David sinned greatly in his adulterous relationship with Bathsheba and even more by murdering her husband Uriah to cover it up. Pastor John Tuttle uses this blot on David’s life and his subsequent confession and restoration as a pattern for all of us when we have sinned – acknowledge our sin before God, seek restoration, and tell the story of God’s goodness to us. .

Worship was a way of life for David. He invested wholeheartedly in his pursuit of God. He worshipped when he was joyful and also after disappointment and loss. A sermon by Pastor John Tuttle of Waters Edge Church. Visit us on the web at www.mqtchurch.com

Many instances of David’s generosity are enumerated in this message, especially from 2 Samuel 24 and I Chronicles 21-22, regarding David’s disobedience to God in counting the number of his warriors and the ensuing consequences. David admitted his sin and wanted the consequences to affect him and not others as much as was possible. Then when he found the place to build the temple, he didn’t want it to be given to him as a gift, he wanted to pay a good price to Oman for it. And when God told him he couldn’t be the one to build the temple, he accepted that and went on to spend a fortune amassing the materials for his son to build it.

“David-No Shortcuts” continues with last week’s theme on “David’s Heart.” In this message, Pastor John Tuttle uses examples from David’s life to show that his faith in God remained strong, even when circumstances were difficult. He spared Saul’s life in 1 Samuel 24 when Saul insisted on pursuing David to kill him. David did not use his advantage to take the matter into his own hands and kill Saul, but rather trusted God to take care of Saul. What do we do with shortcuts that present themselves, but would not be honorable in our lives?

David’s Heart of courage and faith that God would help him is highlighted in this message. David was bold to fight the giant Goliath because Goliath was challenging God and David trusted God would help him . His courage opened the door for him to see God’s handiwork. We have the same opportunity to ask God how to go forward in Him in our challenging circumstances. Sermon given by Pastor John Tuttle at Water’s Edge Church. Visit us on the web at www.mqtchurch.com

The Importance of Love is examined by Pastor John Tuttle using I Corinthians 13. Love is more important than being known by your gifts. Love is the dominant feature of God’s character. We, in committing to embrace God’s values, seek to become loving people. As valuable as spiritual gifts are to the body of Christ, love superseded them all. Sermon given at Water’s Edge Church.
