2 Samuel 11 - Flesh, Blood, and Fidelity
This is the famous narrative of David adultery with Bathsheba and murder of Uriah her husband. In the preceding 2 chapters David had delt with those inside Israel (Mephibosheth) and those outside Israel (Hanan) with covenant Kindness and loyalty. One would see David's leadership as one where fidelity was the driving value of his kingdom administration if it were not for Chapter 11. In this chapter David show his divided loyalties between his own desires and his loyalty to God. Fidelity to God in David's life only went so far it seems. You can learn much about your fidelity to Christ from understanding where you compartmentalize your life to keep Christ's Lordship from intruding too closely. We also see ways of growing in our fidelity to Christ's Lordship including 1) Don't slack off prusing God through his Word, 2) Don't prusue earthly success to control circumstances, 3) Don't prusue safety in life apart from following Christ, and 4) Don't think you will grow without a heart that is absolutely surrendered to Christ's Lordship. This narrative should teach all believers that they can fall into sin just as easily as David did if we don't prusue fidelity with God in all things regardless of the cost. Listening to this sermon will help you see the importance of fidelity as you follow Christ as His disciple.

The Beginning from the End
On our first official Sunday morning worship service, Adam preaches Matt. 28:16-20. Christ presents His authority over all the earth and His plan for the Church to make disciples from every people group in the world. He demands that people follow Him as His disciples, and then those believers must intentionally go to make other obedient disciples.

The Greatest of All (Mark 9:33-50)
Because Christ is lord over all things, following Christ requires change in every area of our lives. In particular, we see in this passage that Christ's lordship changes how we think of ourselves, how we think of and serve one another, and how we battle sin. And because of his sacrifice and the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to grow in living out these changed lives.

Finding Hope When You Need It
Our world seems many times to be without hope. Yet God is the Jehovah-Shammah - God is Always There! Our hope is the result of our relationship with God. Our hope in God expands our horizons. In the midst of brokeness, we lose sight of the bright future God has for us. The hope of God is attained as we accept the Lordship of Jesus. As we journey deeper into a holy lifestyle be living every aspect of life under the Lordship of Jesus, we will enloy a greater hope.

His Name Shall Be Called Jesus (Luke 1:26-38)
We consider the miracle and mystery of God become flesh, the birth of the very Son of God in an insignificant town through a series of amazing miracles. Jesus is the son of David whose rule will be forever. All things are under his rule and authority -- we must live under his rule and authority here and now.
