Kings and Kingdoms - Week 2

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?

Kings and Kingdoms - Week 4

This week we walk through one of the most difficult and revealing moments in the life of Saul from 1 Samuel 15. Beneath the tension of the passage is a deeper question every disciple must wrestle with: will we trust God enough to obey Him fully? This message explores how partial obedience, self protection, and compromise slowly shape our hearts while also reminding us that Jesus is not trying to restrict our joy but lead us into true freedom and flourishing

Kings and Kingdoms - Week 3

This week in our series through 1 Samuel, we take a hard look at King Saul and discover how pressure reveals what’s really happening beneath the surface of our lives. Pride, fear, impatience, and self justification may be easy to hide for a season, but eventually what’s hidden comes to light. The good news of the gospel is that the very things we try to conceal are the things Jesus wants to heal.
