Sermon Archives

In this message, we launch a new series in our study of the book of I Samuel, entitled, “The Ark of the Covenant.” As a nation, Israel has taken God for granted – and now He begins to move to discipline them, but His discipline, then and now, is intended to lead them to repentance and revival.

In this message, we conclude our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call.” Samuel models a truism about God’s Word that still resonates today – God only gives a message in order for it to be shared. What kind of stewards are we of God’s truth?

In this message, as we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” we finally come to a familiar text – Samuel’s childhood summons to ministry by God. But his call is best understood in light of God’s silence to the rest of Israel – why would God speak when He is ignored?

In this message, as we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” we encounter the first prophet in several generations in Israel – and he arrives to issue God’s message of judgment on Israel’s wicked priests.

In this message, as we continue our sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” we get a lesson in parenting as we consider the wickedness of Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phineas, and the servanthood of little Samuel. We’re also reminded that merely growing up “around church” is no guarantee of spiritual success.

In this message, we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” and we study what is often called, “Hannah’s Song.” It’s incredibly personal and rich theologically, of course, but it is also pivotal in the book of I Samuel and the plan of God for all nations.

In this message, we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” and we move into the birth narrative of Samuel. Throughout Scripture, the birth of a child often marks a pivotal point in a people’s history – certainly reminding us, if just on a universal level, that children are a blessing. But, for Israel, Samuel’s birth was much, much more.

In this message, we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” and we study the first prayer from a woman quoted in God’s Word. We vividly see her heartbreak, her desire, and her incredible faith, so that we should be better equipped to invite God into our own sorrows.

In this message, we continue our nine-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “Samuel’s Call,” and we draw closer to the suffering and heartache of Hannah. Her life shows us a vivid picture that God is alive and well even in the worst of our brokenness.
