What happens when we stop trusting God?
Drawing from 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21, this message shows how King David’s decision to take a census exposed the danger of self-reliance, the ripple effects of sin, but ultimately, the mercy that follows genuine repentance and sacrificial worship.

What causes rebellion to grow in the heart?
This message looks at the life of Absalom and shows how rebellion develops through indulgent parenting, suppressed anger, isolation, obsession with image, undermining authority, and the desire for control. Our prayer is that you will learn to recognize these patterns and choose instead the freedom and peace that come from walking in God’s ways.
What does it mean to walk in spiritual authority?
This message from lead Pastor John Lindell helps us discover how authority flows from submission to Jesus— with this spiritual authority we can bind and loose with the keys of the Kingdom to confront darkness, bring healing, and advance the gospel.

How do we find freedom from the weight of secret sin?

This message from 2 Samuel 11 shows how David’s fall with Bathsheba began with small cracks in character that grew into devastating consequences.

How does God’s kindness lift us from shame?
This message reminds us that God’s kindness goes beyond what makes sense—He extends mercy to the undeserving, grace to the broken, and love to those who can do nothing in return.

What is God's plan for my life?
In this message, Pastor John Lindell unpacks 2 Samuel 7 and the story of David’s desire to build a temple for God. We learn that sometimes God says “no” because He has a greater “yes” in store. Our prayer is that you would trust God’s perfect plan, respond with humility, and experience the joy that comes from living in His presence.
How do I show reverence for God’s presence?
In this message from Pastor John Lindell on 2 Samuel 6:1–23, we learn that holy awe—not casual familiarity—invites God’s blessing and joy, while irreverence breeds spiritual blindness and barrenness. Our prayer is that you’ll develop a worshipful heart that honors God’s ways above your own and experience His favor as you delight in His presence.

How do you follow God’s voice when stepping into something new?
In this message, Pastor David Lindell walks through 2 Samuel 2:1–11 to show how David’s transition into kingship offers a blueprint for succeeding in a new season.
