    Ark, Anger, And Acceptance

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 20, 2010
     | 5,868 views

    We who are successful want instant gratification, but must know that God’s timing may be different, and that it is important to do something that enables others to succeed. In prayer we learn that we are accepted and so our efforts have meaning.

    Success brings with it its own set of problems. If you get used to being successful, you soon expect it, and then if it eludes you, that can be very hard to take. I know that I am speaking this morning to reasonably successful people, by and large. Most of you, when you face a challenge, are able ...read more

    We are all followers of something or someone, but who/what is really worthy of following, that would never go out of style but goes on forever?

    Who do we follow? 2 Sam 7:12-16; Mt 21:1-5 (Zech 9:9) Big Idea: We follow a King who reigns forever I am a follower. I follow sports teams. It is such a guy thing.

     | 10,156 views

    This is the fourth week of our "Prison Break" sermon series focused on the central character of King David. This sermon encourages to take God out of the box we keep him in.

    Prison Break 4 – It’s Time to Break God Out 1. God’s Prison Breaks found in the Bible Acts 12:5-11 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. 6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two ...read more

    Who's In Control?

    Contributed by Rhonda Feurtado on Jul 29, 2003

    The text concerns David’s desire to build a temple "house" for God, and God’s response that God will build David’s house. We often try to control God, but God is in control, not us.

    Who’s in control? David has come a long way from being a shepherd boy in Bethlehem and the youngest of 8 sons to being the king of Israel, who reunited the northern and southern Kingdoms, established the capital at Jerusalem, and moved the ark of the covenant into the city. He ...read more

    A Heart To Build - A Man After God's Own Heart Series

    based on 67 ratings
     | 23,679 views

    God told David He didn’t want him building a Temple for Him. It’s possible to build a building God doesn’t want. Do you know what makes the difference between what He wants and what He doesn’t?

    OPEN: According to a story in R.Digest from several years ago, a great emperor named Shah Jahan once built an absolutely beautiful structure in memory of his wife of 19 years who died while bearing their 14th child. When she died, Shah Jahan left his wife’s deathbed and went straight to his ...read more

    David is a man after God’s own heart for sure. Just look at how he responds after hearing God say "no" to his plan to build the temple.

    Introduction: A. I spent some time looking for a good joke to begin today’s sermon, but I came up empty. 1. When I got to thinking about it, I realized that today’s subject is not very funny. 2. None of us like to hear the answer “NO.” That’s true of children, teenagers and adults. B. I ...read more

    2 Samuel 7:1-14a: Now when the king was settled in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him, 2 the king said to the prophet Nathan, “See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God stays in a tent.” 3 Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that you have ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 35,760 views

    In this chapter Nathan presents two different oracles from God to David, tied together by different understandings of the word "house." David wants to build a house for God; God instead intends to build David's house.

    2 SAMUEL 7: 1-17 [The Life of David] WHEN GOD SAYS NO TO OUR DREAMS [Luke 22:14-20] In this chapter Nathan presents two different oracles from God to David, tied together by different understandings of the word "house."

    Broken Dreams Restored Series

    based on 8 ratings
     | 22,415 views

    The way David responded to God's correction and the new Word from the Lord is a good example to follow for any Christian. For David could then be over whelmed by a sense of God's grace & goodness.

    2 SAMUEL 7: 18-29 [The Life of David] BROKEN DREAMS RESTORED [Psalm 73:25-28] While David's proposal has been turned aside, God's acceptance of David's desire is not denied. God takes the desire of David's heart to build Yahweh's house and sovereignly declares that He will build an ...read more

    Seeing The Plan And Hearing The Word

    Like Augustine, we must integrate into our lives the need to see God's vision and to hear God's call.

    Thursday of 3rd Week in Course 2014 Lumen Fidei The vision of God is always broader and deeper than any plan of a human. King David was in a really good mind when he wrote this prayer of thanksgiving to God. Remember that Saul, his predecessor, had wanted a dynasty, but he turned against ...read more

    This Christmas season will you be thinking about the wonder of the immortal God taking on mortal flesh; the omnipotent God appearing in the form of a helpless vulnerable baby; the only begotten Son of God coming as one of us to take on himself the punish

    We hear the Christmas story every year. The same events; the same characters; the same location. We sing Christmas carols that retell the story over and over again.
