Whose Voice Has Your Ear?

11/29/2020

Today's message is from Adam Madden, the Executive Director of the Golden Spike Baptist Network.

There are a lot of voices saying a lot of different things today. Whose voice has your ear? Whose voice makes your heart beat faster? Whose voice has your allegiance? Is the Word of God sufficient for the household of God? The Apostle Paul addresses these questions in 1 Timothy. Our text today reminds us how we should conduct ourselves as the pillar and support of the truth.

Jonathan's Love for David

11/22/2020

When we talk about loving relationships, we usually talk in terms of husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, parents and children. How often do you hear one man tell another (unrelated) man that he loves him? Men expressing non-erotic love for other men is somewhat rare in today’s world, at least in this country. As we begin chapter 18, the inspired writer calls attention to a unique love between two men, David and Jonathan. More than casual friendship, these men’s souls were knit together in a way that reveals God’s heart for meaningful same sex relationships.

How to Defeat a Giant - Part 2

11/15/2020

What do you do when your faith seems too weak to fight the giants harassing you? Today, we conclude the story of David and Goliath by focusing on the actual confrontation. David's convictions, collaboration, and preparation were only part of the battle plan. Eventually, he had to confront his Goliath, as must we. Sooner or later, our convictions, collaboration, and preparation must be applied to the situation threatening our peace. The battle engages - the struggling ensues - the fighting begins. We pick up the action in 1 Samuel 17:38

How to Defeat a Giant

11/8/2020

The story of David and Goliath not only validates the genuine crises of life but also the goodness of God in giving us victory. As stated last week, there can be no good news without bad news. What makes the second half of this chapter so inspiring is the first half. But the first half of the story is not the final word. We come now to the second part - the good news and the person through whom God gave victory.

The Struggle is Real

11/1/2020

The story of David and Goliath is one of the most popular stories in the Bible. It so well-known that even those unfamiliar with the Bible use the phrase when referring to a team, company or person who doesn’t stand a chance against another team, company or person. We enjoy David and Goliath stories because the "outnumbered-no chance to win at all" guy or gal overcomes all odds and miraculously triumphs in the end. What makes the story of David and Goliath so inspirational is that, among other things, the opponent is a really, really bad and powerful. In today's message, we learn that in order to appreciate Christ's power we must measure him against life's strongest threats, not its weakest.

1 Samuel 17:1-24
