Kings In Conflict Part 1
September 7, 2022
Too often, we cling to our lives and our possessions as if they belong to us, not God. This was Saul’s posture towards the kingdom God had entrusted to him. In this message, we distinguish three contrasts between King Saul’s character versus David’s. David begins to endure a long period of conflict, running as a fugitive while Saul burns with jealousy.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

The giants we face can make us feel utterly outmatched. Why was it that David was able to withstand his giant when nobody else was? In this message, we find three lessons to help us face our giants with a God-sized imagination. Whether ours is a decisive victory or a drawn-out battle, no giant is bigger than God.

When we face insurmountable obstacles, we often ask, “Where is God?” David faced a literal giant named Goliath. In this message from 1 Samuel 17, we paint the picture of the pagan giant and the paralyzed army. What if our seemingly giant-sized problems are ultimately not the issue?

God chose David unexpectedly because of the integrity of his heart—not his outward appearance. If we were choosing a king, we would naturally choose a warrior not a teenage boy who tends sheep. In this message, we ponder the characteristics of the heart that God saw in David. What is the state of our hearts?

It’s impossible to predict whom God is going to greatly use. God evaluated the shepherd boy, David, differently than his brothers did—without regard to appearance, personality, or intelligence. In this message, we follow David’s family tension through God’s selection of a new king. God used the conflicts of David’s early family life to prepare him to become king.

Waiting for God—it goes against our instincts. But waiting for His timing guarantees that things happen at the right time, even if it means our final salvation will take place in glory. In this message, we find three practical ways to wait on God. After all, it is only when we wait for God that we’re able to do what is beyond our abilities.

Whether it’s long grocery lines or long waits for answered prayer, God uses these unplanned “waits” to mold our character. There is a sharp contrast between human manipulation and God’s timetable. In this message from Psalm 37, we investigate four ways we should wait for God. Let’s slow down and let God be God.

It’s the height of folly to think we can hide our sins from God. Caught red-handed in great sin, David came clean before God and others. In this message from Psalm 32, we identify three lessons for anyone who attempts to hide their sin. What does it take to be fully forgiven by the God who sees everything we do?

Time will deaden the conscience—not cleanse it. Sin has both immediate and long-term consequences, and only being fully forgiven removes our sense of condemnation. In this message from Psalm 32, we study three stages of David’s confession of sin: the burden, the agony, and ultimately the blessing. Will we expose our soul before our forgiving Savior?

We might agree that God is in control of everything, but do we trust Him with our lives? God has revealed Himself to us as a Shepherd. We can relax in His loving care. In this message from Psalm 23, we consider four lessons for needy sheep like us. Let’s learn the value of the personal pronoun by asking ourselves: “Is He ‘my’ shepherd?”

We can feel unworthy of God’s blessing. We are, in fact, unworthy but He chooses to bless us. The Great Shepherd takes an interest in every lamb. In this message from Psalm 23, we reflect on how God, our Shepherd, guides, protects, and comforts His people like sheep. Though we are incredibly needy, He takes responsibility for us.
