Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 20 and shows us that sometimes we feel, like David, that we have tried to do everything right, but everything is still falling apart. What we find is that sometimes God allows change in our lives, not because we are wrong but because we are ready. Trials are not necessarily corrective; God uses them to prepare us.

Christmas is over, and New Years is not yet here. This is the Sunday in between what happened this year and what is coming next. Turn in your Bibles to 1 Samuel 7, and follow along with Pastor Melvin as he shows us how the children of Israel had unfortunately become complacent in their worship. As we look back on 2025 and ahead to 2026, we should see how God was with us, and we should build stones of remembrance to remind us.

Pastor J. S. Melvin takes us to the Gospel of John to expound upon the best news ever.

Turn in your Bibles to the Gospel of Luke 1 where we learn through the stories of Elizabeth, Ruth, Hannah and others leading up to Mary, how God uses improbable people to bring about the impossible through his mighty power!

Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 19, and shows us that nothing in your life can undo God's Plan, even when the king conspires against you.

Pastor J. S. Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel Chapter 18 and shows us how walking into God's plans sometimes puts you in the path of someone else's jealousy, but when you are walking in God's calling, there is something about you that others will see and be drawn to.

Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 17 and shows us how God is Lord of our valleys in the familiar story of David and Goliath.

Pastor J. S. Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 16 and shows us that God sees you when others overlook you, God is shaping you in this current season, God's timing is never rushed, and God uses worship to restore you.

Brother Matthew takes us to Psalm 20:1-9 and Joshua 20 and shows us how the six cities of refuge are a picture of the names of Jesus and the attributes of our Lord and they point to our ultimate high priest, the King of Righteousness, the King of Peace.

Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 15 where we read about Saul taking King Agag alive instead of doing all that God had told him to. Partial obedience is willful disobedience dressed up in religious clothing. Incomplete obedience can leave something alive that will come back and destroy us later. We should obey our Lord, not in order to gain his love, but because he already loves us.
