How Not to Die

October 16, 2022 • J.D. Greear • 1 Samuel 28, 1 Samuel 31

In this message from 1 Samuel, Pastor J.D. walks through the tragic last chapter of Israel’s first king. King Saul held such promise in the beginning. But the longer he reigned, the more it became clear that he wanted God’s blessing much more than he wanted God. And Saul isn’t alone: In the church today, many people seem destined to miss heaven by 18 inches—the distance between your head and your heart.

And I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

April 30, 2023 • J.D. Greear • 2 Samuel 24

Life Song

April 16, 2023 • J.D. Greear • 2 Samuel 22—23

A person’s last words can often be very telling. In this week’s message, Pastor J.D. gives us a glimpse into a song that David wrote during an earlier time in his life, which serves as a summary of both his life and his ministry. From these “last words” of David, we can learn important truths about God—truths that sustained David, and that can sustain us through even the darkest of times.

The Harvest of Poor Choices

March 26, 2023 • J.D. Greear • 2 Samuel 13—21

As we near the end of 2 Samuel, this week’s message from Pastor J.D. is one that examines the often far-reaching consequences of sin. These consequences played out not only in David’s life, but in the lives of many in his family. For those who have experienced the tragic results of sin, either your own or that of others, things may seem hopeless—but there is healing to be found in the true King who redeems and restores.
