1 Peter 5:1-7 "Incentives for Humility"

Peter briefly turns his attention toward the leadership of the church, urging elders to serve willingly, with a ready mind, and by setting the example of servanthood. He then turns back to the church as a whole and reminds us to submit to one another and to remain humble. As we humble ourselves, we realize this wonderful opportunity we have to cast our cares upon the One who can do all things, knowing that He cares for us. Support the show...

2 Samuel 22:1-20 "Guess Who Shows Up"

David's song tells the story of his impending destruction at the hands of his enemies until God shows up to rescue him from certain death. Though we may not often encounter life or death experiences like David, all those who have trusted Christ have been saved from imminent eternal death and ought to praise God for his deliverance of us as David does.

2 Samuel 21:15-22 "The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall"

This text recognizes the providence of God as he protects the life of his servant David. Additionally, it is helpful for us to remember those faithful servants mentioned here and serving in our church who get little applause or fame, but are working for the purposes of God day in and day out. May we strive to be faithful. Support the show

1 Peter 4:12-19 "The Strange Rejoicing of the Christian"

Peter writes during a time of increasing persecution as believers faced the increasing hostility of Nero and the Roman Empire. The lessons he teaches them and us are very clear: God does not want us to be surprised by suffering; rather, we must be prepared for suffering so that we can endure it like our Saviour, in a way that brings glory to God who is ever faithful.

2 Samuel 21:1-14 "Wiping Away Our Tears"

The story that unfolds in 2 Samuel 21 is a gruesome one (especially for Mother's Day!). Nevertheless, this story illustrates for us that sin always comes at a price and that God the just judge will ensure it is dealt with. We see a blood covenant broken and as a result, a blood atonement was required. Even in the sadness and brutality of this story, we see God's grace revealing sin and bringing beauty from the ashes.

2 Samuel 20 "Double Rebellion"

This sermon tells the story of a man named Sheba who incited a rebellion against the kingdom. As David organizes his men who will eventually put an end to the rebellion, we see another rebel emerge within the story. Joab's rebellion is not overt like Sheba's, neither is it an obvious lack of loyalty for David. Instead, Joab's rebellion is seen in his lack of love for David and the disobedience that follows.

1 Peter 4:7-11 "Grace-filled Stewards on Mission"

Peter's reminder that the END IS NEAR is followed by immensely practical commands regarding Christian living. Believers, in light of Christ's imminent return, must think soberly, pray, love and serve. As long as we are captivated by the world around us rather than our Saviour, none of these things will come natural to us, but as soon as we begin to live in light of eternity, our prayers will change, we will love our brother and sisters in Christ, and we will use the gifts God has given us to bui...

2 Samuel 19:16-23 "A Rebellion Against the Rebellion"

God's people should be demonstrating what God's Kingdom is like here on earth. This means we must rebel against the culture around us and demonstrate that the King they have attempted to overthrow is in fact a good and gracious King worthy of our praise. Support the show

1 Peter 4:1-7 "Choose Your Judge and Live Accordingly"

The believers of the first century, much like believers today, faced a culture that was hostile to the gospel message. Peter encourages them by reminding them that our time on earth is short, and that all of us, including those who malign Christ and his church, will one day stand before God. Believers ought to remember the awesome God that we serve and then live every day for him. Support the show

2 Samuel 18:33 "Grief and Regret Part 2"

We all have regrets, but in David's case, his regrets lead his family down a pathway of war, death and destruction. This sermon will help us understand the devastating effects sin can have on a life, and then help us comprehend the amazing grace offered to us freely by God. Support the show

1 Peter 3:18-4:2 "Clarity Amidst the Chaos"

This sermon tackles some of the most confusing verses in the Bible. Where Jesus went and what he did and said there remains somewhat of a mystery; however, there is clear and applicable truths found surrounding it. Christ died in the place of sinners to bring us to God; He is now glorified in Heaven; believers therefore, must prepare to suffer before one day they are glorified together with Christ.

2 Samuel 18:33 "Grief and Regret Part 1"

This sermon explores the subject of grief. David experienced a great deal of grief in his life, much of which was caused by his own sin. Some grief is helpful in our lives to help us see and repent of our sin; some grief is an important part of the process of healing as we endure loss in this life; some grief is unhealthy. Pastor Rick walk's us through the various kinds of grief in order that we may deal with our own grief in a way that pleases the Lord. Support the show...

2 Samuel 18, 19:1-8 "Reality Check"

As David's army goes into battle against Absalom and his army, David asks the impossible of them - to be gentle with his son. David's desire to save his son, the same son who had stolen his kingdom, his wives, and vowed to kill David, nearly cost him his kingdom. Thankfully, David had a good friend Joab who could speak truth into David's life even when it hurt. We need the same kind of friends in our lives. Support the show

Matthew 28:1-6 "The Glory of the Resurrection"

Easter Sunday marks the greatest day in history; it is the day that the crucified Saviour rose victoriously from the grave conquering death and sin for all those who are found in Him. This message focuses on the difference the resurrection should make and the response to it required from both the believer and the unbeliever. Support the show

1 Peter 3:13-17 "Not All Suffering Should Be Avoided"

Suffering is a part of life on this planet, there is no way around it. Peter in this passage prepares believers for suffering and helps us to understand what suffering we can and should avoid, and what suffering will be used by God for our good, for the good of others, and for the glory of God.

2 Samuel 16:1-4, 19:24-30 "To Tell the Truth"

Can you tell who is lying? Mephibosheth and Ziba tell David conflicting stories. Rather than searching out the truth, David acts foolishly and dismisses the conflict. The likely truth; everyone in the story is doing something wrong - that is human nature. Believers, in the power of the Holy Spirit must seek to overcome their sinful nature and live for the glory of God. Support the show

1 Peter 3:8-12 "Living the Good Life"

Peter calls the believer to live a life that is unnatural. We are to love others, to be kind-hearted and sympathetic, to be humble. We are not to retaliate or to seek vengeance, but rather to bless those who seek to do us harm. This is the "good life", but our only hope to live that way is if we live in the presence of our Lord, knowing He will help us when we call out to Him. Support the show

1 Corinthians 15:1-5 "A Visible Sermon"

The gospel is the indispensable heart of Christianity. Without it, mankind is lost for eternity; because of the gospel, we can be forgiven and freed from the power and penalty of sin. Baptism is a visible demonstration of the greatest event in history - the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Support the show

Bible Translations: Lesson 12 "Attitudes and Awareness"

In the penultimate lesson on Bible translations we begin our conclusion by discussing what our attitude toward Bible translations should be as well as how we ought to approach the Word of God on a regular basis. We then review some of the important lessons we have learned about Bible translations. Support the show
