This is a hard truth. We will never be able to fully understand, explain, or see all that God is doing, but it is a truth that we can and should believe, trust, rest in, and rejoice in, especially when it looks like sin, sinners, evil, and wickedness are winning in our world! 1 Samuel 2:31-352) Two contrasting lives and outcomes. The lives and stories of King Saul and David are meant to remind us that things are not always as they appear; it is far better to be in the wilderness with the Lord than in the palace without Him; physical circumstance, safety, and status cannot and do not compare to spiritual, eternal safety, security, and status; this life and world are not all there is; and one day King Jesus - not Satan, sin, or death - will have the last word and laugh! Psalm 52

    Sermon 2026.09.06 (Pastor Dave McCurley)

    SERMON NOTES — September 6, 2026Series: 1 Samuel: Shadows of the King & His KingdomText: 1 Samuel 20:24-42Topic: God’s IM: Life does not consist in achieving your goals but in the fulfilling your promises and walking in convenant with Me.Notes:1. Costly Commitment (20:24-34)Matthew 6:33Luke 14:262. Peace in the Middle of Confusion (20:35-42) IMPLICATION FOR LIFE RESPONSE1. At the highest level, our commitment to Christ - our promises and our goals may coincide. Life does not consist in achieving our goals, but in fulfilling our promises except when we are seeking first Christ's kingdom and his righteousness. Oh Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end.2. Life is made up in storms. There is either one on the horizon, or we are in the midst of one, or we have just passed through one. In His grace, God offers us a peace with Himself through Jesus Christ, a peace that surpasses all understanding. Let us rest in Him for Jesus is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

    Sermon 2026.08.30 (Pastor Tim Lindner)

    SERMON NOTES — August 23, 2026Series: 1 Samuel: Shadows of the King & His KingdomText: 1 Samuel 19:11-24Topic: God’s IM: My protection is instructive, diverse and ironic, and is meant to assure you that I have your back until your work on earth is done.The ProtectorNotes:1. God’s protection is to instruct Psalm 2:10 Psalm 2:4 Ezekiel 34:23-242. God’s protection is diverse3. God’s protection is ironic Romans 11:33 Psalm 34:1-7IMPLICATION FOR LIFE RESPONSE1. Memorize 1 Corinthians 10:13 — No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.2. Allow God to use His own imagination to deliver you. You do not have to figure it out for Him. David waited on the Lord to deliver him.3. God can use the most unusual of people to help you in your time of need. Do not spurn the Lord’s help. Be reminded that God will keep you until you have finished what He has ordained for you to do or be.
