Jonah 3:1-10
Rev. Charlie Phillips
What should we expect from God when we evangelize? What does repentance in the life of a non-believer look like? Can God change his mind? These are just a few of the questions dealt with in Jonah chapter 3! Bring a friend on fire for the Lord and join us this Sunday as we dive further into the greatest revival of all time!

Jonah 3:1-10
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Jonah chapter 3 is one of the most exciting passages in the Bible. An entire nation repents—from kings and noblemen down to paupers and children! There’s more spiritual fruit in 10 verses than we can imagine! Pray for the Spirit’s leading and power as you come to worship this Sunday. Expect to leave changed!
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 1:4-16
Rev. Barr Overcast
The trials we experience are often compared to a storm, and with good reason. Storms can be dangerous and deadly, and they are always completely out of our control. This is even more true of a storm at sea: the wind and waves crash against the side of the boat, tossing the passengers back and forth above the watery depths. This Sunday, we'll look at Jonah caught in the storm and learn what his storm has to teach us about the struggles and pain of our own lives.
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!
Psalm 23:4
Rev. Lee Lovett
No one wants to be in the dark! We’ve all asked the question, “Is there light at the end of the tunnel?" The news community seems to only report darkness and pain. We look at society, politics, “global warming”, etc. and worry about the future for ourselves and our children. Is there light for living powerfully in a broken world? Join us for worship this Sunday!
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 30:1-31
Rev. Barr Overcast
There is probably no question of theology more difficult to answer than the existence of evil. How can God be good and sovereign and still allow evil to exist in the world? In our passage this week, David comes face-to-face with both God's sovereignty and true evil. His story shows us how an understanding of God's sovereignty equips us for the moments when we too are brought face-to-face with evil.
1 Samuel 29:1-11
Rev. Charlie Phillips
In chapter 29 we see the unthinkable happening with David and his men preparing to march with the Philistines against God’s people. It’s both a frightening scene and a comforting scene. It’s frightening in that it shows how far our sin can lead us. It’s comforting in that it shows us the depths from which God can deliver us. Join us this Sunday as we explore the inexhaustible nature of God’s mercy for His people.
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 25:32-44
Rev. Charlie Phillips
This Sunday we’ll continue the story of 1 Samuel 25 with David being held back from heinous sin and redirected towards the providence of God. Join us as we learn about the restraint, renewal, and restoration of our sovereign God!
1 Samuel 25:1-31
Rev. Charlie Phillips
In many ways David has lived an exemplary life of suffering in the wilderness. He’s sought help from the priesthood, leaned on the Lord, taken counsel from Jonathan, and remembered God’s faithfulness over the years. Chapter 25 is the first time we see a different side of David. Pray for the Spirit’s leading as we gather this Sunday to explore the depth of the human heart.
1 Samuel 24:1-24
Rev. Barr Overcast
David's day of deliverance is finally here! Or is it? From every earthly angle, this ought to be the moment when David executes judgment and rids himself and all of Israel of the rejected king. Yet he spares Saul, cutting off nothing more than a bit of Saul's robe. Why? Join us this week as we look at the God-centered perspective that prompts David to save his enemy.
1 Samuel 23:15-29
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Have you ever been through a season in life where you felt like you were barely hanging on?—Yes, you believed in Jesus and His death and resurrection—but you still felt like your hope was waning? Like David, we all experience seasons in the wilderness, and we long for comfort. Join us this Sunday as we learn where and how to seek the comfort we were made to receive and give.
1 Samuel 23:1-14
Rev. Charlie Phillips
As we jump back into our study of 1 Samuel we get a glimpse of David at his best—bravely leading his men to save the people of Keilah. But at his best David doesn’t lean on his personal gifting but rather on his sovereign God. By his leadership, he provides a model for Christians called to lead in troubled times in a rapidly changing culture. Join us this Sunday as we learn how to lead on the edge!
2 Corinthians 13:14
Rev. Charlie Phillips
How well do you know our Trinitarian God? Is He is your passion? Is He your all in all? Are you progressing in your knowledge of the Godhead? It’s really easy in the Christian life to stay surface-level in the faith. And for that reason many believers never fully enjoy the depths of the Godhead. Join us this Sunday as we talk about Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Romans 6:1-11 Rev. Charlie Phillips
Easter is the one Sunday a year when the majority of Americans attend church. It’s been a tradition or staple of our culture for generations (especially in the south). For many people it’s “just what we do as Americans”. In other words it’s the normal thing to do. But in reality the message of Easter is that the extraordinary has broken through the ordinary, making all things new. Bring your friends and family and join us for a Sunday full of Gospel life!
