    I want to take you back in time to a scene of dread and despair. The Israelites and the Philistines are facing off in the Valley of Elah. For forty days, a giant named Goliath has been walking out, challenging the Israelites to a one-on-one battle.

    Introduction I want to take you back in time to a scene of dread and despair. The Israelites and the Philistines are facing off in the Valley of Elah.

    Girded Saints

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 122 views

    Girding precedes armor; readiness begins with being held together so faithfulness can endure pressure without collapse.

    There is a kind of readiness that feels loud. It announces itself. It comes with urgency, energy, momentum. People speak faster. Plans multiply. Language sharpens. For a long time, many of us assumed that kind of readiness was faithfulness. If someone was energized, they must be ready. If ...read more

    This series on the Hand of God is based on Acts 11:21. In this sermon we look at the life of David to see how and why the hand of the Lord was so powerfully manifested in his life.

    Hand of God Sermon #1 Chosen by God Acts 11:21: “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”(KJV) We know that the Lord wills to save everyone and if the hand of the Lord will be with us, then through us many will come to the saving knowledge of ...read more

    The choice of David to be the next king of Israel shows His Sovereignty in action, but also shows that He is a God of Surprises.

    "NOW the Lord said to Samuel, 'How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.' And Samuel said, 'How can I go? If ...read more

    One of the unfortunate realities about living in this world is the existence of bullies who intimidate and threaten others. The Bible describes one such bully named Goliath. His threats against Israel and God ceased when he encountered David and one smooth stone.

    Bullies have existed in this fallen world ever since Cain killed Abel at the beginning of civilization (Genesis 4:8). However, as the days get darker spiritually and the love of people grows cold (Matthew 24:12; Romans 1:18-32), the problem of bullying is only going to grow like a cancer across ...read more

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 27, 2024

     | 1,409 views

    This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

    Intro A major theme in Romans 4 is faith. Paul is aggressively contending for justification by faith alone. The issue we are currently addressing is the kind of faith Paul has in mind when he uses the word. We know from James 2 that some forms of faith are dead and worthless. We know from Jesus’s ...read more

    The story of David and Goliath is well-known. Little David serves as Israel's champion and defeats Goliath with the help of the Lord.

    There are so many who are gripped with all sorts of fears, and only the Lord Jesus can help us overcome these fears. Anyone who puts their faith in Jesus will conquer every fear and live a victorious life.

    We read in Luke 21:26, “men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.” (YLT) The disciples of Jesus enquired of Him as to what would be the signs that the end of days was close at hand.
