David: The Boy Who Became King
Prequel: The Request For a King
July 9, 2021 • Warwick de Jersey
Our world is in a season that puts an extremely bright spotlight on our leaders. This attention only grows more intense with every unexpected twist and turn they face. Some would say this isn't a season at all - it's just part of the new normal. Do we emotionally invest far too heavily in politics? Are we expecting our leaders to give us something only God can provide? Do we worry, rather than trust? Pastor Warwick will help us explore a very similar season for Israel, and why their request for a king was actually a rejection.
Episode 1: David & Samuel
July 16, 2021 • Jim Burgess
We begin a sermon series about a story that Tim Keller once described as "the most fascinating narrative of a single individual in all of ancient literature." Not only that, this man also happens to be the greatest model of Christ in the entire Old Testament. We're talking about David. He experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows, and through it all, never abandoned his faith. We will discover together why there's more written about this man than anyone else in the Bible - except Jesus.
Episode 2: David & Goliath
July 23, 2021 • Warwick de Jersey
The most famous David story of all time - Goliath. While this scenario would strike fear into the mightiest of warriors, the shepherd boy David felt absolutely none. What was his secret? We'll discover that together as Pastor Warwick brings us into the second week of our sermon series with Episode 2: David & Goliath.
Episode 3: David & Jonathan
July 30, 2021 • Jim Burgess
Truly great friendship doesn't come by very often. For many, it's just a handful of times throughout their lifetime. A friend that truly "gets" you and vice versa, along with full trust and acceptance, is a gift indeed. We'll hear about the greatest friendship described in the Bible, and discover the qualities that make for true friendship. We'll also find out about the greatest friend of all, as Pastor Jim brings us Episode 3 of David: The Boy Who Became King.
Episode 4: David & Ahimelech
August 6, 2021 • Warwick de Jersey
We make a lot of choices. One study concluded the average adult can make around 35,000 per day. Of course, many of them are seemingly low-impact decisions - or are they? After all, every single choice has a consequence. Pastor Warwick brings us Episode 4 of the David Series: David & Ahimelech! This message talks about a man in David's life who had a choice, and the results were extraordinary in every way.
Episode 5: David & Saul
August 13, 2021 • Warwick de Jersey
Sometimes it seems like everything around us tells us to...consume. You need to buy this. You need to eat this. You need to watch this. Rarely will you receive the plea to listen. In this message, we will hear about how listening - and trusting - was part of the journey of the greatest king in the Bible, as Pastor Warwick brings us Episode 5 of the David Series: David & Saul.
Interlude: The Fall of Saul
August 20, 2021 • Warwick de Jersey
Think of your favourite hymn or worship song. Lyrics of love, mercy, forgiveness, and power may float into your mind. What about that song dealing with...judgement? Wait - are there any? Judgement is not usually high on the list of things we like to dwell on when it comes to our Lord. There's something about being examined, or weighed, that's just uncomfortable. In this message, we are going to explore this facet of God with fresh eyes - and why it belongs right up there with love, compassion, and mercy - as Pastor Warwick brings us the interlude of the David Series: The Fall of Saul.
