King Saul sees God’s blessing on the young upstart David, and he is enraged. It’s a case study on how jealousy can turn to anger, bitterness and fear. Today, we’re just as susceptible. How do we deal with our desires in healthy, God-honoring ways?

The story of David and Goliath is one of the most widely known in the Bible, and maybe one of the most misapplied. A closer look shows us the importance of what happened in David’s life long before that battlefield encounter. What exactly is faithful fighting and how exactly is the armor of God involved?

God’s prophet, Samuel, anoints a future king. But David looks nothing like what anyone expected, and there’s a long and difficult road ahead before he takes the throne. Those plot twists can be instructive for us all when it comes to God’s calling.

The final chapter of John’s gospel provides vivid examples of Jesus’ love and restoration, no matter how badly we have messed up. This final week in our sermon series speaks to Jesus’ mercy, his care for you and his calling on your life—a calling that looks different from anyone else’s.

Jesus’ resurrection is the turning point for the whole world – past, present and future. The empty tomb changes everything, for everyone.
