But David’s confidence in God made him fearless before the enemy. Though we are often tempted to despair, we have a Hero like David who shows us the power of a steadfast confidence in God. http://crosstownokc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2018-03-11_Defeating_Goliath.mp3 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 10:30:19 +0000 Assurance, Confidence, Doubt, Fear, Shame, Temptation, Unbelief, Victory http://crosstownokc.org/sermons/the-lords-king/ Ben Janssen The Anointed King: 1 & 2 Samuel While Samuel mourned over the failure of Saul, God was on the move, preparing to reveal the king of his own choosing and through him to establish an everlasting kingdom.

Only then will they discover that the Rejected King is the only sovereign who can be for them the leader that they need. http://crosstownokc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/2018-02-11_The_Rejected_King.mp3 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 10:30:02 +0000 http://crosstownokc.org/sermons/the-heavy-hand-of-a-glorious-god/ Ben Janssen The Anointed King: 1 & 2 Samuel The Philistine armies defeated Israel and captured the ark of the covenant.
