Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins Scripture Text: Hebrews 11:32-34, 2 Samuel 11:1-12:14 Flawed: The Heroes of the Faith David: A Flawed Hero of the Faith Hebrews 11:32-34, 2 Samuel 11:1-12:14 Yet, despite his sin and failure, we shall also see God’s grace at work in David’s life. I want you to see that you are a worse sinner than you ever dared imagine. No Christian should ever think that because he is a Christian, he is now immune to moral failure and sin. You are more loved than you ever dared

Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins Scripture Text: Hebrews 11:11 Flawed: The Heroes of the Faith Sarah: A Flawed Heroine of the Faith Hebrews 11:11 We decide that we will take over and do something because we are impatient with God’s timing. Can you imagine how encouraging this must have been to Abram and Sarai? They were both getting old But, for Sarai, the disappointment was crushing. Bearing children was the most significant thing a woman did. She decided that she would give her Egyptian serva

True Bible faith is confident obedience to God’s Word in spite of circumstances and consequences. Yes, Abraham did live in “the land of promise” but that was just a shadow of the future Promised Land that awaited him and all who believe in the promise of God

Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins Scripture Text: Proverbs 30:7-9 The Prayer of Agur Living In The Sweet Spot Proverbs 30:7-9 But we are left with the two-word worthy goal of how to do life… “just right.” The buried treasure in Proverbs 30 is the three-verse prayer that delivers a shocking formula for trusting God, discovering his will for our life.
