Capital Hills Campus Pastor John Muller shares a message from 1 John.

One day, the story of your life will be told to the next generation. How do you want today’s chapter to be told? As a season of faithfulness, trust, and integrity? Or as the moment when you decided to walk away from everything—and everyone—you once served?In this message from 1 Samuel 25, Pastor J.D. shows us King David at a critical juncture, fresh off his faithful response to the murderous King Saul. But when a smaller obstacle meets David, he stumbles and nearly falls. The only thing that prevents David from veering into a pattern of sin and foolishness is an obscure figure—one of the wisest (and least known) people in the entire Bible.

Pastor Bryan Loritts shares a message from 1 Samuel 25.

What do you do when the path you’re on takes an expected turn for the worst? In this message from 1 Samuel 24, Pastor J.D. follows King David into an unexpected place—the wilderness. At this point in his life, David had been chosen to be king. And yet circumstances sent him running for his life. David’s temptation in this season echoes our own: When our plans seem to be going south, we can take matters into our own hands. Or we can follow David, doing the hardest thing in the Bible—trust God and actively wait on his timing.

Pastor Bryan continues our Life of David series by preaching on how to trust God and embrace the process. This was recorded at our Blue Ridge Campus.

In this message on Psalm 1, Pastor Curtis asks a question as old as time itself: “How can I be happy?” Most of us, if we were honest, would admit that we’re not living our “happiest” lives—but maybe, someday, hopefully … we might? In this ancient psalm, we’ll learn practical wisdom about the source of lasting happiness. It’s not a matter of circumstance, or relational status, or wealth. It’s simultaneously simpler and more complicated than that: happiness is only the fruit; what matters is where we plant our roots.

Pastor Dustin Wells shares a message on John 15 from our Blue Ridge Campus.

Gus Pacheco, North Durham Campus Pastor, leads a deep dive into the vital connection between believers and Christ, emphasizing the metaphor of Jesus as the vine. He discusses the dangers of spiritual barrenness and the joy found in abiding with Him, especially during hardships. Through personal stories, Gus illustrates the power of sacrificial love and encourages listeners to embrace faith and communal practices like communion. He highlights how genuine love and connection with Christ not only glorify God but enrich the community.

In this message from 1 Samuel, Pastor J.D. looks at one of the greatest friendship stories of all time—between the presumptive heir, Prince Jonathan, and the anointed king, David. This unlikely friendship challenges us to choose our own response to the one true King, Jesus. Will we, like Saul, resist him? Or will we, like Jonathan, yield the throne of our life to him?
