Kings and Kingdoms - Week 1

Kings and Kingdoms -Week 9

This week we examine one of the closest moments David came to compromising everything God had been shaping in him. Through the story of Nabal and Abigail, we're reminded that compromise rarely begins with rebellion but often grows from hurt, exhaustion, and wounded pride, and that God's grace often intervenes through faithful people who call us back to obedience. The invitation is simple: don't trade a lifestyle of obedience for a moment of compromise, because God's story is always bigger than the moment in front of you.

Kings and Kingdoms - Week 8

What story is shaping your life? In 1 Samuel 24, David stands at a crossroads where revenge, public opinion, and the pursuit of identity all compete for his heart. This message explores why the better story of Jesus always leads to forgiveness, trust in God's timing, and an identity that is received rather than achieved

Kings and Kingdoms - Week 7

When life feels like everything is working against you, it is easy to wonder where God is. In 1 Samuel 21–23, David finds himself on the run, facing impossible decisions, overwhelming fear, and painful betrayal. Yet through every challenge, God is not absent. He is shaping David's faith and teaching him to depend on Him. This message explores how God meets us in our darkest seasons, why we were never meant to walk through hardship alone, and how every part of David's story ultimately points us to the better King, Jesus Christ.

Kings and Kingdoms - Week 6

In 1 Samuel 18 & 19, we see Saul’s jealousy of David reveal how insecurity and self-focus can distort our view of God’s purposes and lead us toward self-destruction. In contrast, David responds with humility, faithfulness, and trust in God’s timing, reminding us that true victory comes through surrender to God rather than self-promotion. Ultimately, the passage points us to Christ, who humbled Himself and was exalted, calling us to live lives shaped by repentance, discipleship, and trust in God’s redemptive plan.

Kings and Kingdoms - Week 5

In 1 Samuel 16 and 17, we are introduced to David, a man chosen not because of his appearance, talent, or status, but because of his heart. As we contrast David with Saul, we discover that God is far more concerned with what is happening beneath the surface than what others can see. Through David's patience, character, and dependence on God, we're challenged to examine our own lives and ask: If we popped the hood of your life, what would we find?
