We wrap up our New Years short series that examines the past, present and future of the church by comparing them to King Saul, the Prophet Samuel and David as found in 1st Samuel 16:1. We also use this comparison to look where individual Christians might find their devotional and relationship to God as it relates to yesterday, today or tomorrow. This final message looks at the church of tomorrow by examining Samuel's anointing the young shepherd boy David as the next King of Israel. From 1st Samuel 16:1-13.

We continue our look at the three characters found in 1st Samuel 16:1 by examining the role that Samuel played in moving the nation of Israel forward by obeying God and anointing David as the next King. In this obedience, Samuel became the bridge between yesterday (Saul) and tomorrow (David). In this message we ask the question, "Where are the Samuel's today?" the Christians and church members who are willing to guard, protect and pass on the anointing of God to the next generation. Second in a series of Three messages.

In this message we examine a pivotal moment in time for the nation of Israel as God removes his anointing from Saul and calls Samuel to go to the house of Jesse to anoint a new King. In this moment, all three of the characters are facing huge life changing decisions that will reverberate for years to come. As we move into the new year, many of the choices and decisions we will make could turn pivotal with ripples that not only affect us but those closest to us. We also examine what is the anointing of God and how you can lose it - even as a church - and what we can do to guard and protect it. From 1st Samuel 16:1. Part one of two.

In this Christmas message we examine the two birth narratives from Luke and Matthew and look at the differences between the two and explain why they are different. By harmonizing the two versions we get a complete picture that reminds us of what is truly important about both stories - the incarnation. From Luke 2:1-7

As we kick off the Advent season and begin looking towards Christmas, this message challenges us to prepare our hearts for the true meaning of the Christmas Season. We ask the question; have we spent as much time preparing our hearts as we have our homes? If not, then is it any wonder so many miss the power and purpose of Christmas. To help us prepare we look at some lessons from the one who was sent to prepare the way for Jesus, John the Baptist. From Luke 3:1-6.

In this message we discuss the battle for the mind and strongholds in our mind. What is a stronghold? How do they get built up and what can we do to tear them down. Using another Old Testament example from the life of David, we examine how Christians can identify strongholds and why it is important to deal with them sooner rather than later. From 2nd Corinthians 10:3-5, 2nd Samuel 5:6-10
