They are the people we read about in the pages of the Bible; the well-known slayers of giants and the lesser known individuals who helped move the story of God forward. Each one has a story to tell and something to teach us about living a life with God.
This summer, hear from our team as they explore the people and stories that have impacted their lives and shaped their journey with Jesus.

SOLOMON
1 Kings 1-11
Greg Harris (Guest Speaker)
In the Portraits sermon series, most of the messages will look at Scripture characters that resonate with the speaker. In this week's teaching, the guest preacher takes a slightly different approach by working through excerpts from 1 Kings 1-11 to explore the life of Solomon. This well-known King is the son of David, the project-manager for the construction of the Temple, and the prolific author of wisdom literature in the Old Testament... so what went wrong? Why is Solomon a warning story, and how does is story apply to Christians today?

PAUL
Philippians 3:1-11
Nathan Archer
Identity and happiness are two of our culture's greatest obsessions. 2,000 years ago, the same was true for the Apostle Paul. His insight reverberates across the centuries in ways that are astonishingly applicable today.

SHADRACH, MESHACH, ABEDNEGO "EVEN IF HE DOES NOT"
Daniel 3
Lyndon Plett
Life in exile can be incredibly difficult. It is costly and it can easily shake one's faith in God. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were somehow able to hold firmly to their convictions and dedicate themselves to the "God who is Able", even in the face of almost certain death. How did they do it?

DAVID
1 Chronicles 13:1-6
David Morelli
David was a shepherd of sheep, a slayer of Goliath, a warrior poet, and Israel’s most famous king. While he is best known for this, it was his heart for God that set him apart and captured God’s attention. In this teaching we examine a little known story from David’s life and explore what it teaches us about being the church and living a life with God.
