This week, we consider the long list of mighty warriors surrounding David to realize that he has never been on his own… and neither should we. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 2 Samuel 21 & 23

Absalom claims the kingship, and David runs away. What does life look like when there is no true king? What does life look like when the true king isn’t following God? Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 2 Samuel 15-20

David goes deeper and deeper into a hole of failed leadership all while God is chasing him for reconciliation. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 2 Samuel 13-14

Perhaps the most troubling moment in David’s time as king is this encounter with Bathsheba. It’s a raw example of a powerful man abusing his power. May we learn better lessons from his example. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 2 Samuel 11-12

The text says God gave David victory wherever he went… but what happens when David doesn’t go? Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 2 Samuel 8-10

2 Samuel 7 is the story of God’s covenant with David. Pastor Jeff takes the opportunity this week to show us 6 major covenants in the Bible and how this Davidic Covenant still applies today! Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 2 Samuel 7

As David begins to take control of the whole kingdom, he experiences great victory and is determined to give credit to God. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 2 Samuel 4-5

Special Note: The audio is different in this message because Pastor Jeff had been exposed to COVID the previous week and chose to wear a mask throughout our worship gathering.

This week, Pastor Jeff slows things down to dig into 2 Samuel 1. What will happen when David finally hears that his enemy Saul is dead? Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 2 Samuel 1

NOTE: We had some audio difficulty at the beginning of this message, so some of Matt’s introductory comments are missing from this podcast. Matt Bastian, one of our church elders, brings us his first ever message to encourage us all to keep our focus on the Kingdom of God. Speaker: Matt Bastian :: Passage: Luke […]

We close out 1 Samuel with the tragic end to King Saul, and we learn the lesson all over again that when you only care about preserving yourself, you end up losing everything. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 1 Samuel 28, 31

In this passage, a very wise woman has to respond to two very foolish men, but only one of them learns the lesson well. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 1 Samuel 25-26

How can you tell when something is really God’s will or your own? How can you tell when it’s your time to act or to patiently wait? Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 1 Samuel 23-24

Both David and Saul face the pressure of fearing for their lives, but they handle it far differently. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 1 Samuel 21-22

We use 1 Samuel 21:1-9 as a jumping off point to something important Jesus taught us. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 1 Samuel 21:1-9

If you experienced a work of God, would you receive it or reject it? Don’t be so sure. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 1 Samuel 18-20

In this message, we see the power of God at work in the story of David and Goliath. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 1 Samuel 17
