This is more than a story of rebellion and rules—it's a portrait of a Father who runs, restores, and reclaims. Both sons were lost in different ways, but grace found them the same. Come home, not for what He gives, but for who He is.

Acts 14:1-28; Psalm 65:8-13

We often think following God should be easy, but He frequently calls us to places, positions, and expressions of faith that can lead to conflict. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses this fact by offering five lessons we can learn from the life of King David. Many times, following God's direction can lead to division or spiritual conflict, but when we are diligent to keep following God's plans for our lives, He will always provide what we need. Every season comes with struggles, and as we continually learn about God and His Kingdom, we become better equipped to overcome hardships and rejection. Cooperating with God for His purposes is the greatest opportunity we've been given, so let's listen and obey Him—even when it leads to adversity.

Scripture Reading and Interpretation (Psalm 42) Reading of Psalm 42, focusing on the soul's thirst for God and the experience of being taunted by others questioning God's presence. "As the heart panteth after the water brook, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." Recalling past experiences and pouring out one's soul. Acknowledging feelings of being cast down and disquieted, but encouraged to hope in God. Remembering God from the land of Jordan and the hill of Bazaar. Acknowledging the depth calling unto depth amidst life's overwhelming challenges. Trusting in God's loving-kindness and song, even in the darkest nights. Questioning God in times of oppression but ultimately finding hope and praise in Him. Prayer and Invocation Seeking God's unction and will, asking for divine guidance in speaking and delivering the message. Expressing gratitude for the day, the place, and the people present. Personal Testimony and Reflection Reflecting on past hard times and tears, now seen as a source of nourishment and strength. Hardships and difficult situations were challenging at the time. Looking back, one can see God's faithfulness. Sharing personal experiences of bondage and torment before finding salvation in Jesus Christ on September 28, 2014. Experiencing torment and not even realizing it. Jesus Christ was sent to die for an unworthy soul. The importance of returning to the "old altar" where tears were shed, symbolizing a return to the foundational experience of faith. The enemy tries to undermine faith and make one feel inadequate. Recalling past experiences of God's faithfulness to combat doubt. Recalling a Monday night when feeling defeated and questioning the call to preach. Questioning salvation and feeling overwhelmed. Hearing a message from the pulpit about God finishing the good work He started. Experiencing multiple messages reinforcing this theme, leading to a powerful prayer experience. Finding strength and sustenance in past tears and struggles, using them as a reminder of God's faithfulness when facing current doubts. The tears cried on that Monday night now provide sustenance. Using past experiences to combat doubts about salvation. God's Faithfulness and Provision Reflecting on God's goodness to oneself, family, and church, urging others to recognize God's faithfulness in their own lives. Acknowledging seasons of hardship but emphasizing God's promise and faithfulness to His people. Enduring hardships and trials. God is not slack concerning His promises. Sharing anecdotes of Valerie and Kinsey as examples of God's faithfulness in their lives. Valerie's story of questioning God but later recognizing His faithfulness. Kinsey's healing and recovery, providing encouragement for future trials. Recognizing that personal shortcomings are the only barriers to God's faithfulness. God never lets anyone down. The only way God's faithfulness fails is if we let Him down. The Story of Joseph Referring to the story of Joseph in Genesis 37 as an example of enduring hardship and God's ultimate plan. Joseph's brothers were jealous and sold him into slavery. Asking where God was in that situation. Highlighting Joseph's journey through slavery, imprisonment, and eventual rise to power in Egypt. Joseph was sold into slavery and ended up in Potiphar's house. He was falsely accused by Potiphar's wife and imprisoned. Reflecting on Joseph's potential feelings of abandonment and questioning God's plan during his trials. Wondering why God was allowing these things to happen. Recognizing the difference between oneself and men of God who trust in God's faithfulness. Emphasizing that Joseph's hardships were necessary for him to be in a position to save his family from famine. Joseph interpreted the dreams of the butler and baker in pr...

The German Girl and the American Soldier: Lee's Story of War, Family, and Finding Home | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description: What happens when a little girl grows up under the shadow of war—and later crosses continents to start over with an American soldier? In this deeply moving episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Lee, whose life began in Nazi Germany, shaped by wartime uncertainty, personal loss, and a mother's unshakable resilience. Lee shares powerful reflections of her childhood during World War II, her family's escape to Switzerland, and the extraordinary journey that led her to love, motherhood, and a life between two very different worlds. From narrowly escaping air raids to navigating culture shock in post-war America, Lee's memories are filled with grace, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. This episode is a rare opportunity to hear a first-hand account of history—not from the headlines, but from the heart.

McKay explores how our most difficult experiences and perceived flaws can become our greatest strengths in this week's thought provoking instalment. Throughout the episode, he challenges us to reframe our past, not as a source of shame, but as the very foundation of who we are today.Drawing upon the powerful and moving life stories of actress Viola Davis, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, and others, McKay illustrates how adversity can be the unlikely source of our greatest achievements. He delves deeply into how childhood trauma, failure, and hardship, rather than breaking them, provided the unique perspective, empathy, and resilience necessary for their success. Tune in today and accept our host's sincere invitation to view your own struggles not as liabilities, but as the very experiences that can forge character and lead to a remarkable future.Main Themes:Past pain can shape you, not just define you.Owning your full story is the key to self-love.Adversity builds resilience, empathy, and strength.Reframe your story from "ruined me" to "shaped me."Self-forgiveness is a powerful act of release.Hardships can be a launchpad to your purpose.Imperfections can help you go farther, not hold you back.Success is not a straight line; it's forged in struggle.Find meaning in suffering to transform it.Become the author of your own story.Top 10 Quotes:"To love who you are, you must not hate the experiences that shaped you.""I'm not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.""Deny your story, it defines you. Own it, and you write the ending.""Every painful memory...served as a leap pad that has shaped me.""When we're no longer able to change a situation, we're challenged to change ourselves.""It's the hard things that give us the strength we need later in life.""Our paths are rarely straight; great things happen amid struggles.""The worst thing that happened to her gave her the ability to do the best thing.""When you fall off life's ship, there is a line waiting to be grabbed.""The goal is not to be someone in spite of what happened, but someone because of it."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

As Christ followers what are some ways we can assure we draw close to God in times of hardships?So, the Sunday's text about the birth of Jacob's twelve sons, begs the question of polygamy. God seems to have allowed it and used it for His purposes in this case. So why do we forbid it now?As a reminder we have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

So why do Christians experience hardships?...

Navigating the complex landscape of spiritual warfare requires wisdom, discernment, and a solid foundation in Christ. Every believer faces it, but few know how to recognize when something is a spiritual attack versus life's natural hardships or God's refining work.We unpack the critical differences between spiritual warfare and other forms of struggle. Spiritual warfare often reveals itself through repetitive cycles of things going wrong, sudden intense discouragement, disruptions before ministry opportunities, or opposition that feels disproportionate to the situation. Yet not everything difficult is an attack—sometimes God allows hardship to deepen our faith, build character, or display His glory through our faithfulness, as seen in Job's story.Whether facing spiritual warfare, life's hardships, or God's refining process, our response remains consistent: sit in your identity, walk in obedience, and stand in truth. We're praying for you to have the discernment to recognize what you're facing and the peace to respond with confidence in Christ's victory.
