2 Samuel 21 - Sin's Consequences And Teamwork



As we come to the last four chapters of 2 Samuel, instead of organizing themselves chronologically, they look back on David’s kingdom, God’s kingdom, and the relationship between them. Chapter 21 discusses some of life’s biggest questions, such as, “If there is a good God, why does he allow natural disaster and suffering?” Join us as we turn to the Bible for answers to some of life’s biggest questions.

Ephesians 6:4 - Teach Your Children



Schools have adopted a new system of writing for children. It is called Inventive Spelling. Children are allowed to write words in any way that feels right to them. This is intended to help children feel good about themselves and build self-esteem. Is allowing encouraging children to do whatever feels right to them the right way to raise our children? Join me as we look at God’s instructions on how to raise children.

1 Samuel 8 - Give Us A King!



This week the war on Ukraine dominated headlines. Behind the death of thousands and destruction of the second-largest nation in Europe is one man, Vladimir Putin. He has unchecked authority in Russia and enough power to destroy the world in war. How do tyrants like Putin come to power? What will they always do once in control? These are some of the questions we will cover this weekend as we continue our studies in 1 Samuel and look at the problem with a king.

1 Samuel 1:21-28 - Dedicating Our Children To God



First-time mom Hayley Sexton painted the nursery pink. She had a girl’s name picked out. All of the baby shower gifts were for a girl. In two different ultrasounds, the doctor assured her she was having a girl. To her surprise, she gave birth to a boy! Children don’t always turn out the way we planned. As we continue our study in 1 Samuel, we learn from Hannah about preparing our children for the future and dedicating them to God.

Mark 10:13-16 - Jesus On Children




Today we have Disney Land, summer camp, and school sports. We love children. It wasn't always that way. In the ancient world, children were considered a nuisance and bother. In a world without birth control, unwanted children were left in the fields to die of exposure. Into this anti-child world, Jesus came. He came with a different attitude toward children. He loved them. He held them. He was never too busy for them. As we continue our study in the Gospel of Mark, we learn why Christians are to love children, like Jesus loved them. We also learn how unless we become like a child, we will never enter the kingdom of God.

edge


As President Obama spends his final days in office the news pundits are discussing the legacy he will leave behind. All of us will leave a legacy for our children and the generations that follow.

Genesis 25 - Good Ending, Tough Beginning




In 1771 the king of Sweden died of digestion problems after consuming a meal of lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, smoked herring, champagne and 14 servings of his favorite dessert. He is the king remembered for a bad ending as he literally ate himself to death. In Genesis 25, we look at the final days of Abraham and how the memory of his death reminds us we can trust in God’s promises.

Genesis 21 - Promises




The election season is in full swing. The candidates for president are making promises of what they will do for us if elected to office. Unfortunately, most of us don't believe them. Politicians have become synonymous with dishonesty. Bill Clinton promised to lower taxes for the middle class, he didn't. Franklin Roosevelt ran for president on the pledge he would balance the budget. While in office the national debt ballooned. Is there anybody we can trust to keep their word? In this message we learn God is always true. It doesn't matter how long it takes or how great the odds, we can rest assured that God will come through on every promise he made in his word.
