Becoming a Person After God’s Own Heart (50 Days With David) – West Palm Beach church of Christ

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. David is walking a long, miserable road. We have seen David deal with a number of tremendous obstacles. But this trial may be his toughest yet. “David was climbing the slope of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he ascended. His head was covered, and he was walking barefoot. Each of the people with him […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. There was a long running program that was on while I was a child on ABC called Wide World of Sports. I loved watching the introduction to the show each week.

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The Story: The armies of two nations have gathered for battle. On one side, the armies of Israel take their stand at the top of a hill. On the other side, the armies of the Philistines take their stand on top the hill. In between the two armies is a valley, the location designated for […]

A sermon from Brent Kercheville. It is a time of wickedness throughout the land of Israel. Samuel is the last judge over the people and he is a righteous man. However, “his sons did not walk in his ways but turned aside after gain. They took bribes and perverted justice” (1 Samuel 8:3). Because of Samuel’s old age and the […]
