Sermons

David’s story in 2 Samuel 6 reminds us that God’s presence once dwelled in the Ark but now lives within us, calling us to prepare our hearts and lives to meet Him. We must learn to pause intentionally in His presence, like David’s reverent sacrifices every six steps, and not rush through spiritual moments. Rather than just reflecting our environment, we’re called to change it—bringing God’s presence, joy, and hope—by praising Him and practicing His presence daily.

David lived in dependence on God, seeking Him not just for answers, but for direction—he didn’t ask how to win battles, he asked if he should fight at all. True faith is more than a question or a sticker; it’s a lifestyle that responds with obedience, sacrifice, and action. Like the rich young ruler, we may ask the right questions, but unless we’re willing to follow the One who leads, we’ll miss the deeper transformation God desires.

This sermon reminds us that Easter is not over—if you’re still breathing, God still has a plan for you. In moments of discouragement and doubt, we must remember God’s promises, recognize His presence even when we don’t see it clearly, and allow our hearts to burn with faith in His Word. The resurrection isn’t just a past event to celebrate—it’s a present power to respond to, inviting us to turn around and walk in new purpose.

Victory doesn’t depend on size but on strategy, faith, and knowing who you are in God. To win the fight, you need the right perspective, the right voice, the right weapons, and the right confidence—focusing not on fear or self, but on the power of God. Just like David, when we rely on what God has equipped us with and trust in His name, we can overcome any enemy that stands in our way.

Samuel anointed David as king, but he couldn’t rule Israel yet. Only after 15 years of waiting, under the command and service of King Saul, would David become the king of Israel. As Christians we can expect to wait – we wait on God to answer our prayers, to change lives, to speak to us, and ultimately to return. So how do we, as David writes in Psalm 40, “wait patiently for the Lord?”

In this new series, we look into the life of David, exploring how we can follow his example and become a person that God is looking for. God used David for amazing things, and we believe God wants to do the same now, with us, if we are ready. While the world may look at all kinds of things to decide if we are ready, God looks only at the heart. David, a “man after God’s own heart,” sought God, served humbly, and was completely satisfied in God.

As we finish this series about the Armor of God, we learn of the Sword of the Spirit “which is the word of God.” Taking up Scripture as we would a sword, God gives us an offensive weapon to fight back against the lies and attacks of the enemy. We can trust the authority, power, truth, and transformative ability of the Bible to lead joy-filled, Scripture-saturated lives.
