Have you ever seen the movie Little Giants? Two teams, one really good, one not so good facing off. Their coach reminds them that they might lose 99 out of 100 games, but that still leaves, one time. Or maybe you can a ton of one-hit wonders.In this message, Pastor Kevin will walk us through 1 Samuel chapter 11 and remind us that, we don’t want one great moment with God followed by no more, we want a lifetime of moments.

The dreaded four words... "We need to talk." That statement almost never ends with something good. That statement can lead to break ups, getting fired from a job, but it can also lead to a conversation about your potential.In this message, we’re exploring what happens when God says, “We need to talk.” Through Israel’s story, we’re challenged to remember God’s faithfulness, face our stubbornness, and consider whether we’re truly following His direction or just asking Him to bless our own plans.

Decisions, decisions, decisions! We have some small daily decisions...What clothes to wear, what shoes go with this outfit, what do you want to eat? Some bigger questions... Who should I marry, where should I work, what college do I want to get into. And then we have other decisions to make... will I listen when God speaks? Will I trust him? Will I respond?In this message, we will take a look at where Saul is in his journey to the throne, we're going to see that God is at work in his life, but Saul still has choices to make and so do we.

What if we told you life is like the movies. There are things happening in the background of your story that you can't see yet. Sometimes things that don't make sense are actually God working behind the scenes.In this message, Pastor Kevin will continue walking through 1 Samuel and help us discover that some things are not a coincidence.

Have you ever wanted a pet growing up? Maybe it was a dog, a cat, or even a lizard but your parents ended up being the one taking care of it.  Sometimes we want things, we ask for things, we justify things, that we're not ready for. Other times, it's things that are not good for us.In this message, Pastor Kevin walks us through 1 Samuel 8, learning about the Israelites asking for a king.

We sometimes find ourselves living in our own little world where we are untouchable, the hero or the winner. It seeps into our relationships too.  There are times it gets into our relationship with God. We feel like he owes us or like He works for us.In this message, Pastor Kevin walks us through the story of the battle of the Israelites and the Philistines in 1 Samuel 4.

What singer’s voice do you love to hear? You know, the voice that can instantly change your mood.Have you ever wished that you could hear God’s voice? In this message, Pastor Kevin will walk us through 1 Samuel 3 to show us that God is still speaking.

This is a start of a series that will take us through the book of 1 Samuel. We're going to meet kings and prophets, watch people succeed and fail, we're going to see battles, giants, jealousy, friendship, leadership, disappointment and faith. We will most certainly discover the answer to does God care about us.

For some of us, prayer is new; learning how to pray. For others of us, we've been praying for years. But wherever you are, I think we all need the same encouragement: Keep going. Keep praying.

How are you praying? When you pray, are your prayers calm, generic, safe prayers?In this message,  Pastor Kevin encourages and challenges us to not stay there. As we are growing in prayer we want to pray big and bold prayers as we lean into our relationship with God.
