1. How To Be A Servant After God’s Own Heart
Contributed on Jan 10, 2026
Why was David a man after God's own heart... but Saul wasn't? And what can that tell me about how I can be a man after God's own heart?
I never thought about it before, but our culture talks a lot about our HEARTS. For example: If we want to have an intimate and personal talk with someone, we say that we want to have a “heart-to-heart”. If we’ve had a really good day, we might say that we are feeling “Lighthearted.” If we know ...read more

2. He Knows My Name
Contributed on Jan 16, 2026
Psalm 139 focuses on the fact that God knows you and I. But does He really know my name, and what difference would it make if He did?
There’s an old riddle that asks this question: “What is it that belongs to you, but other people use it more than you do?” THE ANSWER: Your name. Your name belongs to you, but you rarely use it except to tell others who you are. We like it when other people say our names, because our ...read more

3. Five Smooth Stones
Contributed on Jan 23, 2026
Psalm 27 is a Psalm David wrote that reflected the kind of man that he was and the kind of God that he served. What can we learn from this Psalm about being a man or woman who serves our God?
David wrote the 27th Psalm - and it’s a Psalm about how to face conflicts in life. It’s a Psalm about relying on God. A Psalm of HOPE. A Psalm of FAITH. And when I read this Psalm, it can kind of reminded ME of David facing Goliath. The psalm reflected David’s mindset when he went out to face the ...read more

4. Hope Is Just A Prayer Away
Contributed on Jan 30, 2026
What do you do when life cave's in around you and your life becomes dark and depressing. What David did was to pray to God. What are the secrets of David's prayer that can help us when our lives fall apart?
In Kentucky, there’s a cave called “Mammoth Cave”, and on one of their tours, the guide stopped and turned to the crowd. He said: “Do you want to see what a real cave looks like?” And of course, everyone said yes. And, without another word - he SHUT OFF ALL THE LIGHTS. Now, that’s what a REAL ...read more

5. What Is Your God Story?
Contributed on Feb 6, 2026
Following the lead of Psalm 18, this sermon tells 3 "God-stories" where God is glorified (rather than the teller of the stories receiving glory). Do you have a God-Story?
There’s a powerful song by “The Old Paths Quartet” Called “Who Better Than Me” (Play from 0.01 thru 0.59 mark of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQEeUbB6H_A) I really like that song because (like Psalm 18) that song declares “You’ve heard sermons telling what the Lord can do. Read the stories ...read more

6. God’s Love For A Sinful Man
Contributed on Feb 12, 2026
David commited an evil sin. He deserved to die. But why did God forgive him of his sins... and why would He forgive us of our sins?
The first verse of Psalm 51 says this: “A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.” Psalms 51:1 David had ...read more
