This week, we explore what it looks like to live in the tension of knowing God is sovereign in a broken, sinful world. What are ways we see God's Word leveraged for our gain in our own culture?

As sin and all the mess it creates is constantly being exposed, our hearts should be asking: what is God's relationship to the mess of sin? This question guides us through the heavy events of 2 Samuel 2-4.Από τον Eric Reeves

In this week's AfterWord, we enter into 2 Samuel by discussing relationships, forgiveness, and God's sovereignty. How have we seen God teach us through sin, pain, or relationships? How have we personally cultivated deep relationships? What has pursuing forgiveness looked like in our own lives?Από τον The Town Church

2 Samuel 1 37:25

11d ago37:25

At the start of 2 Samuel, David learns of Saul and Jonathan's deaths, leading to mourning and lamentation. In these events, we see how God sovereignly uses all things to teach us and reveal more of Himself.Από τον Brock Hornung

This week, we examine how a perfectly holy God brings forth His judgement upon sin. Some questions were: What does engaging the lost look like in your life? How do you consider God's justice? Is there a difference between justice and fairness? What are ways you have personally seen the devastating effects of sin?…

Today, we are joined by a special guest as we discuss 1 Samuel 28. We discuss some of the details of the passage and narrow in on two main application questions: How have you handled it in the past when you felt God was silent? When God seems silent and you are desperate, to whom or what do you tend to turn? AND: Which animal is more frightening, a…

1 Samuel 28 46:48

How do we respond when we perceive that God is silent? In 1 Samuel 28, Saul takes matters into his own hands, leading to desperate actions and his eventual defeat.Από τον Vince Black

The AfterWord - 1 Samuel 26-27 52:08

1M ago52:08

52:08

After what seems like endless pursuit from Saul, we see David grow weary of doing good, leading him to seek refuge amongst the Philistines. Rather than continuing in faithfulness, his endurance wavers. Where do we see the call to endure in our own lives? How do we actively fight against giving up when we grow weary?…

1 Samuel 26-27 45:07

1M ago45:07

45:07

1 Samuel 26-27 serve as a call to not grow weary of doing good. In these chapters, David's endurance falters as Saul continues to pursue him. However, the weakness of this king reminds us of the strength of the True King who endured for us.Από τον Vince Black

1 Samuel 24-25 50:32

2M ago50:32

50:32

In this passage, we see a stark contrast between when David trusts God's plan and when he trusts his own plan. One side is characterized by humility, confession, and repentance; the other by pride, vengeance, and an unrepentant heart. Through all of this, David's shortcomings remind us how much greater Christ is.…

In 1 Samuel 22-23, we see how the Lord protects, guides, and uses the leaders He has put in place. Despite David's circumstances, he still turns to worship, trusting God's unending faithfulness. (Psalms for reference: Psalm 54; Psalm 57: Psalm 142)Από τον Vince Black

1 Samuel 21 36:00

2M ago36:00

36:00

In 1 Samuel 21, we see a beautiful picture of the gospel and God's mercy toward sinners. David, the "hero" of the story, fears man rather than God, and this lack of trust leads him toward sin and its consequences. In His kindness, God rescues David, reminding us of God's grace toward us through Christ, the true hero of Scripture.…

This week, we are joined by two very special guests as Eric takes us through some reflections on 1 Samuel 18-20. Are we currently in an "in-between" season? How have we seen the Lord bring us through previous seasons of waiting? Can painful "in-betweens" really be part of God's plan?Από τον The Town Church

1 Samuel 18-20 51:12

2M ago51:12

51:12

1 Samuel 18-20 marks the turning point in David's relationship with Saul, resulting in events that seem like a major detour between David's anointing and eventual reign as king. However, we know that this "in-between" season is still a piece of God's overall plan, and David's example teaches us how to live in the midst of waiting.…

The AfterWord - 1 Samuel 17 57:27

2M ago57:27

57:27

In 1 Samuel 17, we see David's anger over Goliath's opposition to the Living God, and he defeats Goliath for the glory and honor of God. How do we respond to the things in our own culture that directly oppose God? How does dwelling on the details of our lives cause us to overlook the greater picture of God's glory?…

1 Samuel 17 58:15

2M ago58:15

58:15

1 Samuel 17 tells the story of one of the most well-known showdowns in history: David and Goliath. At its heart, this passage is not about us; rather, it is about the glory and honor of God. It reveals to us that God will never allow opposition to stand against Him, and it challenges us to consider our own response to the things that directly oppos…

1 Samuel 16 introduces us to David, the youngest of the sons of Jesse and a simple shepherd. Although he was overlooked by man, God saw David's heart and chose him as the king of His people. How does God use the ordinary, overlooked things in our own lives for His purposes? How can seeing more of God in these things shift our affection back towards…
