Luke 3:1-20 - Advent & Christmas

The second Sunday of Advent traditionally brings the ministry of John the Baptist into focus. The strange figure of John—dressed in camel’s hair, eating locusts and honey, preaching repentance in the wilderness—seems out of place in our preparation for Christmas, but he is an “Advent” character: someone who helps the people prepare themselves for the Messiah’s coming. T

1 Samuel 18:1-30 - The Gospel According to Samuel

Having defeated the giant Goliath, David is now a celebrity in Israel and even though only David, Samuel, and his brothers know that he has been anointed the new king, already people are reacting to him as if he is royalty. This Sunday, we’ll consider three different reactions to David’s emerging royal identity and consider how each reaction reflects the way we engage King Jesu

1 Samuel 17 - The Gospel According to Samuel

"David and ___." Just say the phrase and almost anyone can finish it. Even folks who have never read the story itself think they know the basic meaning: the little guy vs. the giant, the underdog gets the victory, unexpected weapons can take down a much bigger enemy. Is that the real meaning of this famous story? Do we read 1 Samuel 17 so we can figure out how to defeat the Goliath

1 Samuel 16:14-23 - The Gospel According to Samuel

As we return to our study in 1 Samuel after a two week break, you might be surprised by what we find. The last time we saw David at the beginning of chapter 16, he had been sought out and anointed as the new king of Israel by the prophet Samuel. The Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him (some translations say, “gripped him”) from that day forward. We expect great things from this

Message from Rev. Bryce Waller on October 27, 2024

1 Samuel 16:1-13 - The Gospel According to Samuel

The anointing of David in 1 Samuel 16 is soaked in literary irony; Israel’s King was supposed to “hear” the word of the LORD and obey. Not only does Israel not hear the warning of their prophet, Samuel, against their desire for a king, making them like the other nations, but their first king suffers from selective hearing. In chapter 15, the use of “hearing” and Saul�

1 Samuel 15 - The Gospel According to Samuel

Even before the terrorist attacks on 9/11, Americans had become used to the “holy war” Islamic radicals were waging against the West. It comes as a surprise to some then when they read passages like 1 Samuel 15 where God commands his people to wage a holy war against Gentile nations, like the Amalekites. But our discomfort with the term or even the prospect that God commands it

1 Timothy 6: 6-10, 17-19 - Special Services

We could make an argument that gratitude is the fundamental quality of the Christian life. In gratitude, we live in response to God. In gratitude, we love God. In gratitude, we give our ourselves to God as he has given himself for us. When it comes to our giving habits in the church, we can miss the role of gratitude in our giving, and thus wrongly communicate our affection to
