In 1 Samuel 18 & 19, we see Saul’s jealousy of David reveal how insecurity and self-focus can distort our view of God’s purposes and lead us toward self-destruction. In contrast, David responds with humility, faithfulness, and trust in God’s timing, reminding us that true victory comes through surrender to God rather than self-promotion. Ultimately, the passage points us to Christ, who humbled Himself and was exalted, calling us to live lives shaped by repentance, discipleship, and trust in God’s redemptive plan.

In 1 Samuel 16 and 17, we are introduced to David, a man chosen not because of his appearance, talent, or status, but because of his heart. As we contrast David with Saul, we discover that God is far more concerned with what is happening beneath the surface than what others can see. Through David's patience, character, and dependence on God, we're challenged to examine our own lives and ask: If we popped the hood of your life, what would we find?

This week we walk through one of the most difficult and revealing moments in the life of Saul from 1 Samuel 15. Beneath the tension of the passage is a deeper question every disciple must wrestle with: will we trust God enough to obey Him fully? This message explores how partial obedience, self protection, and compromise slowly shape our hearts while also reminding us that Jesus is not trying to restrict our joy but lead us into true freedom and flourishing

This week in our series through 1 Samuel, we take a hard look at King Saul and discover how pressure reveals what’s really happening beneath the surface of our lives. Pride, fear, impatience, and self justification may be easy to hide for a season, but eventually what’s hidden comes to light. The good news of the gospel is that the very things we try to conceal are the things Jesus wants to heal.

This week in Kings and Kingdoms, we explore Israel’s demand for “a king like the nations” in 1 Samuel 8 and uncover the deeper issue beneath their request: comparison. As Israel looks around at the power and security of surrounding kingdoms, they begin to distrust the God who had faithfully led them all along. This message challenges us to confront the subtle ways comparison still shapes our lives today and points us back to Jesus, the true and better King.

This week we kicked off our new series through 1 Samuel called “Kings and Kingdoms” by looking at the life of Hannah. In the middle of grief, disappointment, and unanswered prayers, Hannah shows us what resilient faith looks like through perseverance, prayer, and praise. Her story reminds us that God opposes the proud, works even in the middle of evil and suffering, and is unfolding a greater plan through the coming King, Jesus.

In this message, we unpack how generosity shapes a church family's identity and reveals God's work in our hearts. Through 2 Corinthians 9, we see that giving is not just an action but a reflection of trust, healing, and transformation. As we live open-handedly, our lives become a visible expression of the gospel that leads others to glorify God.

This message unpacks the one truth that binds us together as God’s family—the resurrection of Jesus—and the one mission it empowers us to live out: making disciples of all nations. Because Jesus is alive and holds all authority, our faith is built not on our strength but on His finished work. Even in our doubts and everyday lives, we are invited to live on mission by faithfully following Him and helping others do the same.

When church becomes family, we move from sitting on the sidelines to stepping into the story. In 1 Corinthians 12, we see that every believer is filled with God’s Spirit, uniquely gifted, and deeply needed in the life of the church. This message is an invitation to stop consuming and start contributing to live with awareness, say yes to your role, and be part of what God is building through His people.

Loneliness and disconnection are shaping our culture, but Jesus offers something different a family. In this message, we look at what it means to belong to a local church and how God invites each of us to step into deeper community. This is a call to stop attending and start belonging.
