Dr. Daniel Ragusa speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Ragusa, focuses on the dark period of Israel's exile and how it illuminates the deep human longing to return to God's presence, which had been lost due to their rebellion. Dr. Ragusa first establishes the devastating nature of exile by contrasting it with the desired state of dwelling in God's house, a theme illustrated by the pilgrimage described in Psalm 23. He references the Heidelberg Catechism to frame the Christian experience as moving from the "valley of exile" (sin and misery) up to the "mountain of God" (righteousness and everlasting life) through the work of the "mountain ascending mediator," Jesus Christ. Crucially, even in the midst of the exile's darkness, God's hope continues to shine through the prophets, promising restoration, which is ultimately fulfilled in the gospel and glory of Jesus Christ.

Waiting on God Is Not WastedIn this deeply honest and encouraging message, Brooke Tally explores what it means to wait on God with purpose. Drawing from Psalms and her personal story of loss, Brooke unpacks the Hebrew word kava — a rich and active form of waiting that also means hope. Through the life of King David and the Israelites in slavery, we're reminded that crying out to God is not a sign of weakness but of relationship. Waiting seasons often reveal what needs healing in us and how God is fathering us in unseen ways. If you're in a season of uncertainty, longing, or pain — this message will help you trust that God is not silent and He is always on the move.Speaker:Brooke Talley
Jesus deals with His disciples with respect to children, and church discipline in Matthew 18 verses 10-20.Dr. Mitchell discusses the biblical basis for babies going to heaven. He cites 2Sam.12:22-23 concerning King David's baby that died. This truth is relevant to many in our day who have also lost a baby. Do you know someone who would be encouraged by this truth?Next, Dr. Mitchell examines verse 15-20 concerning governmental authority for the preservation of the testimony of the church to the glory of God. This is the second time our Lord speaks of the church in the book of Matthew. It concerns steps for confronting a sinning believer. Dr. Mitchell speaks about love at the expense of truth. Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness but rejoices with the truth.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 18:10.

Why is the world obsessively fixated on a tiny nation in the Middle East, and what does it mean for Christian parents raising the next generation? In this riveting episode, Catherine asks one of the most urgent questions of our time: What is happening in Israel—and how does it connect to ancient prophecy and our daily parenting? To help answer, she welcomes acclaimed author, filmmaker, and Christian apologist Dinesh D'Souza, whose new documentary, The Dragon’s Prophecy, is based on Jonathan Cahn’s bestselling book and brings biblical prophecy and current events to vivid life. Dinesh D'Souza, whose career spans best-selling novels, blockbuster documentaries, and service in the Reagan White House, brings unparalleled insight to the intersection of faith, history, and politics. In this episode, he unpacks why Israel sits at the center of an ancient spiritual war, why Revelation 12 holds the key to understanding headlines today, and how the battle between good and evil is not just on distant soil—but in every soul. Key highlights include: The chilling reality of October 7, 2023, and never-before-seen footage that reveals the spiritual darkness behind terrorist acts. The core message of The Dragon’s Prophecy: Evil is real, embodied in the biblical “dragon”—and parents must recognize the spiritual war behind the chaos. How ancient battles between Israelites and Philistines eerily parallel today’s conflict, and why biblical prophecy continues to unfold before our eyes. The power of biblical archaeology in verifying the historical accuracy of Scripture—from Pontius Pilate’s existence to the discovery of King David’s palace—arming parents and skeptics alike with facts to defend their faith. Tough questions about modern Israel, replacement theology, and the promises God made to Abraham’s descendants, with thoughtful discussion on both biblical and political identity. Notable moment: “There is a world behind the world and...the events we see are incomplete if we don’t understand them as part of a cosmic struggle between good and evil.” –Dinesh D'Souza As Christian parents, we’re called not just to read the news, but to “discern the moment” (1 Chronicles 12:32)—guiding our children with faith, courage, and wisdom in a time of spiritual war. Don’t miss this eye-opening episode—and consider: How will you prepare your kids not just to survive, but to lead in the times to come?

In this message from our series Songs of the Shepherd King, Pastor Chris Seay explores how King David's greatest strength—his big heart—was also what led to his greatest breaking. Drawing from Psalm 51, this sermon invites us to see how our own strengths, left unchecked, can become our undoing, and how God's grace can restore us to rhythm again. From David's story of failure and repentance to our modern rhythms of distraction and striving, this message calls us back to stillness, humility, and grace that outlasts our failures.

This week we had the privilege of hearing from Dr. Barrett Duke one last time before his retirement. Using Psalm 2, he paralleled events of today with those in the day of King David. What is the cause of the chaos we see and what is the believer's response? Dr. Duke answered those questions and gave us practical things we can do to remain faithful and impact our community.
This sermon examines the tragic final act of King David's story in 2nd Samuel 24, where his pride leads him to command a military census against the counsel of his commander, Joab. David's decision to "know the number of the people" reflects a deep-seated spiritual failure—replacing trust in God's power with confidence in his own military and generational dominance. This desire for "more, more, more" is presented as a universal temptation, echoing the warnings God gave about kingship and C.S. Lewis's analysis of pride as the ultimate anti-God state of mind. The message contrasts David's eventual confession and repentance with the contentment taught by the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4, ultimately challenging listeners to identify and confess the pride, ego, and selfish ambition holding ground in their own lives, and to choose the path of humility and trust in God's will instead.
Wise Up! Part 3: "Sharp Wisdom" by Louie Marsh, 10-2-2025 blical wisdom shown in a little know story about a wise woman in a difficult situation. S - SEIZE the Initiative "16Then a wise woman called from the city, "Listen! Listen! Tell Joab, 'Come here, that I may speak to you.' "" (2 Samuel 20:16, ESV) "7a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" (Ecclesiastes 3:7, ESV) 1) 2 extremes to avoid - speaking too soon - brashly shooting your mouth off 2) being to passive never saying anything! H - HAVE a Respectful Attitude "17And he came near her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he answered, "I am listening."" (2 Samuel 20:17, ESV) "17Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor." (1 Peter 2:17, ESV) 1) There is a time to be blunt, but it's usually NOT when I want too! 2) The more I want to let someone have it - the less likely it is that that's the wise choice! A - APPRECIATE the Consequences "18Then she said, "They used to say in former times, 'Let them but ask counsel at Abel,' and so they settled a matter. 19I am one of those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the heritage of the Lord?"" (2 Samuel 20:18–19, ESV) "7Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith." (Hebrews 13:7, ESV) "17For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?" (1 Peter 4:17, ESV) 1) Remember the Law of Unintended Consequences! R - RECOGNIZE the Real Issue "21That is not true. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, called Sheba the son of Bichri, has lifted up his hand against King David. Give up him alone, and I will withdraw from the city." And the woman said to Joab, "Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall."" (2 Samuel 20:21, ESV) "21And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." 22Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions." (Mark 10:21–22, ESV) P - PRODUCE what's Needed "22Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, every man to his home. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king." (2 Samuel 20:22, ESV) "5Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way. 6For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble lies heavy on him." (Ecclesiastes 8:5–6, ESV) S.H.A.R.P. towards PROBLEMS, relationships, children, etc. S.H.A.R.P. towards GOD S - God has already taken the initiative - you must now seize the moment and respond! H - Have a respectful attitude - that's repentance for our sins! A - Look at the consequences - both good and bad! R - Recognize the real issue - It's not politics, evolution, or a hundred other things - it's our standing before God and our eternal destiny! P - Produce what's needed - by giving your life to Jesus Christ!!
Are you feeling on top of life right now or do you feel life is on top of you? Are you tired of being tired? The subject of ‘How to be strong when you are weak' is very relevant to every one of us. So many people look like they are strong and on top of life, but the truth is that they are struggling to find the energy to just keep going in life. So how can you cope and conquer when you experience times when you may feel physically, emotionally, mentally and even spiritually fatigued; when you feel you have little or nothing more to give? Well, as always, the Bible has answers for us. There are many references to weariness in the Bible (1 Samuel 30:10; Galatians 6:9; Matthew 11:28-30 NIV and MSG). In Isaiah 40:28-31, the prophet Isaiah shows us how to overcome weariness, saying: “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” We see some key points from these verses: 1. We all need strength (Psalm 31:9-10; 1 Corinthians 2:3; 2 Corinthians 11:27-28; 2 Corinthians 1:8-9) 2. God can give us the strength we all need (Isaiah 40:26-31; Psalms 28:7, 46:1, 59:16-17, 73:26, 118:14; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; Philippians 4:13). 3. God can give us Strength for new conquests (Isaiah 40:31b; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Ephesians 4:1; 1 John 1:7) Apply 1. We all need strength. As human beings who have a body, a soul and spirit, which means we need physical strength, emotional or mental strength and spiritual strength. But the fact is that everyone at different times lack strength. Here says “even youths”! Can you imagine if even those who should have the most strength because they are young feel tired, how much more tired and weary must everyone else be? Everyone can experience weakness. Even the great king David, winner of many battles, who defeated the giant Goliath, often felt cornered and about to be destroyed by his enemies. Often in the Psalms he reveals his sense of vulnerability (Psalm 31:9-10). The great apostle Paul wrote of his many weaknesses, despair, and challenges (1 Corinthians 2:3; 2 Corinthians 11:27-28; 2 Corinthians 1:8-9). If spiritual giants like King David and the apostle Paul experienced weakness, we should not be surprised when we also may face struggles in our personal lives or health, with our families, at work, in your career or finances, perhaps even in our romantic relationships. Maybe right now you feel yourself becoming weary, tired, and weak maybe you feel exhausted or perhaps overwhelmed. Remember younger as well as older can feel this way which is why you need to learn what the Bible teaches here. 2. God can give us the strength we all need (Isaiah 40:28-31). Last week, from earlier verses in this same chapter, we learnt about the awesomeness of God, the Holy One who is greater than all nations and idols, the creator of the heavens and all the earth, of the constellations and all the stars to which He has given names (Isaiah 40:26). Our God has no equal; He cannot be compared to anyone. The Lord is the everlasting God. You need to understand who God is and that He will never grow tired or weary. Because of who He is, He is more than able to help you when you are weary. When you put your trust and hope in the Lord you will have a strength transfusion. Your weakness, your weariness is not a problem to God. You just have to connect with His strength. You need to stop trying to fight your own way out of every situation. You need to start relying on God. As Jesus directed, you need to come to Him in your weariness and get yoked to Him. This is what men and women of God throughout the Bible and church history have learned, including king David and the apostle Paul. Scripture speaks of singing about God's strength and steadfast love, acknowledging Him as a fortress and refuge, and being able to do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Psalms 28:7, 46:1, 59:16-17, 73:26, 118:14; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; Philippians 4:13). We too daily need to learn this secret that the Lord is the source of our strength and also, we need to see how many possibilities there are when we receive His strength. 3. God can give us Strength for new conquests (Isaiah 40:31b). Soaring like eagles speaks of rising to a higher level. Eagles look down from a high position and a different perspective. You too can rise above your problems, your anxieties, or weaknesses. With God you can go higher in life than you ever imagined. Today God is giving you this promise: that when you rely on His strength “you will soar on wings like eagles.” You can also run without stopping. The prophet Isaiah says “they will run and not grow weary.” Running speaks of speed and acceleration. God can help you not just to start running the race as a Christian but to keep running all through your life. The Lord can lift the weight of our sins and anything that hinders us from running successfully toward the eternal reward. And you can walk without fainting. Walking speaks of consistent and steady progress. The Bible tells us about Enoch who walked faithfully with God for 300 years through every season and circumstance. The Bible says a lot about how we should walk as Christians. We must "walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7), "walk in a manner worthy of the calling" (Ephesians 4:1), and "walk in the light, as he is in the light" (1 John 1:7). Other verses encourage us to walk with wisdom, walk humbly, and walk in love. Our walk to heaven may take many years like Nelson Mandela's "Long walk to freedom." But we can keep on walking, even if sometimes we feel tired, when we look to the Lord for strength. Today no matter how tired or weary you may feel take time to come to the Lord for your strength and to rest secure in all His plans and promises. For when you do you too will find that He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. You too ‘will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.'

This Family Sunday, Pastor Steve Henry pauses our Gospel of John series to focus on a powerful truth: Nothing can happen to you that doesn't first pass the counsel of God. Through the stories of Job, Joseph, and King David, we're reminded that even in seasons of suffering, betrayal, and uncertainty, God's sovereign hand is still at work. His wisdom is higher, His plan is greater, and His love is unchanging. In this message, we learn three important responses when life doesn't make sense: 1️⃣ Choose to worship God—especially when you don't understand. 2️⃣ Believe there is something bigger underway. 3️⃣ Be patient and faithful as God's plan unfolds. Join us as we find rest in the same truth that comforted the saints before us: God's sovereignty is the pillow upon which we lay our heads.

Even when we mess up, God isn't done with us. In this episode of Talk'N Truth, Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy), Pastor Bryan Clark, and comedian Reno Collier dive deep into 2 Samuel 14—the story of King David's paralyzed leadership, his silence after failure, and the grace that calls us back into the game. David went from a fearless giant-killer to a hesitant, broken man afraid to act. But God wasn't finished with him—and He isn't finished with you either. The crew discusses what it looks like to feel “stuck on the B team,” how guilt and shame can hold believers back, and why God's grace is a recall notice for every follower of Jesus to get back on the field. They also unpack how Peter's restoration after denying Christ shows that repentance isn't the end—it's the beginning of purpose renewed. Whether you're weighed down by regret, battling spiritual fatigue, or longing for a comeback in your faith, this real-talk conversation reminds you: sin doesn't disqualify you. God's grace requalifies you.

What does it truly mean to have a King? In Week 4 of our Timeline message series, Pastor Dave Mudd dives deep into the heart of the Davidic Covenant from 2 Samuel 7. This message, focused on the theme of Allegiance and Kingship, challenges us to ask: Is Jesus merely your Savior, or is He the Lord and King of your life?Discover how King David's glorious but broken story ultimately points to the true and better King, Jesus. Learn how we are called to fully detach our worldly allegiance and experience the restoration that comes from having Jesus on the Eternal Throne of our lives. Find out how you can commit to Christian Service by reflecting His grace as you live as a "temporary resident" in this world.Key Takeaways to Help You Live for the King:- Understand the Davidic Covenant: Trace the gospel from creation to David, recognizing the eternal promise God made to restore humanity through one of David's descendants (Jesus).- Determine Your Allegiance: Examine your heart and actions to ensure your ultimate loyalty is to Jesus, not to worldly desires, goods, or lies, and learn to live as a "foreigner" on mission.- Embrace Your Need for Grace: Understand that David's failures demonstrate that human perfection cannot fulfill God's promises; your brokenness points you back to your need for the true King's grace.- Reflect the True King Through Service: Discover your role as a "shepherd in your generation"—to lead, serve, and worship with a humble heart, reflecting the King's character in your daily life and in unity with the church.- Move Beyond 'Savior' to 'King': Stop settling for Jesus as only "fire insurance," and invite Him to be the Lord and King over your entire mental, emotional, and relational existence, transforming you completely.
There’s a poignant scene near the end of Frederick Buechner’s novel Brendan. The character Gildas stands up to reveal one of his legs missing from the knee down. As he reaches for his walking stick, he loses his balance. Brendan leaps up and catches him. “I’m as crippled as the dark world,” Gildas says. “If it comes to that, which one of us isn’t?” Brendan replies. “To lend each other a hand when we’re falling. Perhaps that’s the only work that matters in the end.” In 2 Samuel 9, we find King David desiring to show kindness to anyone still living from the house of Saul (v. 1). There is one, Mephibosheth, “a son of Jonathan; lame in both feet” (v. 3). Mephibosheth is ushered into the king’s presence where he hears these words: “I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table” (v. 7). And he always did. Scripture is full of unforgettable stories of David and giants and armies and kings and kingdoms—the stuff of movies. But the Bible also remembers this poignant kindness shown toward a person in need—the story of someone lending a hand to another. After all the big, flashy scenes fade, it’s possible that kindness such as David extended to Mephibosheth is the work that matters most in the end. Lending a hand is the kind of work you and I can be about each and every day.

This is a good news story. King David made a place for an undeserving outcast named Mephibosheth at his family's royal table, and the table covered his brokenness - a foreshadowing of the invitation for every one of us to be seated at table of the Most High even though we don't deserve it. ---------SUBSCRIBE ▶️ Receive our latest videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/PastorSteve...ABOUTPastor, author and speaker Steve Berger is known for his straight talk in dealing with various hot-topic cultural issues that many pastors avoid.
