"You Will Receive Power When the Holy Spirit Has Come Upon You"

Acts 1:8

Rev. Doug McNutt

Jesus does not expect any missionary, any preacher, any officer, any member to be an effective witness for Him UNLESS you have received that power from the infilling of the Holy Spirit. We cannot do anything without the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, just like Jesus said in John 15:5 “Apart from me, you can do nothing.” Let’s pray and ask once again for that power to come down from above in our lives!

Rev. Dr. Stephen Estock

"Man on the Run"

1 Samuel 21:1-15

Rev. Charlie Phillips

No one who’s given a serious read of the Bible can make the claim that God’s people have it easy—that leaders like David had a trouble-free life. As any talented writer knows, drama makes for good story. It also reveals truths about our Creator. Join us this Sunday as we learn of God’s grace for His people on the run!

"Clinging to the Covenant"

1 Samuel 20:1-42

Rev. Charlie Phillips

David has just escaped attack after attack on his life in chapter 19, ending with his seeking asylum in Ramah with Samuel. It’s clear that Saul will do anything to take David out. So, David flees once again. But where? And why? Come on Sunday ready to learn how a man of God’s own heart responds to fear.

"War of the Wills"

1 Samuel 19:1-24

Rev. Charlie Phillips

The world is at war all around us—Russia vs Ukraine…Israel vs Palestine…Trump vs Biden…Democrats vs Republicans. But these are not simply wars between nations or political parties. All wars between people groups or each other begin with man’s war against God. The war began when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, and it continues to ripple out devastatingly today. Truth be told, we are living in a real-life war of the wills—of man desperately trying to will his way over God. Join us this Sunday as we encounter a desperate Saul attempting to will his way over God and David.

"Everybody Loves David"

1 Samuel 18:1-30

Rev. Charlie Phillips

Just when things are going so well for David—he’s established himself as a servant of the king, he’s defeated Goliath, and he’s loved by everyone—everything seemingly unravels as Saul “eyes” him with the intent of destroying him. Come Sunday expecting the Spirit to move among us as we dig into 1 Samuel 18.

"The Lord Be With You"

1 Samuel 17:1-37

Rev. Charlie Phillips

This Sunday we come to perhaps the most well-known and beloved story in the entire Bible. Given that we know it so well, it’s easy to assume that we’ve wrung all the truth and joy from it. However, there’s always so much more than meets the eye. Join us for worship as we seek the glory of Christ in the story of David and Goliath.

"Sunrise, Sunset: A New King on the Block"

1 Samuel 16:1-23

Rev. Charlie Phillips

We don’t see things the way God sees them. By definition the finite doesn’t have the view of the infinite. Through Christ we are able to see things from a renewed perspective; He changes the way we view the world, our situation, others, and even ourselves. Come worship with us on Sunday as we seek to see the way He sees and glorify Him.

"Obedience > Sacrifice"

1 Samuel 14:47-15:1-35

Rev Charlie Phillips

One of my favorite times of the year is the very beginning. There’s all this energy swirling around our goals and vision for life. Everyone stops for a moment and considers how their present steps are affecting their future lives and aspirations. I love it! I would in fact argue that we’re called to do such reassessments throughout our lives, and not just because of our cultural drift (which we talked about this past Sunday), but because we’re called to be stewards of the gifts, talents, and resources God has given us. Join us this Sunday as we talk about living on vision as a church community.

"Only Followers Truly Lead"

Deuteronomy 17:14-20

Rev. Charlie Phillips

John Piper once said, “Servanthood does not nullify leadership: it defines it. Jesus does not cease to be the Lion of Judah when He becomes the lamblike servant of the church.” Starting this Sunday, you’ll have the opportunity to nominate candidates for offices of elder and deacon. As we prepare to select men for office, we need to prepare our hearts and wrap them around God’s design for biblical leadership. Our definitions and desires for leadership must come from Him. Join us this Sunday as we consider God’s standards for a king.

"God For Us"

Titus 3:4-7

Rev Charlie Phillips

Join us this Christmas Eve as we conclude our Advent series “God With Us”. In the morning we’ll be studying the ways in which God is “for” us. The Apostle Paul said, “If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” In the evening, after hearing and singing of God’s incredible love we’ll contemplate God being “above” us via the ascension of Christ at the end of His glorious Incarnation season. See you soon!

God With Us

Matthew 1:18-25

Rev Alan Foster

One of the beauties of Christmas is the truth that God has come in the flesh. The Biblical term for this is Immanuel. It means God with us. Join us this Sunday as we explore the implications of the fact that at Christmas Jesus came to be God with us.

"God Among Us"

Colossians 1:18-20

Rev. Charlie Phillips

The first verse of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” tells the story of the Incarnation so well - “O come O come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel, shall come to thee, O Israel”. Can you feel the desperation? Namely, that the transcendent God of the universe MUST come near. All of life would feel like an extreme exile without His presence, and yet the fullness of God was pleased to dwell in the Son and the Son was was pleased to dwell among us for a season…a season of hope and redemption. Join us this Sunday as we gather to call on Him together.

"God Before Us"

Colossians 1:15-20

Rev. Charlie Phillips

Frederick Buechner once said, “In the silence of a midwinter dusk, there is a sound so faint that for all you can tell it may be only the sound of the silence itself. You hold your breath to listen. You are aware of the beating of your heart. The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of that moment.” Join us this Sunday we remember and anticipate the incredible grace of our Savior together.

A Religiously Worldly Worldview

1 Samuel 14:24-46

Rev Charlie Phillips

Just when things seemed to be going so well for the Israelites with the Philistines being routed mightily Saul once again shows his colors. Once again the contrast between Saul and Jonathan couldn’t be any greater-their perspective of God leading to a prescription for living. Join us as we gather one last Sunday before Advent to learn about the effects our view of God has on the way we live.

In this passage we’ll encounter the king’s son, Jonathan, as he displays a daring faith for the Lord. See you on Sunday!

"The End of the Line"

1 Samuel 13:1-23

Rev. Charlie Phillips

At just the beginning of the monarchy in Israel things hit an impasse when Israel’s first king made a sacrifice-a burnt offering to seek the favor of the Lord. How could a sacrifice to God cause an impasse? Why was Saul punished for doing what most would deem a good thing? Find out why this coming Sunday as we observe the sunset of Saul’s line as king.

"Judge, Jury, Grace"

1 Samuel 12:1-25

Rev. Barr Overcast

In our text this week, Samuel is stepping into his role as judge one last time, complete with a black robe, a white wig, and a gavel (okay probably not that last bit). Samuel is God's representative, bringing the case against Israel. What will the verdict be? What will the result of the trial be? Join us this Sunday as we see God's courtroom grace on display.
