by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/27/2017) Yesterday, we began to see that the result of David’s faithlessness is death and destruction! At Nob, he lied and deceived, and the result was ultimately the death of these innocent priests. Our lack of faith can lead to dire results if we are not careful! Let…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/27/2017) As we have seen, even a “man after God’s own heart” is just a man! And David was no different: as faithful as he had been at times, now he has lost his faithfulness and resorted to the scheme of men to protect himself as he fled…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/27/2017) In the last message, we began looking at the roots of David’s lapse of faith. Today, we are going to go back and pick up a portion of the last message, but also begin to look at the faithfulness of God. God provided David a friend even…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/27/2017) As we have begun to see, while David was truly a “man after God’s own heart,” he was not a perfect man! We are currently studying the account that demonstrates a failure of his faithfulness. What were the roots of this failure of faith? Today, we begin…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 7/23/2017) David was truly a “man after God’s own heart,” but he was not a perfect man! There were times when his faith failed. The topic today covers one such time. Although God had sustained David his whole life, even through the mismatched battle with Goliath, when Saul…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 7/16/2017) It’s been said that for every one hundred men who can survive adversity, only one can survive prosperity! David’s success in the battle with Goliath brought major changes to his life. But praise the Lord, his success did not change him! Join us as we see the…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/28/2017) In the last post, we began to look at the REAL “David and Goliath” story, which involved the real shepherd boy David facing off in the Valley of Elah against the real giant Goliath. We were beginning to see what set David apart from all the warriors…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/28/2017) Do you have giants in your life? David faced an ACTUAL giant! Goliath, the champion of the wicked Philistines, stood nearly 10 feet tall, and was the sworn enemy of Jehovah God. David, on the other hand, was a teenaged shepherd boy. The natural odds were against…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/21/2017) In the last podcast post, we had begun looking at the aftermath of David’s anointing as king. Rather than storm the castle, David humbly accepted God’s timing and was obedient in the meantime. And then he was called to come to the palace itself and play the…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/21/2017) When Samuel anointed the shepherd boy David, He was at that moment – in the mind and purpose of God – the King of Israel! But instead of marching down to Jerusalem and forcefully deposing Saul, David humbly took up the shepherd’s staff and went back to…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 5/14/2017) Yesterday, we began to see the contrast between the choice of Saul and the choice of Dave, and their respective reigns. Saul was a king who walked primarily by sight, whereas David was a king who walked primarily by faith. As we learn more about what it means…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/14/2017) In today’s message, we read the account of Samuel going to Jesse’s house to anoint a new king of Israel. The reason for the new anointing is that God has rejected King Saul because of his disobedience, and has determined to have a new king of Israel…
