Radiant Church Weekend Sermon

David was a worshipper. Whether he was alone tending to the sheep and singing his prayer requests or writing songs of worship for Israel, David worshiped. We even sing some of his words today. But we can learn more from David the worshipper than his worship songs alone. David sought out the presence of God and worship became the posture of his heart. How can we begin to make God's presence a priority in our daily life?

In this unique event we celebrate with new believers and old alike as they make their next step to take part in Water Baptism!

As this 5 week message series begins, we get reintroduced to David the overlooked. From the time that Samuel visited the home of Jesse to anoint the next king of Israel, to the years that would follow where David sat on the throne, many people didn't see David for who he was. Just as God looks at the heart of a person and not the outward appearance, we too must seek and posses these often overlooked qualities of a person after God's own heart.

You cannot control when your life begins or ends but you can control the time in between. Guest Speaker, Shannon O'Dell, Lead Pastor of Brand New Church in Arkansas shares a challenging message that will stir your heart to focus in on the picture of the poor man’s lamb and how that relationship translates to our lives and the relationship with Christ that it speaks of.

What does it take to rust proof your marriage? Jimmy Evans, founder of Marriage Today, shares an on-point message that will challenge the way you look at the relationships in your life. In every arena, it is impossible to stay static. When it comes to your marriage or relationship with God, you have to continue to invest into the relationship to experience growth. Learn to meet the unspoken needs, speak the love language and communicate the unique value you see in those around you.

Pastor Bobby Bogard from Gateway Church in Texas shares for our First Wednesday service about what it looks like to see God fulfill the desires of your heart. God is trustworthy and wants to bless us, but when God speaks a word to you, it is always in season. Our responsibility then, is to test what we hear against the Word of God and test the season.

In 1 Samuel we read a story about Jonathan that is easy to overlook. As we take a look at this unsung hero's story we recognize a passionate leader who wouldn't settle for what was happening around him. As Jonathan confronts his enemy, his armour bearer readily follows him heart and soul! Let's put our heart and soul into what God is doing in this city through Radiant Church!

What does it mean to partner with the Holy Spirit in Prayer? In order to understand the Spirit's role in our prayer life, we have to understand why Jesus sent the Spirit to be with us. This message will take a look at key scriptures that give examples of others who have partnered with the Holy Spirit and help us understand how we can too.

How do we live as the light? This is the question that Pastor Jon explores as he reveals a different side of Matthew 5:14. Living as the light doesn’t happen on accident, you have to believe it and be intentional. Once you learn the way that God speaks to you, you’ll have a better road map of what he has called you to do. Will you accept the charge? Will you live as the light?

What do you believe about God? What do you believe about the Bible? We’ve heard that seeing is believing, but what if believing is seeing? In the scriptures, Jesus fed 5,000 people and turned water into wine. Today we are called to believe in faith in the amazing things the Lord can do, has done, and will do.
