What To Do When We Are Afraid Pt. 1 Series

Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Oct 17, 2024

Psalm 27 teaches us that when fear overwhelms, like David, we should turn to the Lord as our light and salvation, trusting Him as our stronghold even in the darkest times. By focusing on God’s strength rather than our circumstances, we can overcome fear with faith.

What to Do When We Are Afraid! Psalm 27 Introduction: Psalm 27 = is both uplifting and powerful – speaks to the struggles of the heart. David = the human penman… on the see/saw of life… up one moment and down the next… experiencing that tug of war of the heart… as he vacillates between fear ...read more

Simple Steps For An Extraordinary New Year

Contributed by John Dobbs on Jan 6, 2023

Psalm 22 begins as a lament - a desperate plea to God from someone who knows how much he needs God. The terms are clear - without God there is no hope. With God there is always hope, and David gives us a map here, finding hope when challenges are all around us

In Pursuit Of Portion

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Mar 23, 2024

Our life's pursuits ultimately define us. King David was a man after God's own heart. King Solomon ultimately pursued other things. Being in pursuit of God as your portion will lead you into the fullness of His goodness today as well as for an eternity.

King David said, “??O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; ??You maintain my lot.” Psalm 16:5 The word for portion in Hebrew is manâ (Strong’s H4490), and it is translated as part or portion. It’s used 14 times. In most of these instances, it refers to the portion of an ...read more

The Battle Is The Lords

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jun 4, 2023

David was anointed by Samuel as a boy but did not ascend the throne for another 25 years. He faced battles from his family, battles from his enemies, and battles from within. From each challenge he faced we learn that when the Battle is the LORD’s the victory is ours.

1 Samuel 17:44-51 NKJV “The Battle is the LORD’s” June 4, 2023 Up to this point in history, God had ruled the nation, raising up judges as they were needed. This was how things operated all the way from the time of Moses through the days of the Prophet, Priest, and Judge Samuel. God warned them ...read more

Shall Follow Me Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 28, 2022

Psalm 23:6, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.’ The confession of David could be our desire. We would like to have these two divine blessings in our life. But we struggle to have them.

Psalm 23:6 - “Shall follow me” Happy New month to all of you. The Lord is good and his love never ends. While I was praying for this new month’s service, these words were brought to my mind by the Holy Spirit from Psalm 23:6, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: ...read more

Witchcraft Series

Saul continues to disobey God, this time by resorting to witchcraft. But God never abandons his people. He has a king prepared who’s a man after his own heart, who’ll restore the fortunes of Israel: David, the shepherd boy, who’s become a great warrior th

What we find as we read through the books of 1&2 Samuel is a mix of battle narratives and character studies.

Waiting Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 29, 2012

The thing we have the least patience with is waiting. When we are facing a difficulty we want instant results. When God doesn't operate on our table we get frustrated. David got frustrated too but how he handles it can help us have patience too.

Psalm 13 teaches that waiting is really hard. There is nothing worse than being in a tough space and pleading with God and nothing happens! We saw this in Psalm 10 as well when David cried: “Why do you stand so far away?” 1 David feels like God must have forgotten him in his trial. ...read more

Pardon Me, But Your Frame Is Showing

Contributed by James May on Mar 4, 2013

David said in Psalms 103:14 that God knows our frame, that we are created from the dust of the earth that is corrupted by sin. How often does that frame show as we go about our daily lives? So many times I just want to stop someone in their tracks when
