David was experiencing a time of trial and testing in his life, because God was wanting to produce some steadfastness in the one He chose to be the next king of his people, the Israelites. One by one, the crutches were removed. Pastor Scott shares how this can be a good thing.
Jealousy can have devastating effects on relationships--this is lived out by Saul and his relationship with David.
David is the small shepherd-boy hero of the account of David and Goliath, right? Pastor Scott takes us through what happened, and who the ACTUAL hero is.
God gave us two special ways to celebrate our salvation, regularly. These are called 'ordinances'. Pastor Scott taught us what these are, what these are not, and then we got to participate in them!
Was it David's physique that got him chosen to be the king of Israel? Certainly not, though he had serious strength and skills in protecting sheep. God chose him because of his heart - and we ought to remember this when we want to be used by God!
Pastor Scott set the stage for our new series on David. We were reminded that even though there were 66 chapters of the Bible devoted to the life of David - the real Star of his life, is God! The real Star is always God.
Wally Rose brought us a sermon on waiting on the Lord. I don't think any of us are particularly skilled in this area--especially in the fast-paced world that we live in!
We enjoyed having Mark and Sophia Self with us this week, and also our Skype interview with the Compton family. We also got to worship God together, and watch the Day Camp video!
Pastor Scott shares with us the only offensive weapon that we have - the Sword of the Spirit, the Bible. But it's enough! Father's Day is the perfect day to talk about how the Word of God is our offensive weapon against the crazy things happening in our world.
The helmet of salvation is the same as the shoes of the gospel, right? Pastor Scott taught us all about the helmet of salvation - and it's not all about your profession of faith, either!
