Jonah 1:17-2:10
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Suffering…desperate prayer…redemption…resurrection—all themes of Jonah chapter 2. If you’ve ever felt alone or dejected in your suffering, this chapter is for you. Not only do we encounter a prophet reoriented to his calling in life…not only do we see the Gospel once again going forward…but we also see redemption taking effect in the last place anyone would ever expect—in the belly of a whale! See you Sunday!
Jonah 1:1-3
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Join us this Sunday as we begin a five part series on the book of Jonah! As you’ll see, there’s a reason Jonah is the favorite of many children and adults! As we “dive in” to our study, I want you to prepare yourself for the ride you’re about to take. Do that by asking the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of your heart to what He’s about to teach you. Put yourself in a submissive posture to take it all in!
1 Samuel 31:1-13
Rev. Charlie Phillips
After nearly a year, our study of 1 Samuel is coming to a close - and what an ending we have in chapter 31! It’s as shocking as it is educational for God’s people! Join us as we encounter the fall of Israel’s first king - a king like all the other nations.
Starting next week we’ll be embarking on a five-part series on the book of Jonah! Take your seasickness meds and get ready for an incredible journey of grace!
1 Timothy 1:12-17
Rev. Charlie Phillips
This Sunday we’ll be taking a break from our study of 1 Samuel so that we can connect to the theme of this year’s VBS! We’ll be diving into the kingship of God as expressed in 1 Timothy 1:17, and we’ll see that the King of the universe has been governing this world and will continue to govern it in an incredibly unique way. Join us as we gather to worship the King!
1 Samuel 28:3-25
Rev. Charlie Phillips
As we wind up our study of 1 Samuel we see that Saul is winding down—the clock is literally ticking down until his demise. In typical fashion Saul seeks the benefits of God rather than God himself and what results is one of the strangest passages in the entire Bible! Bring a friend and worship with us this Sunday as we study an unholy séance!
1 Samuel 27:1-28:2
Rev. Charlie Phillips
The first verse of 1 Samuel 27 is shocking - “Then David said in his heart, ‘Now I shall perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines.’” Given that David just had victory over his sin and had once again cornered Saul and let him live, this pronouncement of defeat comes out of left field! What would cause the upcoming king—whose future has repeatedly been laid out to him—to falter in such a way? Join us for worship Sunday morning and find out!
1 Samuel 26:1-25
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Chapter 26 recounts David and Saul’s last interaction together. Their relationship has been a rocky road at best—filled with numerous attempts at murder and close call after close call. This intense interaction shows us just what kind of men they came to be during their struggle. Join us this Sunday as we see how their relationship concludes.
1 Samuel 17:1-37
Rev. Charlie Phillips
This Sunday we come to perhaps the most well-known and beloved story in the entire Bible. Given that we know it so well, it’s easy to assume that we’ve wrung all the truth and joy from it. However, there’s always so much more than meets the eye. Join us for worship as we seek the glory of Christ in the story of David and Goliath.
1 Samuel 14:47-15:1-35
Rev Charlie Phillips
One of my favorite times of the year is the very beginning. There’s all this energy swirling around our goals and vision for life. Everyone stops for a moment and considers how their present steps are affecting their future lives and aspirations. I love it! I would in fact argue that we’re called to do such reassessments throughout our lives, and not just because of our cultural drift (which we talked about this past Sunday), but because we’re called to be stewards of the gifts, talents, and resources God has given us. Join us this Sunday as we talk about living on vision as a church community.
