The Problem of Evil & Suffering

Austin Davis • John 11

In this sermon, Starkville Campus pastor Austin Davis examines the difficulties we face in life and how they may cause us to question God's goodness in the midst of suffering. Through scripture, we can come to understand that suffering does not indicate a lack of God's love and ultimately leads to hope and redemption through Jesus Christ.

Can We Talk About Pornography?

Father’s Day: Becoming a Mighty Man

June 16, 2024 • Chip Henderson • 2 Samuel 23:8–12

To be the mighty man God wants you to be is a high calling and great responsibility. Study after study shows that when a father is present and engaged, women and marriages flourish, kids excel and communities rise. In this sermon, we look at King David, who was the greatest king Israel ever had. And, one of the reasons David’s kingdom was established and sustained is because David was surrounded by some “Mighty Men” — men who were loyal, courageous, and servant-hearted.
