Bathsheba and Uriah the Hittite (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cory Williamson is back for a visit. His message shows how David and Bathsheba’s story reveals the danger of drifting from our God‑given purpose, as one seemingly small decision opens the door to betrayal, manipulation, and harm that reaches far beyond us. Even so, God does not abandon David, but confronts him and offers grace, inviting us to ask whether we’re living in the purpose God has called us to and bringing our choices before Him rather than running on autopilot. Worship Setlist: The Fat
Hannah and Elkana (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hannah’s story in 1st Samuel 1 shows a woman undone by grief, praying with a raw honesty that others misread but God receives. Dennis reminds us that real faith isn’t always tidy, and that when someone is overwhelmed by sorrow, we may be standing on holy ground where God hears even the groans we cannot form. Worship Setlist: The Lion and the Lamb Battle Belongs Abide Gratitude
The Stories We Don't Tell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dennis’s message confronts the brutality of Judges 19, showing how the Levite, the father, and the men inside the house become the true villains by abandoning their responsibility to protect the vulnerable. The passage calls us to examine whether we are building a world where those at risk are truly seen, valued, and safeguarded. Worship Setlist: Who You Say I Am Same God Abide Holy Forever
Jephthah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This morning, Noah highlights how Jephthah’s story exposes the familiar Judges cycle of forgetfulness and crisis, showing a man who tries to bargain with God rather than trust Him. His tragic vow reminds us to examine our own prayers and motives, asking whether we’re seeking God’s will or negotiating for our own outcomes; please note the final portion of Noah’s message was truncated due to technical difficulties. Worship Setlist: Praise You Anywhere Trust In God Abide
Gideon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor Bill VanderWerp shares how Gideon’s story reveals that success can be a greater threat to faith than failure, as his victory over overwhelming odds is followed by a quiet drift into compromise. His life reminds us that spiritual erosion usually happens gradually, through small choices that pull us away from remembering who God is and what He has done. Worship Setlist: Praise Firm Foundation (He Won't) Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) Goodness of God
