Hope Presbyterian Church (PCA‪)‬ Pastor Will Stern

In "Things Fall Apart," Pastor Stern reflects on David's trials in exile, encouraging listeners to strengthen themselves in the Lord through biblical meditation and repentance, and to respond by seeking God's guidance, obeying His commands, and giving thanks, with Jesus as the ultimate focus of our lives.

Join Pastor Will Stern in his sermon "Escaping Worldliness" as he examines the narrative of David's retreat to Ziklag in 1 Samuel 29, shedding light on the pitfalls of seeking worldly solutions for spiritual burdens and the perils of straying from the path of righteousness.

The sermon explores the theme of feeling abandoned by heaven and what to do in such moments. Drawing from Saul's desperate consultation with a medium and David's response to crisis, it highlights the dangers of seeking spiritual guidance outside of God's commands. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of moving towards God in repentance, prayer, study of the Word, Christian community, and a firm belief in future grace.
