In this sermon, Pastor Dave explores Mary’s extravagant act of generosity toward Jesus and what it reveals about a community shaped by the gospel. Through the contrast between Mary and Judas, we see that true generosity gives freely without expecting anything in return and flows from recognizing the generosity we have first received from God. As a community on mission, we are called to make…
In this sermon, Pastor Steven explores the story of David, Nabal, and Abigail, where a moment of anger nearly leads David down a path of vengeance and bloodshed. Through Abigail’s courage and wisdom, God reminds David of the kind of king he is called to be—one who lays down the sword, entrusts justice to the Lord, and responds to evil with faith rather than vengeance. Her intervention ultimately…
In this sermon, Pastor Steven follows David through the wilderness as his trust in God is tested by fear, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of Saul. When David is finally given the opportunity to end his suffering by taking Saul’s life, he instead chooses obedience and entrusts himself to God. Through David’s example, this message explores what it means to trust God when He seems…
In this sermon, Pastor Steven follows David into exile as he flees from Saul, finding himself hungry, hunted, and dependent on God's provision. Yet it is in this season of weakness that a surprising kingdom begins to form, as the distressed, the indebted, and the bitter gather around God's anointed king. Through David's humiliation and the people he welcomes, this message points us to Jesus…
In this sermon, Pastor Steven follows the growing divide between Saul and David as jealousy and fear turn Saul against the man God has chosen to be king. While Saul rejects David and seeks his destruction, Jonathan responds with love, loyalty, and sacrifice—even surrendering his own claim to the throne. Their contrasting responses point us toward Jesus, the true King who was rejected by His own…
In this sermon, Pastor Steven explores the familiar story of David and Goliath through the lens of faith and courage. While Saul and Goliath place their confidence in human strength, David faces the giant with a deeper confidence in the power and faithfulness of God. More than an underdog story, this passage reveals the kind of King David would become and points us to Jesus Christ, the greater…
In this sermon, Pastor Steven introduces David, the king chosen not by the people but by God Himself. While Saul’s reign is marked by outward appearance and fading strength, David is selected because God sees what man cannot see—the heart. From the fields of Bethlehem to the courts of Saul, David emerges as a shepherd, musician, and servant through whom God begins preparing His people for a…
Join us this Sunday as Pastor Dave talks through John 8 and how a community on mission loves mercy. Loves it.
In this sermon, Pastor Steven examines Saul’s final failure as king in 1 Samuel 15 and the obedience that God desires from His people. Though Saul achieves military victory, his partial obedience reveals a deeper problem: a heart more concerned with appearances, personal judgment, and the approval of others than with trusting and obeying God’s word. As Samuel declares that “to obey is better than…
In this sermon, Pastor Steven contrasts the fear-driven leadership of Saul with the courageous faith of Jonathan during Israel’s conflict with the Philistines. As Saul struggles to trust God when circumstances turn against him, Jonathan moves forward in confidence, believing that “nothing can hinder the Lord from saving by many or by few.” Through their stories, we see the difference between…
