You Are Here: The School of the Prophets — 1 Kings 18 (TJ Harris)
The role of the prophet was to call Israel back to covenantal faithfulness when they strayed. Elijah is the epitome of a prophet and his confrontation with the prophets of Baal show us the disposition, courage, and conviction of the prophets.

You Are Here: Not Your Grandma's Favorite Psalm — Psalm 29 (Tanner Versage)
Worshipping God is a powerful practice, yet we unintentionally glean so many of our principles of worship from our culture instead of from scripture. Pure worship is illusive. Sometimes we have to aggressively combat the sentimental of our minds and the cute-but-lesser versions of God that the...

You Are Here: At The Throne — 2 Samuel 7 (Clint Larr)
God has given Israel a king after His own heart in David. This sermon unpacks a turning point in Israel's history: God's covenant with David. There are echoes of the promises made to Abraham but more importantly, promises that there will be a king from David's line that will reign forever. New...

You Are Here: At The Throne — 1 Samuel 8 (TJ Harris)
Israel asks for a king like "all the other nations" (v.5) so they could be "like all the other nations." (v.20) It wasn't that God never wanted Israel to have a king (cf. Gen 17:6, 49:12, and especially Deut. 17:14-20!) but he did not intend for them to be like all the other nations. They were to...

You Are Here: Barley, a Board Meeting, & a Little Black Dress — Ruth 3-4 (Tanner Versage)
The story of God often advances through the overlooked. Or those that overlook themselves While there are dozens of powerful stories of defiant heroism, Scripture has equal—if not more—accounts of God’s providence moving through the everyday averageness of His faithful people. If you don’t…

You Are Here: God Among the Lowly — Ruth pt.1 (Clint Larr)
During the times of the judges, God takes a Gentile (Moabite) woman, and redeems her. Through Ruth would come David, and later would come Jesus (Matt. 1:5). This is a story about a God who redeems the powerless and then through them, works in a way to bless the nations. It also serves to bridge…

You Are Here: Home Sweet Home? Judges 2 (Clint Larr)
During the Passover, God judged the Egyptian gods and exposed them as lies. Israel was always meant to show the world who the one true God is yet we find when they enter the Promised Land, they turn to worship the gods of the people around them. They can't show the world the glory of God when…

You Are Here: Attractive Wisdom & Ecclesiastes (Tanner Versage)
The backdrop for this sermon is Deut. 4:5-8. We are to live as God intended so the nations will notice and turn to God. Ecclesiastes calls out many of the things people live for: money, pleasure/comfort, success/achievement, etc. The Teacher's wisdom reveals we have far less control over these...

You Are Here: At the Temple (Clint Larr)
1 Kings 8 is the grand opening of the temple— a place that will hold a special significance for Israel's relationship with God moving forward. Solomon acknowledges God is bigger than the temple, but the temple becomes the place for Israel and the rest of the world to meet God. It was an anchor...
