Fire of Jonathan's Faith
Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 14:1-7 and shows us how quality (the power of our God) wins out over quantity (our own ability and resourses) every time. Jonathan's faith that he and his armor bearer could defeat 3,000 Philistines was based not in knowing how but in trusting who.
Resting in the Eternal Love of God
Speaker:
Matthew Arnold
Date:
Join Brother Arnold as he takes us to Ephesians 3 and 1 John 4 to explore the profound, unchanging nature of God's love. Discover how you can find your assurance and identity in God's finished work.
When Your Strength Does Not Match Your Struggle
Pastor J. S. Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 13 and shows us how God can use something small to make a big difference. Victory is not about you or what you have, but about your God and the miracles he can perform.
Our Failures Don't Cancel God's Faithfulness
Pastor J. S. Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 12 and reminds us not to mistake God's patience for his permission, but instead to run to God, confess our sins, and serve him in gratitude for what he has done for us.
Mountains and Mercy
Pastor Melvin draws from 1 Samuel 11, where Israel faces overwhelming, mountain-sized odds and the temptation to surrender in shame. Yet, God intervenes through unlikely means—raising up Saul and redeeming a troubled city—to bring deliverance and unity. Even when we feel surrounded and inadequate, God’s grace is already at work, turning our weakest moments into opportunities for hope and restoration.
Called from the Ordinary
Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 10, showing how God’s sovereignty interrupts the ordinary and calls even the unlikely—like Saul, hiding among the baggage—to extraordinary purpose. Join us to be reminded how God’s grace equips and transforms us, working through our weaknesses to fulfill His plans.
God Qualifies the Chosen
Sometimes when you are going through the motions of the ordinary, God leads you to the extraordinary. Pastor Melvin shows us this in Samuel 9, where we read the story of how Saul, in searching for his father's donkeys, finds Samuel the prophet.
King of Kings on His Throne
Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 8 and encourages us that even though we too often make poor decisions and often suffer consequences, God is still in control and in his kindness, mercy and love brings his will to pass.
Liberty in Jesus Christ
Speaker:
Matthew Arnold
Date:
Brother Matthew begins in Luke 4:13-22 and shows us how through Jesus' death upon the cross, he saved us from our fallen state, enslaved to sin, so that we are now free to glorify him and serve him.
Ebenezer
You may feel like you are in the spiritual doldrums today and that your enemies are always gathering, but in 1 Samuel 7, Pastor Melvin shows us that God is still thundering in the hospital room, when you lose your job, in your living room, and in all our distresses and we should mark these moments by raising a stone of remembrance, an Ebenezer, something that reminds us that we were there and so was God.
