1 Samuel 17

1 Samuel

Giant Faith

This sermon examines David's courage against Goliath as a call for believers to demonstrate real faith by standing against evil rather than cowering in fear, challenging listeners to speak boldly for God despite social pressure.

2 Samuel 7 · Ephesians 3:14-21

God Does More

When God says no to our plans, even with pure motives, He often has something far greater in mind. David's rejection of building God a house becomes God's opportunity to promise an eternal dynasty, teaching us to trust God's vision beyond our own.

1 Samuel 3:1-21

1 Samuel

Here I Am

This sermon contrasts Eli and Samuel to show that true faith requires not just listening to God but obedient action. Willingness to change and obey God must be reflected in how we live.

2 Samuel 9 · 1 Samuel 20

Love and Loyalty

David shows love and loyalty to Jonathan's son Mephibosheth, rewarding him not for his own merit but because of his covenant with Jonathan. The sermon applies this pattern to God's grace toward spiritually broken believers, calling the congregation to extend similar compassion to others.

1 Samuel 15

1 Samuel

Obedience

Partial obedience equals disobedience. God calls us to listen to his voice, complete our mission, and recognize that sin separates—even genuine repentance carries consequences.

1 & 2 Samuel

One Woman's Faith

2 Samuel 22:2-20 · 2 Samuel 22:21-31

Praise

This sermon uses David's song of praise in 2 Samuel 22 to explore how God provides security, light, strength, and hope. Listeners are invited to trust God with their uncertainties and difficulties, making David's faith their own.

2 Samuel 12:15-25

Riding Out the Storm

When sin brings painful consequences, believers face a choice between bitterness and faith. David's response to his child's death—from desperate prayer to humble acceptance and praise—demonstrates trust in God's goodness even in judgment.

1 Samuel 28:3-25

1 Samuel

Witch Way to Go

This sermon examines Saul's desperate consultation with a medium and contrasts his separation from God with David's trust, illustrating that nothing is worse than abandonment by God and urging believers to obey God's voice immediately.

Romans 6 · Ephesians 4

Corder's July Fest

True freedom comes not from the absence of boundaries but from slavery to what brings life. Confession and forgiveness—modeled after God's character—are essential to experiencing freedom from sin's tyranny.

John 15:12-17 · 1 Peter 1:17-21

Friend Day

Christ's willing sacrifice reveals his desire for friendship with us. Through his death, Jesus demonstrates God's love and offers redemption to all who accept his offer of relationship.
