Senior Minister Austin Weece | Sunday, November 16th | We Are Family | Give > Receive | Giving is important to talk about. Giving is awkward to talk about. A generous church is one who receives well. It is good to receive. It is better to give. There is more to be done.

A Community that honors the Lord is not just Acquainted, but Devoted. What is a God-Honoring Community devoted to? Devoted to the Word. Devoted to Each Other. Devoted to Worship.

The Story of Josiah | 2 Chronicles 34-35, 2 Chronicles 36

A messy story of unkept promises, redeemed by a God who keeps his promises. The boy-king Josiah brought about a revival in the land, honoring the promises made long ago –keeping the Sabbath, renovating the Temple, removing idols, and obeying the Law. However, the final four kings of Israel were unwilling to remain faithful, bringing about the end of David’s throne. For hundreds of years, the people waited for God to fulfill his promise, and he did so in ways they could never have imagined possible. | Visit us at: https://live.cartervillechristian.com

The Story of David and Solomon | 2 Samuel 11-12:25, I Kings 1-2 

A messy story of hostility, redeemed by a peaceful God | David’s reign was marked by war and hostility. Not only was the warrior king battling against the enemies of Israel, but he also warred against the Lord. Both resulted in death and sadness. For this reason, David was not chosen to build the house of the Lord, but his son, Solomon, was chosen. As his name indicates, Solomon anticipates the coming of the Prince of Peace.

Senior Minister, Austin Weece | October 19th, 2025 - I Samuel 16:1-13, A messy story of how God values the heart over the outward appearance | When God was ready to choose the next king of Israel, he sent his servant to the home of Jesse in Bethlehem. To Jesse’s great surprise, the one chosen was the qatan, the least of his sons, who was left out in the fields. David was chosen because he was a man after God’s own heart (I Samuel 13:14). And to David would come the promise of an eternal kingdom, which is fulfilled in Jesus.

A messy story of those who are far from God, being brought near to God. 

God honors the loyalty and faithfulness of Ruth, a Moabite woman, by welcoming her into the home of Boaz of Bethlehem. As a result, Ruth becomes the great-grandmother of King David, placing her in the lineage of Jesus. Just as the Israelites were to be a light to the nations, so the heart of God is that the church will welcome those who are far from God to be brought near to God.

Numbers 13:26-33, Joshua 2, 6:22-25

A messy story of fear (the spies), redeemed by surprising courage (Rahab). 

Good stories have a foil—a character who stands in contrast to the protagonist. The courage of Rahab, the unlikely hero of the story, stands in contrast to the initial fear of the spies. On the other side of the story is a renewed courage to step into obedience. And, in the end, she is honored as a mother of Jesus.
