immature rush ahead of God. Are you running ahead of God or walking with Him?

God's Purposes Advance Through Painful Providences

God's purposes advance even through painful providences. From 2 Samuel 1, Pastor Brad Andrews showed us how, in David's grief, faithfulness didn't mean pretending loss wasn't loss. We can grieve honestly while trusting confidently b/c sorrow and hope are never at odds with God.

Prison, Prayer, Pride

Acts chapter 12 presents us with a profound paradox that challenges our understanding of faith and divine sovereignty. We encounter two apostles, both faithful servants of Christ, yet facing dramatically different outcomes. James is executed by the sword, while Peter miraculously escapes from prison through angelic intervention. This stark contrast forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: faithfulness to God does not guarantee immunity from suffering. The passage reveals that God's sovereignty operates beyond our human preferences and limited understanding.
