The Fall and Rise of the House of David: The God-Drenched Life

We've seen both regret and grief in David's life; today's text addresses the opposite of regret i.e., satisfaction. How to look forward to looking back – how to cultivate future satisfaction? Let's look at three themes:1) Trouble2) Self3) God

The Fall and Rise of the House of David: Return of the King

...it's the return of the King! it's a moment to celebrate victory. And, for US, a parallel: it reminds us and informs us of something very important to the Christian and that is the impending return of thĒ King and how to live in this interim period… when the king seems to be away.
Today, something a little different: I want to isolate two features in this decisive and dangerous moment of tragic victory. And I want to show how these two features mirror our own experience of living, while anticipating the return of a King. 1) Lost In Love 2) Rebels' Response

The Fall and Rise of the House of David: Absalom, Absalom

A few weeks ago we looked at regret. Today we look at a subset of regret, namely GRIEF, our emotional response to loss and death.
How does the basic truth of Christianity, the Gospel, inspire a different approach to grief? Let's look at:1) A Context FOR Grief2) A Concentration ON Grief3) A Confidence IN Grief

The Fall and Rise of the House of David: The Retreat

Today we look at the arena or workshop where God often performs His divine alchemy and changes the lead of our failings into the gold of Christ-likeness. That workshop is the WILDERNESS. David is in retreat and along with many of his supporters, he's fleeing from Absalom into a place where no one cares to go – a place of pain and deprivation…where the believer sees his or her desperate need for God.
Today, the believer in Jesus Christ and the "wilderness experience": 1) How'd it happened for David?2) How it happens for us and what to do about it.

The Fall and Rise of the House of David: A Proud Father (and a Failed Homecoming)

So, today, we look into this deeply troubled family and see in them some of the dynamics that continue to plague broken families (and ALL families are somewhat broken). Modern families, here in South Florida, still face issues of parent-child hostility, poor communication, sexual sin, distance, tension, coldness in relationships and lack of forgiveness, warmth and affection. These stories are relevant!
What, are the resources found in the basic idea behind Christianity – what do we find in the Gospel that we can draw upon to help us – to save us – from these issues that are so destructive? Is the message of Jesus and His great achievement… is there help in it for US and for people struggling with family brokenness?
Let's look at:1. A Homecoming Contrived 2. A Homecoming Complete 3. A Homecoming Current (Complex, Complicated)

Domestic Disburbance

Today: the Gospel and the desire to see people pay for their crimes: 1) Anger in a Vacuum 2) Apathy and Vigilantism 3) Assurance of Ultimate Vengeance

The God who is worthy of praise

If you're a Christian, you may know that the Bible tells us that He is, but as you look at the distractions or discouragements in your life you may be asking the question: Why is God worthy of praise? Listen in as Director of Park Road Youth Ministry, Jonathan Lacy, dives into what Psalm 145 has to say about this very question. 

Persevering Praise

Pastor Phil continues our mini series on praise by taking a deeper look into the book of Jude. This week, Phil discusses the following two considerations:
1. Praise in a perilous life
2. Praise in an Eternal Life

Breathing Praise

Listen in to Pastor Phil Letizia dive into Psalm 150 and discuss the topic of praise. He addresses questions of the point of praise, the outcome of praise, and God's view of our praise. Does God need us to praise him? Listen in!
