Our Kingly Hope

This morning, I want to turn our attention to Psalm 2. As many of you know, Psalm 2 is a companion to Psalm 1. Together, they introduce us to the Psalter giving us two checkpoints. Psalm 1 directs us in the way of discipleship of living God. He is our shepherd. We are his sheep. Have we planted ourselves firmly in the stream of living water and in the company of the righteous that we might enjoy the blessed life? By contrast, Psalm 2, which is, by the way, among the most quoted Psalms in the New Testament, steps back and considers the bigger picture. Why is that? No surprises here, but the wo ..read more

The call to be strong and courageous recurs frequently in the Old Testament. The reason is because obeying God is frequently difficult and scary! That’s not just true in Joshua’s day, but ours as well. So, where do the strength and courage to obey God come from? Sermon Outline: I. Be strong and courageous because you have a God-given mission to accomplish II. Be strong and courageous because you have a life-giving path to walk III. Be strong and courageous because you have a promise-keeping God to trust Sermon Discussion Questions: 1. Why does following God's commands often require courage ..read more

It's that time of year again! What are your resolutions for 2025? This Sunday, we will explore how the apostle Paul might answer this question. He would tell us to set our minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth (Col. 3:2). But what does that mean? And how do we live out this biblical principle in our daily lives? Come Sunday to find out! Questions: 1. What are some New Year's resolutions that you've done in the past? Why did you pick those? 2. Why do you think it's so hard to set our minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth? 3. Why do you think ..read more

The Hope of a Prince
Covenant Naples

Chapter 9 of Isaiah was written to give hope to the oppressed people of Israel. It can also be a tremendous encouragement to the believer who has fixed their hope securely on Jesus. Indeed, the rulership of Christ, in the present and future kingdom of God, is the surest foundation of hope for the Christian. Questions: 1, Isaiah tells us that “the people who walk in darkness will see a great light.” What are other places in Scripture where we see light and darkness contrasted? 2. It seems clear that Satan is the ruler of aspects of our world, but yet God is in control. What evidence do we have ..read more

Hope in the Lord
Covenant Naples

In 735 BC, God’s people struggled to believe he was with them in times of trouble. We have the same struggle. It’s not that we struggle to believe that God exists; rather, we struggle to believe that he matters. As we face tremendous challenges and troubles in this world, what does it look like to push back on our unbelief and set our hope in the Lord? Sermon Outline: I. God is with us, therefore our enemies will not prevail over us. II. God is with us, therefore we should fear only him. III. God is with us, therefore we should rely on his word. Sermon Discussion Questions: 1. Why do you thi ..read more
