David a Man After God's Heart?

Praying for Your Children

Patrice McCormac

2 Samuel 23

Patrice McCormac talks about challenges to praying for our children and how to overcome these various hurdles.

'Pestering' God

Lee Campbell

Luke 18:1-8

If the unjust judge gave the persistent widow her justice, how much more will God, a just judge, give us justice? This parable teaches us to keep praying to God and to keep waiting on God.

Why Keep Praying?

Patrice McCormac

Luke 11:5-13

We should we be persistent in prayer because being aware of the needs of others, and our inability to meet those needs, drives us to go to God with our urgent and sincere prayers. God has the resources we don't, and as our Father, He is eager to respond to our requests.

David On the Run

Scott Risley

1 Samuel 21-25

When the waiting on God becomes weeks, months, even years, will you take matters into your own hands or will you actively wait upon the Lord? Will you trust God to bring you spiritual friends while repeatedly seeking God in prayer? Will you refrain from repaying evil with evil while remembering the times God has come through?

Three Responses to God's Goodness

Patrice McCormac

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Regardless of our circumstances, we are called to have three responses to God's goodness. First, we are challenged to rejoice always in Christ no matter how good or bad are the circumstances. It is a choice we make to see God at work in the midst of our circumstances. Second, we are to pray without ceasing. We are to have an ongoing conversation with God throughout the day. Third, we must give thanks in everything, but not for everything. We have only to look at the cross to see our source of thankfulness.

The Dawn of a New Era

Scott Risley

1 Samuel 1-3

As the time of the Judges comes to a close, Hannah, a faithful servant of the Lord, as promised, offers her only child, Samuel, to the Lord to be His servant. Eli, an unfaithful priest, was unwilling to discipline his sons or show tough love. Samuel, when God calls, answers with, "Here I am!"

Living Diligently for God

Conrad Hilario

2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

Paul reminds the Thessalonians to discipline the lazy among them. Paul presents himself as a model to follow in living diligently for the Lord. He cautions them to not treat the lazy as an enemy but as brothers and sisters needing loving but firm admonishment.
