Each of us faces moments of temptation, but the question is: how will we respond? How do we conquer these urges? Join us this week to discover how to navigate these critical moments with strength and conviction!

The Danger of ComparisonHave you ever caught yourself looking left and right, wondering how you measure up? Whether it’s in your career, parenting, relationships, sports teams, or even social media, comparison has a way of stealing our peace and exhausting our hearts. In this standalone message for Fight for Family Sunday, we will look to Ecclesiastes and how Solomon—the wisest man who ever lived—warned us that living by comparison is like chasing the wind. Through Scripture, personal stories, and everyday examples, we’ll discover why comparison is so dangerous, and how God offers us a better way to live. WATCH SERMON

Have you ever had your good intentions misunderstood? Maybe you tried to help a coworker, bless a friend, or offer grace to someone who hurt you—only to be met with suspicion, criticism, or rejection. Few things sting more than seeing kindness twisted into something it was never meant to be. In 2 Samuel 10, David experienced this very thing. An act of kindness which should have brought peace instead led to humiliation, conflict, and war. However, like David, Joab, and especially Jesus Himself, we’re called to keep doing good even when others misjudge us. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to live with courage, patience, and grace—even when kindness backfires.

Tyler Roland | 2 Samuel Ch. 9 | August 17

Imagine being an enemy of the king—powerless, wounded, and hiding for your life. Then one day, the king calls you into his presence… and instead of punishment, he pulls out a chair at his own table and says, “This is your seat now.” That’s the story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9, and it’s the story of every believer in Jesus. Join us this Sunday as we unpack how God’s kindness changes everything—and why our lives should overflow with the goodness we’ve received. WATCH SERMON

When David brought the ark of God to Jerusalem, he had a heartfelt desire to build a temple where the ark could dwell. It seemed natural to think that God would bless such a noble endeavor, but God had a different plan in mind. This situation can resonate with many of us; we often find ourselves longing for good things, praying earnestly and following the teachings of the Bible. But sometimes, despite our hopes, God says no. It can be incredibly disheartening when our prayers go unanswered, and it's easy for doubt and discouragement to creep in. In this message, we will gently explore how to process these moments of unanswered prayers and discover the light of hope that can lead us to a brighter future, even when life takes unexpected turns. The reality is that many of us neglect to do one key thing that would bring about a better tomorrow. We're in this together, and there’s a way forward that is better than we think.

David has united the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel into one nation. He is now king of a unified country. And he has an idea: to bring the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem signifying his desire to keep God at the center of the kingdom and the center of his life. Most people today would probably agree that they would like more of God’s presence at the center of their lives as well. But the steps we take towards making God the center matters. As we will see, we can do more harm than good if we go about it the wrong way. WATCH SERMON

Waiting on God is a challenging endeavor, and as time marches on, the whispers of doubt can grow louder. So, how do we navigate this waiting period and position ourselves to receive His promises sooner rather than later? In this message, we will dive deep into the unwavering faithfulness of God and uncover how you can ensure that every promise made to you becomes a reality.

When King Ishbosheth learns of the commander of his army’s death, it’s easy to understand why he feels overwhelmed with fear. It’s a natural reaction, especially in times of uncertainty. However, we must consider how paralyzing fear can be when we let it win. It can overshadow our lives; it steals our joy and hinders us from fully embracing our purpose. Many of us find ourselves battling fear, worry, or anxiety from time to time, and it’s important to recognize that we’re not alone in this struggle. The good news is that God offers us something greater to help us conquer the anxieties of life. If you’re facing fear or worry, take hope, this message is for you!

Joab, the commander of David’s army, finds himself caught in a whirlwind of grief and anger after the loss of his brother, leading him to make the tragic choice to take Abner’s life. This act of violence complicates the already fragile relationship between Judah and Israel, making reconciliation increasingly difficult. It’s important to recognize that when we harbor bitterness and grudges in our hearts, it can feel nearly impossible to foster peace. Yet, this is the very journey Jesus calls us to embark on. So, how do we navigate our own struggles for peace in order to extend that peace to others, even to those we once considered enemies? Join us this week as we delve into this profound and sensitive topic.
