When we deserved justice, the Lord showed us grace and kindness. In 2 Samuel 8–10, David was establishing his kingdom in Jerusalem. Remembering his covenant with Jonathan, David sought out Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, and showed him extraordinary kindness. Pastor Lloyd highlights this beautiful picture of God's grace toward us through Jesus Christ, who has shown us mercy and invited us to sit at His table as His children. To reject such a gift would be foolish.

Pastor Robert will kick off the series with a message from Acts 9 titled, “From Persecutor to Preacher,” looking at the powerful conversion of Saul of Tarsus and how God can radically transform any life for His glory.

Bad news often comes before good news. In 2 Samuel 7, David desires to build a house for God, but the Lord reveals that David is not the one who will accomplish that task. What may have seemed like disappointing news was actually the doorway to something far greater. God promises David an everlasting kingdom and points forward to the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Lloyd as he explores how God's plans often exceed our expectations, teaching us to trust Him when His answer is different from what we had hoped.

Pastor Vinny will be sharing a message titled, “From Bitterness to Forgiveness,” out of Romans 5:8. As we look at the depth of Christ’s love for us—even while we were still sinners—we’ll be encouraged to let go of bitterness, walk in forgiveness, and experience the freedom that only the gospel can bring!

In this message, Pastor Lloyd looks at David’s desire to seek the Lord and follow His direction, especially in times of battle. David’s victories remind us that the Lord was with him, guiding and establishing him as king. Yet Scripture also honestly records David’s failures, including his compromise with multiple marriages and his mishandling of the ark’s return. Through David’s life, we see both the seriousness of obedience and the faithfulness of God toward those who remain sensitive to His voice.

Pastor Cory Kilgus and his wife, Danielle, have been serving as missionaries in Peru since 2013, planting churches and raising up leaders throughout South America through Calvary Bible Institute Peru.

David’s throne is finally established as he becomes king over all Israel. Pastor Lloyd highlights David’s unique role as the “Shepherd King,” a title that ultimately points forward to the true King, Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd. In this message, we’ll trace Israel’s turbulent history and see God’s faithful plan to redeem and restore His people, leading them back to their rightful Shepherd and King, Jesus Christ.

Last week, Pastor Robert Baltodano opened Psalm 13 with David’s honest cry, “How long, O Lord?”—reminding us that faith isn’t threatened by honest questions, nor does it require having all the answers.

Tonight, we’ll look at Psalm 13:3–6 and see David’s shift from confusion to confidence: “But I trust in Your unfailing love.” Even when circumstances don’t change, we’re reminded to anchor ourselves in God’s character, lift our eyes in the waiting, and choose worship before the answers come.

In this Mother’s Day message, Pastor Lloyd focuses on the God-given calling of mothers. Mothers have the responsibility of showing God’s grace and love to their children. Motherhood is an apprenticeship in God’s grace, teaching both sacrifice and compassion. Spiritual motherhood is crucial in nurturing children, pointing them to follow and love the Lord.

If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, dryness, or feeling distant from God, this series will help you deal with those times of silence. Join us this Wednesday as we learn how to stay honest with God in the silence—and how to choose trust even when nothing seems to change. We will be looking at Psalm 13:1-2, as we learn how to be honest with God.
