God Guarantees a New Covenant

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Jeremiah and Ezekiel
When sin entered the world, our hearts were hardened into stone. Stubborn and rejecting God. But with the new covenant in King Jesus, He promises to turn our hearts into hearts of flesh, open to receiving His grace and love. And the best part is this new covenant can never be broken because it's not dependent on our faithfulness like the old, but on His unending faithfulness.

God Judges Sin Through Exile

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Deuteronomy, 2 Chronicles, 2 Kings
Home, away, and home again. Since creation, humanity has longed to be home. The Israelites felt this as they were sent off into exile. As Christians, we feel this today. We're called not to hide our faith but to be lights in the darkness, bringing tastes of home to those who don't even know home is possible. The invitation is clear: whether we're far from God for the first time or wandering back after drifting away, the door to home stands open through Jesus.

God Convicts Through the Prophets

Pastor Jim Tinsley
1 Kings 18
One of the easiest things we can do as humans is limit our view of how big God truly is. Often times we try to place ourselves at His level, or even above Him. God's power was on full display through Elijah, but we can see His might every day if we open our eyes to see His work.

God Speaks Through the Prophets

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Isaiah 6 & Jeremiah 2
Isaiah’s vision of God in Isaiah 6 is the ultimate example of God’s call on our lives. He doesn’t force us into submission, but calls us into the Life He has set out for us. But He doesn’t call those who are equipped, but rather He equips those who are called.

God Divides the Kingdom

Pastor Stephen Kirk
1 Kings 11 & 12
Every day we are tempted to find our identity and security in something other than the God who provides it perfectly. But when we turn our eyes to the provider, our heart wells up in worship out of gratitude for what He has done.

God Forgives a King

Pastor Tim Dommer
2 Samuel 11 & 12
David, a man after God's own heart, was by no means a perfect king. His actions put him up there with some of the worst sinners in the Bible. And yet, God is full of mercy and love, forgiving David and giving us an example of true repentance looks like.

God Raises Up a King

Pastor Stephen Kirk
2 Samuel 7
2 Samuel 7 is a pivotal moment in the Story of the Bible. Through the prophet Nathan, the Lord lays out the line of King David, promising a King that will reign forever in his line. King Jesus is that fulfillment.

God Concedes a King

Pastor Stephen Kirk
1 Samuel 8
Israel demanded a human king, revealing their desire to be like other nations instead of trusting God as their true ruler. We must surrender every part of our lives to the one true King, choosing His authority over our own desires and the pressures of the world.

God Gives His People a Home

Pastor Jim Tinsley
The Book of Joshua
As Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land, it was easy for them to forget the work God had done through their redemption. We can find ourselves struggling with the same today. As we look back on what God has done, let us not forget His work and draw nearer to Him each and every day.

God Delivers Again and Again

Pastor Gary Wilkins
The Book of Judges
In all our inadequacies and failures, God continues to work in the details. He is never thrown off or left wondering what to do next. We see that on full display throughout the book of Judges. His redemption plan and promises held strong.
