    based on 41 ratings

    God will build David a house. God is building us into his Royal household. But just as Solomon’s temple was built through the labours of many, so too, God uses us to build his church. Both are true at the same time. God builds, we labour and the Church gr

    Today being our AGM, I want us to think about what it is that we’re doing here as a church. Who do we see ourselves as? What do we think our job is as the people of God? What part does God play in what we’re doing and what part do we play. And we’re going to begin by looking at 2 Sam 7. As ch7 ...read more

    God’s ways are not our ways. God has plans for our lives that surprise us all.

     | 6,275 views

    When God tells us "no" to one of our requests, it does not mean He does not care for us, it usually means He has something else for us

    And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 2 Samuel ...read more

    Who's In Control?

    Contributed by Rhonda Feurtado on Jul 29, 2003
    based on 117 ratings
     | 23,846 views

    The text concerns David’s desire to build a temple "house" for God, and God’s response that God will build David’s house. We often try to control God, but God is in control, not us.

    Who’s in control? David has come a long way from being a shepherd boy in Bethlehem and the youngest of 8 sons to being the king of Israel, who reunited the northern and southern Kingdoms, established the capital at Jerusalem, and moved the ark of the covenant into the city. He ...read more

    The older I become the more interested I am in those who have gone before me. Before I join my ancestors out there, I’d like to know more about them.

    Extreme Makeover: Temple Edition

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jul 20, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,291 views

    The “Extreme Makeover: Temple Edition,” as David learned is not about sprucing up the building, it’s about building up the kingdom, God’s kingdom; we must be about the task of justice-bearing, of love-spreading, and of kingdom-building!

    Just one week into my seminary career, I found myself in the refectory (that’s the dining hall) one night with a group of five or six other first-year students. Though I hardly knew them at the time, these people became and remain some of my best friends. Since I really didn’t know them all that ...read more

    This Christmas season will you be thinking about the wonder of the immortal God taking on mortal flesh; the omnipotent God appearing in the form of a helpless vulnerable baby; the only begotten Son of God coming as one of us to take on himself the punish

    We hear the Christmas story every year. The same events; the same characters; the same location. We sing Christmas carols that retell the story over and over again.

    Ark, Anger, And Acceptance

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 20, 2010
     | 5,000 views

    We who are successful want instant gratification, but must know that God’s timing may be different, and that it is important to do something that enables others to succeed. In prayer we learn that we are accepted and so our efforts have meaning.

    Success brings with it its own set of problems. If you get used to being successful, you soon expect it, and then if it eludes you, that can be very hard to take. I know that I am speaking this morning to reasonably successful people, by and large. Most of you, when you face a challenge, are able ...read more

    God promise us His deliverance through our Lord and Saviour.

    Why Jesus? To understand Jesus and His mission, you must understand some of the basic foundations of the OT that prepare for Him. I would like to refer to just two of these. The first is the vision of Nathan (2 Sam 7, and 1 Chr 17). In it, King David, in following the tradition of the ANE, ...read more
