The Art of Handling Influence

2 Samuel 5
Influence. We all have it in varying degrees. Some have influence at work. Others have it in the home. Still, other have it in their neighborhoods and with friends. There is a weight to influence - a weight that can crush us if we are not ready for it. In this passage of scripture we look at the way David handled influence in a way that brought life to himself and those around him.

Not Without a Fight

1 Samuel 30
Imagine coming back home after war and seeing your whole town destroyed, your women and children carried off into captivity, and everything you know and love gone. That's the situation David and his men find themselves in in 1 Samuel 30. Listen as we unpack the way that sin often steals life from us and how we engage in the battle to take back that which was stolen!

Opportunity Knocks

1 Samuel 24
David is the anointed King of Israel and he is on the run... hiding in a cave! Have you ever felt like you were waiting on God and it just didn't seem like God was coming through for you? In the passage this passage, David has the chance to take things into his own hands, but he doesn't. How do we become people who wait on God well? How do we know which opportunities he is inviting us to pursue?

Fear Factor

1 Samuel 21-22
Elder Jerry Suits explores the idea of sanctuary in the life of David.

Friend Request

1 Samuel 18-20 (selected passages)
We are designed and wired to need friendships. It's not only the way God designed us, but it's also the way God often confirms and carries his blessings to us! If there were no Jonathan, there would be no David! Listen as we explore this kingdom shaping friendship.

Vicarious Victory

1 Samuel 17:1-54
David and Goliath. Most of us have heard the story before. Many of us have read the story and found inspiration in the story of David. We picture ourselves as David and our fears/pains/disappointments as Goliath. While that's a nice idea, I'm not sure that's the point of the story! Check out this message as we explore the way that God might want to encourage us through the story of David and Goliath.

Making a Name

1 Samuel 15:1-28
This is the first message in our series on the Life of David. The story starts with Saul being anointed king of Israel, but he lives his life feeling like he has something to prove. It drives him to do some crazy things. In this passage we learn how capable we all are of going down the same road. We either make a name... or we receive a name!

An Invested Life

Acts 20:1-24
A life well lived, is a life well invested! The people who have had the biggest impact on us are people who have invested their lives into ours. The Apostle Paul was an investor. He invested in churches, in leaders, in the mission that God had called him to. Listen as we explore how to invest our lives well!

Intentional Impact

Acts 17:16-34
We all want to have an impact in life, but we are also all aware that having a positive impact will not happen by accident. The Apostle Paul was extremely intentional in the way he engaged culture. in this message we learn 4 things Paul did in order to have an eternal impact.

Zoom Out

Acts 16:16-40
Perspective matters. In fact, perspective has the ability to change everything. The best stories are lived by people who have an eternal perspective - and it shapes their whole life. In this message we look at the way the Apostle Paul, even when he is in jail, praises God and lives as a witness. His perspective brings him freedom. Has yours done the same?
