Proverbs 3:1-12 // Bill Gorman

The wisdom of Solomon in this passage offers a blueprint for a life of favor and success. This sermon dives into the tension between human logic and divine direction, emphasizing the command to acknowledge him in all our ways. We look at what it means to honor him with our wealth and the firstfruits of our crops, and why his discipline is actually a sign of his love. By understanding that his correction is like that of a father for a son he delights in, we can learn to lean into his guidance even when the path is difficult.

Psalm 19 // Payton Ott

Psalm 19 provides a beautiful bridge between general revelation in nature and special revelation in scripture. This sermon begins by examining the first six verses, where the sun and sky act as witnesses to his power without speaking a single word. We then transition into the second half of the chapter, focusing on how his word is more desirable than gold and sweeter than honey. We conclude with a personal reflection on the final prayer of the psalmist, asking that the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing to him, our rock and our redeemer.

Job 1-2, 38:1-7, 42:1-17 // Bill Gorman

Why do the righteous suffer? This sermon examines the life of Job, a man who lost everything yet refused to abandon his integrity. We walk through the moments where he confronted his grief and the specific instances where God spoke from the whirlwind, shifting the focus from Job’s pain to the vastness of the universe. Rather than providing simple answers to complex pain, these passages invite us to trust in a wisdom that far exceeds our own. The sermon concludes with a look at his restoration, highlighting how his perspective changed after he saw the lord with his own eyes.

2 Chronicles 12:1-12 // Bill Gorman

In this sermon, we walk through the account of Rehoboam’s abandonment of the faith and the subsequent arrival of the Egyptian army. We discuss the message from the prophet Shemaiah, which forced the leaders of Israel to recognize their own role in the crisis. We analyze the exchange of the golden shields for shields of bronze, illustrating how sin often results in a loss of glory and a cheapening of what was once precious. By studying these twelve verses, we see a pattern of grace: even after a period of unfaithfulness, God responds to a humble heart, reminding us that he does not seek to destroy us, but to bring us back into a right relationship with him.

I Kings 3:1-17 // Taylor Fair

This sermon covers the early reign of king Solomon and his humble encounter with God at Gibeon. Faced with the massive responsibility of leading a nation, Solomon recognizes his own limitations and asks for an understanding heart rather than wealth or long life. We look at the sincerity of his prayer and how his desire to discern between good and evil pleased the lord. This passage teaches us about the value of spiritual priorities and how God provides the tools necessary for the tasks he calls us to complete.

1 Samuel 17 // Nathan Begnaud

This sermon covers the iconic confrontation between the young shepherd David and the Philistine giant Goliath. While the Israelite army stood paralyzed by fear in the Valley of Elah, David arrived with a different perspective, seeing the giant not as an impossible obstacle but as a defiance of the living God. We explore the contrast between King Saul’s heavy armor and David’s simple sling, showing how true victory comes from trusting in the name of the lord rather than human might or conventional weaponry.

Ruth 1:1-18 // Bill Gorman

In this sermon, we walk through the first eighteen verses of Ruth, analyzing the move from Bethlehem to Moab and the subsequent return. We discuss the cultural weight of widowhood in the ancient world and the contrast between Orpah’s logical departure and Ruth’s sacrificial devotion. Ruth’s confession of faith serves as the heart of this study, as she forsakes her past to follow Naomi and trust in the God of Israel. We see how even in the midst of bitterness and empty hands, God is quietly preparing a way for redemption that will eventually reach far beyond these two women to the rest of the world.
