Living in a cedar palace while the ark of the covenant sat in an aging tent bothered him, so he told the prophet Nathan he'd fix it. God had a very different house in mind. Pastor Mark Addis walks through 2 Samuel 7 and the covenant that grew out of that reversal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_1bKAQqkTeg 2025-02-16 yes no New Hope Community Church https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZbKAwzKBmP8/sddefault.jpg Celebrating God's Presence (2 Samuel 6) A flawless football game is one where every player follows the game plan and the rules, penalties and all, no matter how good the intentions. On Super Bowl Sunday, Pastor Tim Rolen uses that idea to frame 2 Samuel 6: David wanted to bring the ark of the covenant home to Jerusalem for exactly the right reason, and did it exactly the wrong way. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZbKAwzKBmP8 2025-02-09 yes no New Hope Community Church https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4SVl3nDWzJQ/maxresdefault.jpg Wilderness Worship (Psalm 63) What was the lowest point of your life? Pastor Kyle Relph opens with that question on the way to what might be the lowest point of David's: a lie that gets 85 priests and an entire town massacred, weighing on his conscience while he hides in the wilderness of Judah. Psalm 63 is the song David wrote from inside that desert. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4SVl3nDWzJQ 2025-02-02 yes no New Hope Community Church https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sSBiDBZYLLU/maxresdefault.jpg A Life Spared (1 Samuel 24) Two friends made a pact: whoever died first would come back and report whether there's baseball in heaven. One did. "Good news," he said, "there's definitely baseball in heaven. Bad news, you're pitching on Friday." Pastor Mark Addis opens with that joke to name the good-news, bad-news rhythm running through David's whole life, and lands in a cave where David gets the perfect opportunity to kill the man hunting him, and doesn't take it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sSBiDBZYLLU 2025-01-26 yes no New Hope Community Church https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1WATrKFK3IY/maxresdefault.jpg The Power of Relationships (1 Samuel 18-20) Romeo and Juliet. West Side Story. Two families kept apart until tragedy forces them together.
