Are You Troubled or a Troubler? 1 Kings 18:1–21
When the truth of God confronts us, it always demands a response. We will either be troubled by it or transformed by it. In 1 Kings 18, Ahab blames Elijah for Israel’s suffering, yet the real problem is his own rebellion against God.
This sermon calls you to examine your heart and choose: will you resist the truth, or will you stand firmly on it, even when it costs you?
Hope Secured, Psalm 16
Pastor Ben Smith preaches expositionally from Psalm 16 on how the power, providence, and salvation of God give hope to Christians in the present and for eternity.
Psalm 16 is a Psalm of David. God would make a way for David to be king, but there would be a long period where he was a fugitive on the run from an enraged and unhinged monarch. Psalm 16 may have been written during this chaotic period of David's life.
On the run, hunted, and under constant threat, David finds real and lasting peace and security in the power, providence, and faithfulness of God.
Everyone is looking for peace and security, but how do you find real and lasting peace and security? How can you find unshakable hope and peace in a world filled with so much trouble? Psalm 16 declares the sureness, goodness, and faithfulness of God and encourages the church to know the sure hope of God, in God's refuge, providence, and eternal salvation.
