There are an abundance of answers that come from the question, “What is your first thought when you think of David’s life?”   The Hebrew word for heart is leb or lebab.  The Greek word is kardia.  In both Hebrew and Greek, heart is used in the literal and the figurative sense.  The predominant usage is…

BETWEEN TWO MOUNTAINS: A HEART THAT LISTENS TO GOD El libro de los Jueces termina con una frase inquietante: “En aquellos días no había rey en Israel, y cada uno hacía lo que bien le parecía” (Jueces 21:25). Esta declaración resume el caos espiritual y moral del pueblo. Sin dirección, sin liderazgo, sin propósito. Pero…

God has had a plan for each and every person throughout the history of the world, whether the person willingly stepped forward in faith to accomplish His will or unwittingly played a role to accomplish it.  It didn’t matter if it was the least likely shepherd boy or the king of a nation.  It is…

Each one of us started out as broken.  We were much like the axe head illustrated in Pastor Lawrence’s sermon through 2 Kings 6 this past Sunday, headed for the bottom of the river and lost forever.  But like the axe head in the passage, there is a cure for our brokenness.  But the freedom…

This week, we started a new series entitled “Small but Seen.” Pastor Lawrence reminded us of a familiar truth: “God cares about us!” Much like knowing a loved one cares for you, reminders are still required. God, being infinite, can cause us to feel small in comparison. As federal employees lose jobs, immigration deports people,…

Over the last few months, our focus has been on the association of Jesus to the names of God provided in the Bible.  Perhaps to set up the beginning of that study, we look at some of the most important names of Christ, as our Savior. In Luke 1:31, the angel Gabriel tells Mary that…

“Hosanna” was this week’s name in the ongoing series Above Every Name. Pastor Mark reminded us of the events of Palm Sunday as Jesus and his followers approached Jerusalem, he instructed his disciples to obtain a donkey and a colt.
