In this sermon, Paul once again thanks the Lord in prayer for the Thessalonians. If we receive the Word of God in faith and choose to suffer with God’s people, then we can look forward to the hope and joy of reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

In this sermon, we further examine Paul’s heart in ministry. We are called to be spiritual fathers and mothers to our disciples. We must lay down our lives loving those we lead in ministry.

In this sermon, Paul expresses his motherly care for the Believers at Thessalonica. Are we sacrificially loving our disciples with the same gentleness and grace?

In this sermon, we begin our exposition of 1 Thessalonians. We are introduced to Paul’s missionary team and his pattern of ministry. We are called to win souls, make disciples, then equip and send proven leaders to do the same!

In this sermon, we examine the doctrine of the Rapture - Christ’s return for his Church. The Bible teaches a clear prophetic timeline that distinguishes the Rapture from Christ’s Second Advent to execute judgment on the World. The Church is saved from wrath, patiently serving the Lord, and looking forward to the hope of the Rapture - not preparing for Great Tribulation!

In this sermon, we further examine the powerful testimony of the disciples at Thessalonica. In the midst of persecution, the Thessalonians were faithful ministers of the Word of God through the power of the Holy Ghost.

In this sermon, Paul makes mention of the church’s “election of God” (1 Th. 1:4). Many have twisted this doctrine to teach that God has simply chosen to send some people to heaven and some to hell. By comparing scripture with scripture, the Bible clearly teaches that the church’s election is according to God’s foreknowledge that we would receive Christ willingly, by grace through faith.

In this sermon, Paul is praying and thanking God for the Thessalonians’ “work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Th. 1:3).

In this sermon, we begin our exposition of 1 Thessalonians. We are introduced to Paul’s missionary team and his pattern of ministry. We are called to win souls, make disciples, then equip and send proven leaders to do the same!

In this sermon, we examine the historical context of the book of 1 Thessalonians. After departing from Philippi, Paul and his missionary team arrive in Thessalonica, preaching the gospel in synagogue and making disciples. When the Jews of the city stir up persecution, Paul must flee to Berea. He writes this letter to the new church of the Thessalonians that he left behind.

This message is a conclusion to our series in the book of 1 Samuel. We review the themes of the book: Samuel’s faithful ministry, Saul’s good start but ultimate failure, and David’s establishment and growth as the anointed of the Lord.

In this sermon, the LORD brings about the final judgment of Saul, who falls in battle to the Philistines. His refusal to truly repent and seek the LORD ends in disaster for the entire nation.

In this sermon, David and his men return from the battlefield to discover that their camp at Ziklag had been raided by the Amalekites. Their camp was burnt down, their families were taken captive. Nevertheless, David encourages himself in the LORD - and God works a miraculous rescue.

In this sermon, David finds himself in the camp of the Philistines as they prepare to march on Israel. Suspicious of his company, the princes of the Philistines dismiss him from their ranks.

In this sermon, Saul and the nation of Israel are encamped against the Philistines. When the LORD refuses to answer Saul’s prayers, he turns to a familiar spirit who summons Samuel from the dead. The prophet rebukes Saul’s wickedness and eerily pronounces his final judgment before disappearing once more.

In this sermon, David succumbs to fear again, fleeing to the land of Gath. There, he deceives king Achish while secretly invading the enemies of Israel to the south.

In this sermon, Saul makes a final attempt to hunt down David in the wilderness. This vain and prideful attempt only ends with David showing Saul mercy by refusing to slay him once again.

In this sermon, David takes Abigail to wife - and we further examine the Biblical Types of David as Christ and Abigail as the Church. However, this decision goes against the commands of the LORD for the kings of Israel. This foreshadows future troubles for David.

In this sermon, David and his guerrillas are armed and en route to the house of churlish Nabal. However, his humble and generous wife, Abigail, meets David’s forces with gifts and humbly pleads for their mercy. Nabal is ultimately judged by the Lord, but Abigail - a type of the church - receives mercy.

In this sermon, Saul gathers an elite force to hunt down David in the wilderness. When their search is to no avail, David is given a chance to slay Saul, but he chooses to have mercy. King Saul responds with feigned repentance and returns home, but David and his men remain in their stronghold.
