Camilla, a teacher in her late thirties, is ready to pull back from full-time work and travel the world. Despite paying off significant student debt by teaching overseas, she has deep-seated money anxiety stemming from a difficult childhood and fears running out of funds.

Psalm 97 What gives you joy? What makes you rejoice? Our tendency is to think being in control or getting to call the shots brings joy, but our Psalm this week tells us differently. It tells us that true joy and rejoicing result from the Lord's reign over all.
Picture the Israelites singing the song of worship in Psalm 87. It says that Zion, otherwise known as Jerusalem, is God’s special place for all peoples, from the hardest to the furthest.

This Sunday, we’re looking at the moment when David’s sin comes to light—when God, in his kindness, exposes what he tried so hard to keep hidden. We’ll see that God’s integrity is rock solid: he’s always consistent with who he says he is, even when we’re not, and that’s both sobering and profoundly hopeful for people like us who know our own inconsistencies. Come ready to be honest about your heart and find that trusting in the consistency of Jesus is God’s path to real forgiveness, healing, and peace.…

David faces a no-win decision as Saul threatens his life repeatedly. He chooses to escape to the Philistines for safety despite being anointed by God as the future king.

Will we trust Jesus as he leads us into strange, difficult, or hostile seasons and situations? 1 Samuel 27…

What makes him better than Saul? Samuel evaluates potential kings based on what the last king looked like on the outside. The LORD, however, chooses the next king by what noone can see: the inner workings and ambitions of his heart. God chooses what’s best. All the time, every time. His choice is the youngest son of Jesse, the second-greatest king in God’s story. 1 Samuel 16:1-13…

Do you fear God?Do you give yourself exceptions to his good commands?This week, we will examine the kingdom-shattering moment when King Saul disobeyed God.Saul feared the people and obeyed them rather than fearing God and his word.Although it grieves God, Saul has the kingship torn away as a consequence.This passage reminds us of the gravity of our disobedience and how much we need the good news of God’s true king, Jesus.…

We can be engulfed in fear when circumstances are stacking up against us. We can feel pressed on all sides, and our default response will be either trying to make a quick change ourselves to our circumstances or trusting God through this. It is the time when fear and faith are in conflict that the wrong move can lead to far reaching damaging results. Will we double down on fear or faith? In our study in 1 Samuel this week, we get a tragic tale to drive home the truth that God’s faithful provision is what we must trust. Hard circumstances reveal what we truly are trusting in. Turning to the wrong solution can have lasting consequences for us, so it isn’t a trivial issue.1 Samuel 14:24-52…

With God's people outmatched numerically and technologically against a tough opponent, Jonathan's radical but simple faith in God proves pivotal in God saving his people. We'll see the faith of one leading to many people following the Lord.

Have you ever been in a bad situation with no tools and little hope? This is how God’s people felt after King Saul disobeyed God, the Philistines invaded their land, and they don’t have anyone to sharpen their plows or make them swords. This particular situation is new to them, but the story is not. God’s people are often weak, but they always have a great God who makes a way for them. 1 Samuel 13.15-23…

Saul is tall, Saul is strong, Saul is handsome, Saul is King. But here we see Saul is small, Saul is weak, Saul needs the strength of Someone better. As the war rages and the walls close in around him, we see in Saul an example of someone who wanted the blessing of God, but without the obedience to God. Where Saul should have trusted in the Word of the Lord, he wavered, and he misses the blessing. But for those who wait in faithful obedience to God, it’s kingdom blessing. 1 Samuel 13…

Sometimes when we mess up, there's a tendency in us to want to give up. This can be true whether at home, work, or the gym, and also when we are following Jesus. This isn't just true of us in our day.This Sunday, we're returning to our sermon series in the Book of Samuel. As Saul becomes king, God's people realize they have messed up big. They have disobeyed him. With fear set in, Samuel instructs the people, "Do not turn aside." Then, he gives them great news that will help them walk in faith: God will not forsake his people. 1 Samuel 12…

Yahweh has chosen a king for Israel - Saul, son of Kish. He provides him with both personal and public signs confirming his calling. Yet, Saul hides from what the LORD is calling him to be for his mission. Rather than step forward in faith, in weakness he hides.Often in our own lives we are full of weakness and sin and hide from God’s calling on our lives. What Israel needed, and what we need, is God’s true king who never hid from doing God’s will - even when that led to his own death for the sins of his people.…

There are times in our lives we find ourselves lost. Searching and unsure of our place. Though we start lost and sometimes can’t seem to find our way or what we are looking for, God is at work.Followers of Jesus do not remain lost, because they are forever found by the Lord. Through the circumstances and details of the good & the bad in this life, we are never lost from the watchful care of our good and loving God.1 Samuel 9-10:8…

Do you want God as King? It’s such a simple question on the surface yet we struggle to answer “Yes!” with a fully aligned head, heart, and hands. But this struggle is nothing new. This week, we’ll see God’s people realize they will soon need a new earthly leader as Samuel ages and his sons are unfit and we’ll see them ultimately reject God as their King even though He is a King like no other.…

How do you turn it around? You know you’ve been headed in the wrong direction and haven’t been very focused on God in your life. Maybe your circumstances are causing you to question the way you’ve gone? Or it could be behavior or desires that you see within yourself that surprise you. What do you do to see God present in your life once again and how to get out of the rut of your sin?These are questions we all face at times in our lives. We find answers in the story of Israel in 1 Samuel. We get to hear Samuel call us all back to God to see victory and peace once more in our lives as we learn from the story of early Israel. 1 Samuel 7…

1 Samuel 6-7:2The Philistines have Israel’s God captured, or so they think. The Ark of the Covenant, the holy symbol of God’s presence, which was so easy to take and move around and place inside their temple, is now causing all sorts of national problems. The Philistines can’t handle God’s presence, the ark must go. Maybe when the ark is returned to Israel all will be better again? Not so much. Israel can’t handle God’s presence either. Who then can stand before this holy God?…

"Is God the Lord?” After Israel loses a big battle, the Philistines think very little of God. After their capture of the ark of God, the Philistines set it up in the house of their god, Dagon. Israel’s God seems weak and defeated, but is that true? How will he respond?

“Why were we defeated?” After defeat in an important battle, the people of God look to God for deliverance but don’t address the real issue: their sin. They try again but don’t turn from sin, leading to another lost battle, more ruined lives, their enemies capturing the Ark of God, and one of the most terrible lines in the whole bible, “The glory has departed from Israel.”…

As we continue in 1 Samuel we see Israel is livingIsrael is living in the dark because God’s speaking to his people was rare. Then, into that darkness God calls Samuel to be his prophet, bringing the light of his word to Eli and Israel. Just like our bodies need food when we are hungry, we need the prophetic Word of God in order to live. We will be asking ourselves this question: Are we living our lives guided by God’s prophetic word?…

After Eli, the priest, has confronted his sons regarding their sin, God sends an unnamed prophet to confront Eli. Eli’s house has been honored by God for generations and received great blessings, but has, in return, dishonored God. God rejects Eli and his line, but his redemptive plan won’t end. Instead, He will raise up another line of priests who will be faithful forever.…

As we find out the priests are stealing from God in his Temple, the darkness increases in the Book of Samuel. After all, sin is to be confessed, not committed, in God’s presence. And even when confronted about their sin, these priests won’t stop. Yet, God was also growing a light in the darkness. We’ll find that, amidst all of the corruption and contempt, the boy Samuel is growing in favor with God and man.…
This is the end of Hannah’s story. She made a big ask, she promised a huge response, God answered her prayer, and she moves forward in faith. Hannah turns Samuel over for lifelong service to the Lord. The gift she received from God becomes a gift from Hannah to the world. Hannah is a link in the glorious chain of God’s promise of redemption tracked through history.Hannah’s God is holy and sovereign, and he is in control of the fates of mankind, so what else could she possibly do but sing?…
The Book of Samuel begins with the story of Hannah, a barren woman who has felt forgotten by God and frustrated by her family. Completely heartbroken, Hannah’s pain grows year after year. But Hannah does not give up her faith. Instead she pursues God in worship and prayer until … when things are seemingly at their worst … God gives her peace, remembers her, and makes Hannah “no longer sad.”…

Advent is the season of reflecting on the arrival of Jesus, the son of God, as a human. God the Father sent Jesus his Son to free us from sin. In itself, this is an incredible and undeserved blessing he has given us. What’s even more amazing is that God sent Jesus to elevate us to be full members of God’s family. Through our union with Jesus, we have full access to God as our Father. This is an even greater blessing than forgiveness of our sins. When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son… so that we might receive adoption as sons.…

Have you ever wondered, “Will I ever be holy and blameless?” The gap between who we are and who God calls us to be is large, and we can feel hopeless to get there. As Paul closes his letter to the Thessalonians, he assures this baby church that disciples of Jesus will one day be holy and blameless … and it won’t be because they are great or smart or hardworking. They will be made holy and blameless because the faithful God who called them is also the God who will make them holy.…
