2 Samuel 11-14
In the last 10 chapters, David has resisted harming or killing Saul, and David inquired of the Lord and obeyed him. In 2 Samuel 11-14, the story takes a marked pivot. David violated and killed, and the consequences were great and generational.
In these chapters, David “utterly scorned” the LORD, and didn’t lead his family. In the previous chapters of 1-2 Samuel, we had a vision for a godly generational reign; in thes...
As the King Fares, So Do His People: 2 Samuel 2-10
David knew he had been anointed king of Israel for the sake of God’s people. But now we see that God had much more in mind than one king over one little nation for one little page of history. In these incredible promises to David, we hear the fulfillment of his long ago promises to Abraham, and we realize that God has chosen David to be the first in a long line of Israelite kings t...
This week’s chapters, 1 Samuel 27- 2 Samuel 1, highlight Saul’s undoing and David’s deliverance. The narrator contrasts the character of David and Saul throughout these chapters as they face hardship. Where do they seek their help? How is God at work? Saul continues to pursue self-sufficiency. But, we see by God’s grace, “David strengthened himself in the Lord” (1 Sam 30:6b). In our distress we are to turn and be strengthened in th...
This week, we learned that David grew as a man after God’s own heart and in his role as king by learning and remembering that “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers them out of them all.” (Ps 34.19) David experienced persecution, betrayal, false accusations, and many other afflictions. In Psalm 56, he lamented “man tramples me all day . . all day long an attacker oppresses me, they have waited for my life...
Beholding and Becoming in Friendship and Community: Doubled Joy and Halved Sorrow
Our God is a relational God, and he created us to be in relationship with Him and others. How does God use the friendships and communities in our life to make us more like Jesus? We’ll consider unique challenges at each stage of life, and share how life in community has helped us persevere in faith.
The Battle is the Lord’s
1 Samuel 17 highlights the story of David and Goliath, where we see God at work to defend the honor of His name through David’s weakness.
"Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Consider what great things he has done for you." –1 Samuel 12:24
Our lesson this week in 1 Samuel 8-15 highlights Israel’s transition to a monarchy, Saul's rise to power, and his eventual rejection by God due to disobedience. We saw God sovereignly work through Israel’s demand for an earthly king “like the nations” to reveal their weak ...
Amelia will help us see how the gospel brings hope and stability when life seems out of control.
In 1 Samuel 4-7, an important question is asked: “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God?” Samuel’s answer comes with a promise: To stand in the presence of the LORD, you must humbly repent of your dishonoring him, put away all your idols, and serve the LORD with your whole heart . . . and he will deliver you from the Philistines--or in our case, every weight and sin which clings so closely. Today, the call of the LORD...
As we seek to become more like Christ, our marriage is an opportunity to live out the “one another” commandments from Scripture. As we do, we will grow in unity and connection together.
February 2 & 3
New Beginnings: Hannah, Eli, and Samuel (1 Samuel 1-3)
God chooses the setting of barrenness and the context of dark rebellion as the opening scene to giving a promised child, who will point to the King.
Join us in examining the biblical, historical, cultural and literary context of 1-2 Samuel. Gain some new insights into studying Biblical Narrative, and see how God is fulfilling His promises and foreshadowing his Coming King.
What a privilege it is to live out our faith before the watching eyes of our children. Kelly Vranyes will share life stories of how God has used time in the word and prayer in his sanctifying work in her and her children's lives. “Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart“ (Jeremiah 15:16).

5. To God Be All the Glory!
Romans 15 calls us as believers to live out Christ’s example of love, living in harmony with each other, to support the spread of the gospel and glorify God. God equips us with hope and endurance through the Scriptures and by Christ’s example, to glorify God together.
God's Righteousness Lived Out: Honoring Convictions While Extending Grace
In Romans 14, Paul provides categories and principles to foster unity among brothers with different consciences. He outlines that we believers, proceeding from faith, welcome and honor one another, put off passing judgment on one another in matters of conscience--because we live and die to the Lord--and instead, we pursue peace with each other, building up on...
Responding to God’s Self-Revelation: Worshiping Through the Seasons of Life
God reveals Himself to humanity so that we would rightly respond to Him in worship. Romans 12:1 expresses Paul's heart that all of life should be seen as worship. We naturally ask, so what does it look like to 'treasure Christ in all of life?' Practical help for growing as worshipers in the ordinariness of daily life.
Explore with Paul how love fulfills the Law as we live transformed lives by the power of the Spirit.
In Romans 12:9-21, we saw how God’s righteousness is lived out in our everyday lives as we interact with a wide range of “one anothers.” As we behold the perfect example of genuine love in Jesus, we become more like Him.
