"Facing the Enemy"

1 Samuel 11:1-15

Rev. Charlie Phillips

Of the reformers, Martin Luther had a particularly keen perception of spiritual warfare. Famously known for throwing an ink well at Satan and frequently preaching at him, Luther understood the reality of being attacked. He once said, “The devil can’t have any other intention than to destroy us because he’s the foe of Christ. Satan is opposed to the church. The best thing we can do, therefore, is to put our fists together and pray”. During this Reformation Sunday we’ll encounter Israel at war with her enemies and dig deeper into our own warfare. See you soon!

"Five Blind Mice and One Holy God"

1 Samuel 6:1-7:2

Rev. Charlie Phillips

RC Sproul taught that when we begin to understand the character of God we begin to understand His holiness. And when we begin to understand His holiness we begin to understand our sin and hopelessness. And when we begin to understand the depth of our sin we cling to God like no other! Unfortunately, the holiness of God has often taken a backseat in Christianity. Thankfully God has given us passages like 1 Samuel 6! Join us this week as the ark finally lands back in good hands!

"Our God is Greater"

1 Samuel 5:1-12

Rev. Charlie Phillips

How do you process life when the chips are down—and not just personally, but culturally? Is God still out there? Is He mighty enough to defeat His and our enemies? Will they get away with their sin in the end? This Sunday we’ll be diving into chapter 5 and studying the arrogant Philistines as they attempt to put God in His place. See you soon!

"God Speaks"

1 Samuel 3:1-4a

Rev. Charlie Phillips

What would life be like if you didn’t have God’s Word? We sometimes take the Bible for granted because there are millions of copies in hundreds of different languages. Not only that but there are numerous apps, thousands of websites, and a plethora of churches in our country all espousing and promoting God’s Word. But what if all of this went away? What would our lives be like? That’s the context for Israel when Samuel was born. But because of God’s faithfulness and grace it wouldn’t continue that way. Join us this week as we encounter God reviving His Word by establishing Israel’s first prophet.
