Saul: The Rebel King

Kings #2

January 14, 2024 • Matt Holmes • 1 Samuel 13—14

Give

The first king of Israel was a rebel king, leading an occupied people in rebellion against the Philistines. In 1 Samuel 13, Saul loses the support of God because he rushed a pre-battle sacrifice. In such dire circumstances, why did God care so much about sacrifice? Why was Saul's mistake such a big deal? The answer reveals to us the key challenge of ruling on God's behalf.

Jesus: The Risen King

March 31, 2024 • Matt Holmes

More than 400 years after the kingdom of Judah fell, a simple craftsman from the country rode into Jerusalem, claiming to be the new king. A week later, God acted in history to prove that this man was right. What was it about this carpenter that made him worthy to be the new king of God's people?

Yahweh: The Great King

March 24, 2024 • Matt Holmes • 2 Chronicles 36

The kings of Judah are supposed to rule on behalf of a greater king, the LORD God (or Yahweh). Will God allow the kings to rebel forever? Will he ever step in to stop the evil? What will it look like when he does?

Bonus:Josiah - The Doomed King

March 14, 2024 • Matt Holmes • 2 Chronicles 34—35

This bonus sermon comes from our first Thursday service. Pastor Matt took his own swing at the story of Josiah. Make sure you listen to Dr. Kasten's sermon on Josiah! In this sermon we focus on the fact that Josiah was told by God that his reforms would fail, and Judah was already doomed to destruction. How will Josiah respond when he knows that his efforts will fail? How will it affect his faithfulness? What does ity look like to follow God when all seems lost?
