Who Claims Our Devotion? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 18, 2020

Our devotion is not to a book, not even to a church building, and not even to our fellow parishioners. We derive our identity as Catholics from our devotion to the lord of the Sabbath, the lord of our lives, Our Lord, Jesus the Christ.

Feast of St. Agnes 2020 Tuesday of 2nd week in Course For generations after the Hebrews settled in the Holy Land, they acknowledged only God, the Lord, as their leader. But in the time of the prophet-priest Samuel, these tribes began to worry him about a king. The whole point of the covenant God ...read more

Favor Follows Faithfulness Series

Contributed by Cameron Conway on Feb 19, 2019

Throughout the scriptures we see pictures of how the faithful few took God’s words seriously and lived accordingly. They lived out their beliefs and in turn god brought about the manifestation of the things which were promised to them.

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Sep 15, 2014

We will see this morning how David overcame the Giant of Goliath. In the same way the he did, you and I can also overcome the many giants in our lives.

Who Do You Think You Are, Goliath? (1 Samuel 17: 1-54)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 22, 2024

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

The Royal Lineage Of The Lord Jesus (Matthew 1:1-18)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 3, 2024

We tend to skip the list of names in the first verses of Matthew's gospel, but each name is there for a reason, and it is to show the royal line of the Lord Jesus Christ and HIs right to the throne of David as King and Messiah.

Matthew wastes no time in establishing his case to prove that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah and the heir to David's throne as the true king of Israel. His opening statement reads as follows: "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of ...read more

Rape & Murder (2 Samuel 13)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 10, 2025

How did lust lead to worse sins? Let's look at 2 Samuel 13.

Can our sins as parents repeat through generations? Can one sin multiply? How did a rape bring murder and alienation? Should we be careful who we listen to? Let’s look at 2 Samuel 13. Did David’s son Amnon begin to lust after his half sister Tamar? Sometime after this, David’s son Amnon fell in ...read more

Manos Que Derraman Sangre Inocente

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020

La imagen de Dios se degrada y su ira incita con justicia cada vez que una persona (sangre inocente) es injustamente destruida. Con 125.000 abortos diarios en todo el mundo (OMS), ¿qué sangre podría ser más inocente que la sangre de un feto?

MANOS QUE DERRAMAN SANGRE INOCENTE "...no sea que se derrame sangre inocente en medio de tu tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da en herencia, y así la culpa del derramamiento de sangre sea sobre ti" (Deuteronomio 19:10) Una de las cosas más malvadas que existen es ...read more

Overcoming Ziklag Moments

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 8, 2025

Many of us have gone through very difficult times when it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. This message looks at how David handled one of the most difficult times in his life.

Would you please turn with me to First Samuel 30. I can still remember this like it was yesterday. It was Saturday morning, May 10, 1986. I was still in bed when I got a call from my uncle, Anthony, and he said two words, after which I didn't hear anything else. He said, “Dot’s gone.” Dot, ...read more

Faithful And Unfaithful Servants (Isaiah 22:15-25; Revelation 3:7-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 22, 2025

Focus is on the "key of David" as being about access to David's house/kingdom. Jesus has this key. Also, a focus on how Rev. uses OT in a not-straightforward way. Prophecy-fulfillment is not a good core model to use.

Last week, we took a one week rabbit trail into the first part of Isaiah 22. Today, we'll begin by finishing off Isaiah 22, reading the second oracle in that chapter. I will then more or less smoothly transition back to Revelation, to the letter addressed to the church in Philadelphia. So ...read more

A Resting Place For The Ark Of God

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 7, 2015

True prayer is based in the covenant and promises of God, which He has given us in Christ Jesus.

A RESTING PLACE FOR THE ARK OF GOD. Psalm 132. King David, ‘the man after God’s own heart’ (Acts 13:22), wanted to bring the ark-of-the-covenant up to Jerusalem. ‘We consulted it not in the days of Saul,’ he reasonably reasoned (1 Chronicles 13:3). However, even our best intentions fall short ...read more

Psalm 17 "My Life Is An Open Book" Series

Contributed by Larry Brincefield on Aug 21, 2003

David’s life is an open book before God. He hides nothing. We sometimes try to hide things from God. We need to try to live our lives as an "open book" before God.

August 17, 2003 Title: Psalm 17 My Life Is An Open Book Text: Psalm 17:1-15 Introduction Things you should never say once without thinking twice: - It’s no trouble at all. - I love dogs. - We have plenty of room. - Call me any time. - Is there anything I can do? - My husband is a ...read more

Giant Killing For Beginners

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Mar 23, 2009

Living victoriously has much in common with David’s victory over Goliath. The shepherd didn’t act in faith that hadn’t already been tested; he acted according to his consistent experience with God.

When I was young, I was a huge fan of the Walt Disney version of Zorro. I loved the idea of a person who would dress up in a costume, ride a beautiful horse, and cross swords triumphantly with the forces of injustice and oppression—though I would have defined those forces merely as “the bad guys” ...read more
