      <title>How to Escape God's Judgment</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/45261618371682</link>
      <description>Sometimes it's really easy to accuse others when we ourselves have the same problem. But we cannot avoid God's judgment by pointing our finger at someone else. How, then, do we escape His righteous wrath against our sins?  We first have to be honest about our natural condition: we are under judgment, and the Lord will judge with equity. There's no way we can stand before the Omniscient Judge and say, "I'm righteous."  So what hope do we have? Where do we run when the gavel is about to fall? We must run to the cross as fast as we can. Christ has taken away our sins and given us His righteousness. He was put to death for our sins, and He was raised again for our justification.  What kind of person will you be? Will you say you haven't sinned and make God out to be a liar? Or will you confess your sins to the one who is faithful and just to forgive them?  Stop pointing fingers at everyone else, confess that you are guilty, and then look to Jesus and rest in His finished work of redemption!</description>

      <title>Given Over to a Debased Mind</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/329262047238088</link>
      <description>It is important that we call sin sin, but first we need to look in the mirror.  When sinful humans suppress the truth and turn to idolatry, God's wrath is revealed on them by turning them over to do the things they love. Paul focuses in on all manner of sins here, leaving all people – without exception – under the scope of God's judgment.  How many times do we find ourselves in these verses? Are we broken in our hearts for these sins in ourselves, just as much as we see them in others and call them out?  Is there any hope for people who have been judged like this? Yes! Just as we were given up to our sinful desires, Jesus was given up for our justification. Now there is no condemnation for us, for our Savior is righteous and merciful to sinners like us!</description>

      <title>God’s Righteous Wrath at Human Suppression</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/32226205454143</link>
      <description>There is something in our beings that desires to stand in awe of someone or something. We know that there is Someone greater than us, and we can't help knowing that there is a God.  To those who refuse to acknowledge this, God's anger is revealed. When we refuse to worship Him and reverence Him, we rob Him of the glory due to His name. And as we do that, it is inevitable that we will start huring people, too. Suppression never stays abstract; it will always warp ourselves and our relationships. And when we suppress the truth about God, the void in our hearts will still be filled with something else instead; and it will always be a created thing or ourselves.  What hope do we have? God's power is revealed in the Gospel; He saved sinners. In His Son, He has given us His perfect righteousness. How can we not love and serve the God who loves us so much?</description>

      <title>Choose Truth Over Strategy</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/319261427357046</link>
      <description>A — What is this about? This passage focuses on David fleeing from Saul, forming an alliance with Achish, and using deception to survive. It highlights his fear-driven decisions, strategic manipulation, and morally complex actions during a time of pressure. B — Best verse: 1 Samuel 27:1 — David's internal decision to flee reveals the root of his actions: fear and self-reliance rather than seeking God. C — What are we called to do? We are called to seek God for wisdom instead of relying on human strategy, especially in difficult situations. Trusting God leads to integrity, while fear can lead to compromise.</description>

      <description>A — About: David recognizes that God prevented him from taking revenge on Nabal through Abigail's wisdom. God later judges Nabal Himself, showing that the Lord defends His people even when they are tempted to act wrongly. B — Best Verse: 1 Samuel 25:39 — David praises the Lord for defending him and keeping him from doing evil by taking vengeance himself. C — Called To Do: Trust God to handle injustice rather than seeking personal revenge. Walk humbly, remembering that God remains faithful even when we fall short.</description>

      <title>The Power of God</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/31526162937702</link>
      <description>When Martin Luther was a monk, he said that he could not love God. He could not find a way to escape His wrath and obtain peace for his soul. But it was this passage that showed him that there was a way to stand before the righteous God, but not in our own works. It is a gift of God through Jesus Christ.  Paul was not ashamed to preach the message of the Gospel everywhere, to everyone: Christ came to save sinners, of whom we are the worst. The Gospel has power because the Lord works to use the words of the Gospel to pierce the soul, and to cause the heart to hear and believe. This miraculous thing happens when people talk about the good news.  We are justified and saved from the wrath of God Himself, which we justly deserved for our sins. Faith is the instrument through which we receive the righteousness of Christ. It is not our righteousness; it is from outside of us, and our confidence must be in Jesus alone. Justification is a once-for-all act of God's free grace, to give us hope.  How are you made right with God? What hope do you have that He has saved you? The object of your hope must be Jesus, and nothing else!</description>

      <title>Grieve With Hope</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/31126159523985</link>
      <description>A — What is this about? The passage recounts the death of Samuel, Israel's last judge and faithful prophet. The nation gathers to mourn him deeply. His death marks a moment of uncertainty for Israel, and David withdraws to the wilderness, possibly seeking safety, space to grieve, or distance during a fragile time. B — Best verse to summarize this 1 Samuel 25:1 – "Then Samuel died, and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran." C — What are we called to do? Believers are called to grieve honestly while holding onto hope. Mourning is a natural response to loss, yet Christians remember that death is not the end. We mourn with faith in the resurrection and the promise of eternal life through Jesus.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/312261430414326</link>
      <description>A — About the Passage David's men ask Nabal for kindness after protecting his shepherds, but Nabal insults them. David angrily prepares revenge. Abigail intervenes with humility and wisdom, bringing provision and persuading David not to shed innocent blood. B — Best Verse 1 Samuel 25:33 – "And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand." C — Called to Do Resist acting in anger. Receive correction with humility, listen to wise counsel, and choose righteousness instead of revenge.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/31126145356178</link>
      <description>A — About: David has the chance to kill Saul in the cave at En Gedi but refuses because Saul is the Lord's anointed. Instead, David spares his life and proves his righteousness by showing Saul the piece of robe he cut. B — Best Verse: 1 Samuel 24:18 — "And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when the Lord delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me." C — Call to Action: Choose righteousness even when wronged. Honor those God has placed in authority and trust God to judge rightly rather than seeking personal revenge.</description>

      <description>A — About: David continues fleeing from Saul in the wilderness while Saul relentlessly hunts him. Jonathan strengthens David in faith, betrayers reveal David's location, yet God preserves David and prevents Saul from capturing him. B — Best Verse: 1 Samuel 23:14 — "Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand." C — Called to Do: Trust God's protection and purposes, humbly support Christ the rightful King, and reject prideful ambition like Saul's.</description>

      <title>Seek God Before Acting</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/392634667014</link>
      <description>A — What is this about? David consistently seeks the Lord's guidance before acting. Even when his men are afraid and circumstances are uncertain, he inquires of God, obeys His direction, and trusts His knowledge of future outcomes—even when people may betray him. B — Best verse to summarize this passage: "Therefore David inquired of the Lord, saying, 'Shall I go and attack these Philistines?' And the Lord said to David, 'Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.'" — 1 Samuel 23:2 C — What are we called to do? Seek God's guidance before making decisions. Trust His wisdom rather than our own understanding, remain open to His direction through Scripture and prayer, and continue doing what is right even when others may not respond faithfully.</description>

      <title>Trees of Righteousness, the Planting of the Lord</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/38262115471693</link>
      <description>Trees beautify Creation and give glory to the Creator as doing all things well. Believers are called trees of righteousness; even though we lost our perfection when Adam sinned, we have been made a new creation and brought back into the covenant family of God.  This passage also includes the purpose statement of Christ's work of redemption. He is the Anointed One who came to proclaim the good news of salvation by grace. He suffered the wrath and curse of God that we deserved, by dying on a tree as a beautiful Sacrifice.</description>

      <title>Trust the True King</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/3426622451406</link>
      <description>A — What is this passage about? Saul's paranoia and hunger for power escalate into violence. He accuses the priests of conspiracy with David and orders their execution. Doeg the Edomite carries out the massacre, destroying the priests of Nob. David grieves when Abiathar escapes and finds refuge with him. B — Best verse to summarize this passage 1 Samuel 22:8 (NKJV) – "All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse…" C — What are we called to do? Do not place ultimate trust in earthly leaders or power. Instead, trust God as the true King and remain faithful to Him even in a world corrupted by fear, pride, and injustice.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/3426552196750</link>
      <description>A — What is this passage about? David escapes to the cave of Adullam while fleeing from Saul. His family joins him, along with people who are distressed, in debt, and discontented, forming a group of about 400 men under David's leadership. God continues protecting David by providing followers, safeguarding his parents in Moab, and sending the prophet Gad to guide him. B — Best verse to summarize the passage 1 Samuel 22:2 — This verse highlights the gathering of the distressed and discontented around David, showing how God begins forming David's leadership and protecting him through people. C — What are we called to do? Trust that God is working behind the scenes even when life seems uncertain. Follow God's direction faithfully, just as David obeyed when instructed to move. Recognize that God often gathers broken people and leads them under His righteous King.</description>

      <title>Trust God in Desperate Days</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/3426523587931</link>
      <description>A – About: This passage focuses on David fleeing from Saul and seeking refuge with Achish, king of Gath. In desperation, David pretends to be insane to preserve his life. The emphasis is not on imitation of David's behavior, but on God's sovereign protection even when His servant makes fearful and questionable decisions. B – Best Verse: 1 Samuel 21:13–14 — David feigns madness before Achish, resulting in his dismissal rather than execution. C – Called to Do: We are called to trust God's providence in fearful and uncertain moments. Rather than imitating David's actions, we rest in the truth that God is sovereign, protective, and faithful—even when our judgment falters.</description>

      <description>A – About: David flees from Saul and seeks refuge with Ahimelech the priest. In haste and fear, he receives the holy bread and the sword of Goliath. Though flawed and fearful, David experiences God's provision and mercy during his flight. B – Best Verse: 1 Samuel 21:6 – "So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread, which had been taken from before the Lord…" C – Called to Do: Trust in God's mercy and provision even in seasons of fear, failure, or uncertainty. Seek Him as refuge, remembering that His grace sustains imperfect people.</description>

      <title>Loyal Love Amid Jealousy</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/22726101577970</link>
      <description>A – What is this about? This passage recounts how Jonathan confirms that Saul is determined to kill David. Through a secret signal with arrows, Jonathan protects David, and the two friends share a sorrowful farewell marked by covenant loyalty, even as Saul's pride and jealousy spiral further. B – Best verse to summarize this: 1 Samuel 20:42 — "Then Jonathan said to David, 'Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD… May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.'" C – What are we called to do? We are called to practice loyal, covenant love—standing for what is right even at personal cost, rejecting pride and jealousy, and trusting God's sovereign plan rather than clinging to power or control.</description>

      <description>A – What is this about? This passage centers on the covenant friendship between David and Jonathan as they discern Saul's intent. Despite his father being king, Jonathan aligns himself with God's anointed, choosing loyalty, humility, and sacrificial love. B – Best verse to summarize: 1 Samuel 20:17 — "Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul." C – What are we called to do? We are called to love sacrificially, walk in humility, honor godly commitments, and serve God's purposes over personal ambition—pointing us to Christ, who came not to be served but to serve.</description>

      <title>God Overrules Evil</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/220261644212236</link>
      <description>A – About: This passage focuses on King Saul's growing jealousy and repeated attempts to kill David, despite promising not to harm him. God sovereignly protects David through Jonathan, Michal, and ultimately by overpowering Saul and his messengers through His Spirit. B – Best Verse: "But the Spirit of God was upon him also…" (1 Samuel 19:23) — showing that God ultimately controls even the king's actions. C – Called to Do: We are called to trust God's sovereignty rather than grasp for power, to reject jealousy and pride, and to serve under Christ our true King with humility and faith.</description>

      <title>Beloved of God</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/222261810552973</link>
      <description>Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ! The Lord is gracious and He has given us peace that has been purchased by Christ's blood. In this series, the goal is for us to love God more and to see His love in Jesus.  Paul was commissioned to be an Apostle and to preach the good news concerning Jesus Christ. Jesus is a loving Master and wonderful Lord, not a cruel despot who will crush you. And if you are in Christ, you are God's beloved. God's affection is poured out upon you, and He has called you to be one of His saints. In this life, you will never be perfect or fully sanctified, but that doesn't have to steal our peace in Jesus Christ.  The Book of Romans starts with an invitation that there is good news to be had, and peace to be found in knowing and loving Christ. God is good, faithful, and loving to all who are in Jesus.</description>

      <title>Trust the Lord in Battle</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/218261726334665</link>
      <description>A – About: This passage recounts the battle between Israel and the Philistines in First Samuel 17, where David faces Goliath. While Israel trembles in fear, David trusts the Lord to deliver him. God displays His power and glory by granting victory—not through human strength, but through faith. B – Best Verse: "Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's…" (1 Samuel 17:47 NKJV) C – Called to Do: We are called to trust the Lord rather than our own strength, walk in faithful obedience, and rest in the greater victory of Jesus Christ—our true and better Champion.</description>

      <title>Find Peace in Christ</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/217261525316031</link>
      <description>A – About: In 1 Samuel 16:14–23, the Spirit of the Lord departs from Saul, and a distressing spirit troubles him. God sovereignly uses David—newly anointed yet still unknown publicly—to bring temporary relief through music. The rejected king is soothed by the chosen king, revealing both God's judgment and His mercy. B – Best Verse: 1 Samuel 16:23 — "Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him." C – Called to Do: We are called to seek true peace from the Lord rather than cling to pride or self-rule. Saul's distress flows from rebellion, while David becomes an instrument of relief. Ultimately, this points us to Christ, the greater Son of David, who alone gives lasting peace to troubled souls.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/21726738222604</link>
      <description>A — About: God sends Samuel to anoint a new king after rejecting Saul. Though Jesse's older sons appear qualified, the Lord chooses David, the youngest shepherd. The focus is not outward appearance but the heart, as God continues His covenant plan. B — Best Verse: "For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7) C — Called to Do: Trust God's sovereign choice and His greater King. Do not judge by appearances, but walk faithfully, believing that the Lord sees the heart and fulfills His redemptive purposes.</description>

      <description>A — About: This passage is about Saul's disobedience to God's clear command and how partial obedience, excuses, and pride led to his rejection as king. B — Best Verse: 1 Samuel 15:22–23 — "To obey is better than sacrifice… For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft… Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king." C — Called to Do: We are called to fully obey God's Word without excuse, without pride, and without shifting blame, trusting in Christ as our perfect King.</description>

      <title>Fear God and Keep His Commandments</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/215261718151375</link>
      <description>We've been all over the place in the 12 chapters of this Book. What is Solomon getting at? There is much in this life that is vanity, but Solomon is still striving to present his audience with wisdom and words of substance.  But what is the point if it's all vanity? Because words have meaning. God has given us the wise words of Scripture to be like goads that prick us uncomfortably when we need to hear them. They are like nails that are driven home to hit the spot in our heart that needs attention. And they have been given by one Shepherd, who speaks to us in words that we can understand. Always go back to the truth written by our one Shepherd. All the books in the world won't give you the peace that can only be found in Christ, or the holiness that is only worked in us by the Holy Spirit.  The conclusion of the matter: fear God and keep His Commandments. You have all sorts of choices to make in your life, so go forward in the fear of the Lord and make principled decisions based on the Lord's Commandments. God will being every work into judgment on the last great day, and our only hope when we stand before Him is for the blood of the Lamb to cover our sins. Because God has shown us His love in Jesus, we can now be assured that old things are passed away and all things are made new. Rest in Christ and His salvation!</description>

      <description>A – What is this about? This passage summarizes Saul's consolidation of power through continual warfare, highlighting his military success, family line, and growing sovereignty—yet foreshadowing that his reign will not ultimately endure. B – Best verse to summarize this passage: "So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel and fought against all his enemies on every side…" (1 Samuel 14:47a, NKJV) C – What are we called to do? We are called to trust and follow the greater and perfect King, Jesus Christ, whose rule is righteous, faithful, and eternal—unlike earthly rulers whose power fades.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/2626164454990</link>
      <description>A — About This passage shows how King Saul's rash oath weakened the people, led them into sin, and nearly cost Jonathan his life, while God still worked through Jonathan for Israel's deliverance. B — Best Verse "Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not!" (1 Samuel 14:45) C — Called To Do We are called to avoid extra-biblical rules, seek God's wisdom before acting, and ensure our intentions and actions truly align with God's Word and bring Him glory.</description>

      <title>Faith When Odds Are Against You</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/25261539555472</link>
      <description>A — What is this about? This passage shows how the Lord delivers His people through faithful obedience, even when circumstances appear impossible. Jonathan acts in faith, while Saul hesitates, and God overturns the battle by His own power, not Israel's strength. B — Best verse to summarize this passage "So the Lord saved Israel that day, and the battle shifted to Beth Aven." (1 Samuel 14:23) C — What are we called to do? We are called to walk by faith, not by sight—trusting God's power rather than human strength, plans, or numbers, and resting in His mercy even when we have been fearful or faithless.</description>

      <description>A — About This passage shows Israel's growing weakness under Saul's leadership as the Philistines strip them of weapons, highlighting the consequences of disobedience and spiritual decline. B — Best Verse "But there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel…" (1 Samuel 13:19) C — Called to Do We are called to trust and obey the Lord fully, recognizing that disobedience leaves us spiritually unprepared, while faithfulness keeps us dependent on God's strength, not our own resources.</description>

      <title>Wait on the Lord</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/24261628384099</link>
      <description>A — What is this about? This passage shows Saul facing fear and pressure as the Philistines gather for war. Instead of waiting for Samuel as God commanded, Saul takes worship into his own hands, acting out of fear rather than faith. His disobedience costs him the lasting establishment of his kingdom. B — Best verse to summarize the passage "Samuel said to Saul, 'You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you.'" (1 Samuel 13:13) C — What are we called to do? We are called to trust God's timing, obey His commands, and resist fear-driven decisions. Faith waits patiently on the Lord rather than forcing outcomes through human effort.</description>

      <title>Remember Your Creator</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/28262155247631</link>
      <description>Life is short -- how are you going to live it? Will you remember your Creator and live your life in the presence of God?  Solomon gives many metaphors and imagery of the difficulties and pains that often accompany older age. While we still enjoy the blessings of youth, are we remembering to give God thanks for them?  Someday we will die, and our bodies will return to the dust of the earth. But we still have hope! Death is not the end of the story. For believers, it is a welcoming of our spirit to our heavenly home, where we will be in the presence of the Lamb. And when Christ returns, our souls and bodies will be reunited, but without the effects of the curse.  Is Jesus your only hope in life and death? Are you remembering your Creator and longing for the Resurrection and Christ's return?</description>

      <title>Fear the Lord, Serve Him</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/24261552331262</link>
      <description>A — What is this passage about? Samuel publicly affirms his integrity, recounts the Lord's faithful deliverance throughout Israel's history, and confronts the people for their sinful desire for a king. Though God grants their request, He reminds them that obedience to Him—not trust in human rulers—determines blessing or judgment. B — Best verse to summarize the passage "Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart." (1 Samuel 12:20, NKJV) C — What are we called to do? Fear the Lord, serve Him in truth with all our heart, and place our trust in God alone rather than in human authority or power.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/23261528224924</link>
      <description>A — What is this about? This passage shows Saul's transition from a hesitant, hidden figure into a Spirit-empowered king who delivers Israel. God uses Saul to rescue Jabesh Gilead, uniting the people and confirming Saul's kingship through victory and worship. B — Best verse to summarize the passage 1 Samuel 11:15 — "There they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly." C — What are we called to do? We are called to recognize that victory comes from the Lord alone, submit joyfully to His appointed King, and walk faithfully in His kingdom—ultimately following Jesus Christ, the true and greater King who delivers His people.</description>

B — Best verse to summarize: "And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father's house?" (1 Samuel 9:20) C — What are we called to do? We are called to trust God's unseen work, resting in His guidance even when His purposes are larger than our understanding.</description>

      <title>Wise Choices in the Face of Death</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/2126220162335</link>
      <description>Life is a gift and a blessing from God, filled with many things that are good and sweet. God gave us many beautiful things to enjoy. But the harsh reality is that one day, our eyes will grow dim and our hair will turn gray. This is why youth, in particular, is a time to seize the day and live your life in the presence of God.  Don't waste the special opportunities that the Lord has given you to make your life count now. Steward the blessings that come with youthfulness, and don't let the world snuff out your joy in Christ. Trust in Jesus now, because you don't know how much time you will have. Then you will be able to look forward to meeting your Maker with hope and joy!</description>

      <description>A — About Israel demands a king to be like other nations, revealing a deeper rejection of God's rule despite clear warnings of the cost. B — Best Verse "They have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them."

      <description>A — What is this passage about? Israel learns that God is holy and not to be treated lightly.

      <description>A — What is this passage about? This passage shows God's holiness displayed among both the Philistines and Israel. The Philistines acknowledge God's hand and return the Ark with fear, while Israel receives it with joy but without proper reverence, resulting in judgment. B — Best verse to summarize this passage "Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts?" (1 Samuel 6:6) C — What are we called to do? We are called to revere God as holy, not treating Him as common or casual, but honoring Him with obedience, worship, and lives set apart for His glory.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/1232616317456</link>
      <description>A — About: This passage shows God's supreme glory as the Ark is captured by the Philistines. Though treated as a trophy, God proves He is not defeated or contained. He alone judges idols and nations. B — Best Verse: "And the hand of the LORD was heavy on the people of Ashdod." (1 Samuel 5:6) C — Called to Do: We are called to worship God alone, never treating Him as common, controllable, or equal to anything else. His glory must not be shared.</description>

      <title>Just Do Something</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/12526178363101</link>
      <description>We live uncertain lives with not many guarantees. There is a lot we don't know. But that doesn't shake us if we have faith in God. Rather, it gives us peace.  We can never be sure about what returns we will get, or whether we will receive generosity in return for the love we show. We don't know the works of God, or how the simple facts and patterns of life work. It's not our business to know these things; and we should still be wise, generous, loving, and humble now, in the present. We don't need to know everything, because we have a heavenly Father Who cares for our needs so we don't have to worry.  In light of all the uncertainties of life, we need to get up and do something. We must work and sow our seeds while the seed-time is still here -- it won't last forever. Don't let your life be ruined by worry, indecision, or procrastination. Make biblical, practical, wise decisions; and work in trust and faith in God, leaving the outcomes with Him.  If we have faith in Christ, this is freedom. We can trust in our God Who loves us, cares for us, and has redeemed us. This makes us free to work wisely and love generously without being shackled by fear.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/120261533444897</link>
      <description>A — What is this passage about? Israel treats the Ark of the Covenant as a tool to secure victory rather than honoring God with reverence. By using the Ark like a mascot, they reveal hearts that trust in symbols instead of obedience, resulting in defeat and loss. B — Best verse that summarizes the passage "Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us, it may save us from the hand of our enemies." (1 Samuel 4:3) C — What are we called to do?

      <title>Lazy, Selfish Politicians</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/118261717583231</link>
      <description>It's a sad thing when kings and rulers are childish and foolish, like Belshazzar, instead of being leaders of honor who live up to their name. The country falls apart and decays when rulers act foolish. Thankfully, the King of kings knew when it was the proper time to feast at a wedding, and when it was time for Him to go to the cross and do His Kingly duty of winning the victory over sin and death.  Even when there may be plenty of bread and wine, and a tyrant is living in decadent luxury, there may sometimes still be decay in the works. But you should still watch your words and your thoughts, because these failing kings can be even more dangerous than ever when their kingdoms are collapsing and crumbling. We must still honor the rulers God has placed over us, even if they are not righteous, and we should pray for them to reform themselves.  We live in a situation of "already and not yet." Jesus has given us a feast of bread and wine. Our King has won the battle and we know He is coming again. Don't be surprised, though, when childish rulers act like foolish tyrants; and don't put your trust in them. Pray for them, entrust the situation to the Lord, and serve Him. King Jesus still reigns over the nations.</description>

      <title>Words, Words, Words</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/111262139491727</link>
      <description>We use a lot of words, but they are not always good and wise. There is peril and danger when dealing with fools who have destructive tongues. But a wise person's words are full of grace, like Jesus' words were. Are our personal lives rooted in Christ so that our words flowing out of our mouths are steeped in grace?  God takes words seriously. Words have meaning and they have the ability to impart life and grace. Do we take it seriously that we have the blessing to choose to speak wholesome words of grace and truth, just like the example Jesus set for us? Are the words we speak full of love, or are they simply a multiplication of foolishness?</description>

      <title>Real World Consequences</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/14262227551432</link>
      <description>While it is true that some suffering in our lives may sometimes be God's judgment, it is also true that things may happen to us simply as unintended realities of living in a sin-cursed world. Often, we don't know the real reasons why God allows things to happen. But we don't need to know. And if we tried to identify one simple reason for what happens to us, that would be thinking too small of our God.  We can't control every outcome of every situation. Yet we should try to maintain a balance of having wisdom to know and follow common-sense safety measures, and having the skill to apply them to the situations we are in.  Life is uncertain; but one day, we will die... So how are we living today? Are we resting in Jesus today? Accidents may happen to us today, but where will we be when we close our eyes for the last time? The wisest thing we can do in the midst of the uncertainties of life is to trust in Jesus for salvation from our sins.</description>

      <title>Contend for the Faith</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/12272574877723</link>
      <description>A — What is this passage about? This passage is a pastoral warning and exhortation. Jude urges believers to remain vigilant, to contend for the true faith, and to guard themselves against false teachers who infiltrate the church, pursue sensual desires, reject authority, and distort God's grace. B — Best verse to summarize the passage "Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." (Jude 1:3, NKJV) C — What are we called to do? We are called to stand firm in the true faith, pursue holiness, pray in the Holy Spirit, remain in God's love, show discernment and compassion toward others, and trust God to preserve us from stumbling.</description>

      <title>Embrace God’s Mercy for All</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/1227257201790</link>
      <description>A — What is this passage about? Jonah becomes angry when God shows mercy to Nineveh. Through the object lesson of the plant, God exposes Jonah's lack of compassion and teaches that His mercy extends to all people, even those Jonah despised. B — Best verse to summarize the passage Jonah 4:2 — "For I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm." C — What are we called to do? We are called to reflect God's compassion, resisting judgmental hearts, and rejoicing when God shows mercy—even to those we believe least deserve it.</description>

      <title>Delight in God's Word</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/122925257194840</link>
      <description>Psalm 119 is one giant acrostic that is all about one thing: God's Word. The Scriptures are fixed and unchanging, and that gives us stability in our lives. The Lord is always faithful to His promises, and everything in His Creation is under His control.  God hasn't given us the Bible just to fill our heads with knowledge; He wants us to delight in it! His Word gives us life, and it should make us cry out -- like the Psalmist -- "I am Yours; save me!" Even in our times of affliction, we would do better to remember God's Word instead of turning out thoughts inward.  You will never exhaust the depths of Scripture! God is good, and His mercies are new every morning. Don't be spiritually impoverished -- read the Scriptures this year!</description>

      <description>A — About Jonah, having fled from God, is thrown into the sea, swallowed by a great fish, and cries out to the Lord. From the depths, he repents and acknowledges that salvation belongs to God alone. B — Best Verse "Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God." (Jonah 2:6) C — Called To We are called to turn back to God in repentance, trust His mercy even in discipline, and confess that salvation is entirely from the Lord.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/1218251611276459</link>
      <description>A — What is this passage about? Jonah obeys God and preaches judgment to Nineveh. The people, from the least to the king, repent deeply. God sees their repentance and shows mercy by withholding the promised destruction. B — Best verse to summarize this passage: Jonah 3:10 – "Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it." C — What are we called to do? We are called to obey God even when it is difficult or unpopular, and to practice genuine repentance—turning from sin with hatred for it and turning fully toward God.</description>

      <title>Pride and Position</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/1214251729443337</link>
      <description>We like to think that we're totally free here in America. But even here, we are still under more authority than we realize at times. And sometimes those authorities are wise, sometimes they are not, and sometimes they are even angry.  The Bible gives us many examples of how wise people reacted to an angry king or ruler: David and Saul, Daniel's three friends and Nebuchadnezzar, Nehemiah and Artaxerxes, and even Christ Himself before Pilate. Conciliation pacifies great offenses.  It's not uncommon for fools to be promoted to high places, while those who are honorable are treated like dirt. And when this happens, the people suffer for it. The world has been turned upside down, and we know it shouldn't be this way. But the King of glory Himself came to earth as a man, and suffered humiliation and even death, so that the world would be flipped over again.  In this world, we need to maintain a Christian posture. Don't be surprised when people look down on us, even though we are sons and daughters of the King. And we will despair if we place our confidence in finally having all the right people in government offices, or even in the church. So we must not put our hope there. The anchor of our soul is in Jesus alone, and not in any earthly authority system.  Our hope must be grounded in Christ. Rulers will mess things up under the sun. But in heaven, King Jesus still reigns perfectly, and we can look forward to the day when He will return and make all things right.</description>

Joel calls priests and people alike to mourn, fast, and gather before the Lord, recognizing that these calamities are meant to awaken hearts to repentance and dependence on God.

(Joel 1:14) C — What are we called to do? We are called to take sin seriously, to examine our hearts honestly, and to respond to hardship with repentance, fasting, prayer, and renewed trust in the Lord rather than indifference or self-reliance.</description>

      <title>On Wisdom and Folly</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/127251723337047</link>
      <description>Folly makes things foul. It destroys the reputation of those who are in high esteem, but then engage in foolish acts. Folly is connected with sinful ways of thinking that influence our lives. There is only one Man Whose life was never stained with sin or folly: Jesus Christ. He is the embodiment of purity and wisdom.  As we increase in wisdom, we increase in the ability to live life skillfully for God's Kingdom. We can only become truly wise by seeking the Lord in His Word and knowing Him. As we do so, our affections are stirred up and we long to have our clumsy, foolish lives changed and made holy.  Fools manifest their folly by calling everything foolish that's outside of "their own ways." Refusing to follow practical advice when it doesn't contradict Scripture is folly itself. This pride will also keep us from the wisdom of God in Christ.  We can live our lives with Christ-filled skill; but it starts with God humbling our heart, leading us to Jesus, and causing us to abide in Him and bring forth much fruit for His glory.</description>

He will thoroughly plead their case…" C — Call to Action Trust God's justice, follow His ways, reject pride, and rest in His unwavering faithfulness even when the world seems chaotic.</description>

      <title>He Humbles the Proud</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/12425427563130</link>
      <description>A — About Jeremiah 49:7–22 declares God's certain judgment upon Edom. Their pride, false security, and reliance on rocky fortresses cannot protect them from the Lord, who comes like a lion and an eagle to expose, humble, and overthrow them. B — Best Verse Jeremiah 49:17 — "Edom also shall be an astonishment… no one shall remain there." C — Called to Do We are called to walk in reverent awe, rejecting self-reliance and pride. We trust Christ—the Lion of Judah—who judges the nations but protects His people. For unbelievers, the warning foreshadows the final judgment and the urgent need to seek refuge in Him.</description>

      <title>Wisdom is Not Respected</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/1130251754224198</link>
      <description>A quiet wise man can save a city, but a loud fool can ruin it. What are you listening to and being discipled by in life: the still small voice of God's Word, or the bombastic clamor of the world?  The hero in Solomon's story is not who we would expect it to be: a poor wise man without rank or riches. Similarly, our salvation comes from an unlikely source. Jesus was the wise Man Who was poor and despised in this world, but He delivered us from the strong man of sin and death.  Sadly, however, just like with Jesus, the unfortunate reality is that the world doesn't always honor those who who save and care for them. They prefer to give attention and preference to those who are loud and noisy, even if their words are worthless. Let's honor those who are Biblically wise, not those in the spotlight who tell us what we want to hear through a microphone. Many families, friendships, churches, and businesses are destroyed because of one loud fool.  Who is guiding your soul and your life? The Good Shepherd, or the noisy commentators of the world? Tune your ears to the quiet voice of God's Word. And if the world thinks you're a fool, so be it, and give God the glory. They esteemed Christ as a fool too.</description>

      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/1123252248114381</link>
      <description>Seize the day that God has given you, and use it for the glory of His Kingdom!  Death is certain to come to us all; but in the meantime, life is a gift from the Lord. He has given us good gifts, and He wants us to take them with an open hand. We can live joyfully with our spouse, and we can enjoy the work that God has given us to do. And even when disastrous things happen to us, we know that these things are not accidents. Our life is in the Lord's hands, and we can trust Him. Seize the day for Jesus Christ, and live with the full knowledge and assurance that you can trust Him with your life.</description>

      <title>True Thanksgiving</title>
      <link>https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/sharonrpc/sermons/1116252234446382</link>
      <description>The Thanksgiving holiday is coming up soon in the US; but as Christians, thanksgiving should be something that characterizes our lives every day.  What the Lord has done in this world should cause us to break out into singing. Great, glorious, amazing, wonderful, marvelous, exquisite, and more are all adjectives that describe the works of God.  God's Providence is in control. He provides and cares for us, even in this bent and broken world.  The Gospel is a comfort to us because it shows us the faithfulness of God's character: He sent His Son to be our Redeemer, just as He promised He would.  There's enough in this Psalm for an eternity of thanksgiving! The Lord's covenant love will never let us go. How often do you thank Him for His works?</description>

But He did make us to be the highest point of His Creation -- made in His image to have a relational capacity. We are special, and we are to have dominion over the earth God made. Even the "lowest" human beings have value because the Lord says so.  Although unbelievers do not want to believe this, they know in their heart that it is true. Their cultural attempts to defy God's order are rebellion against Him. If the Christian view of dominion is absent, then there will be all manner of confusion and perversion.  The world is bent and broken, but Jesus has been crowned with glory and honor, and He conquered death and paid for our sins that messed up this world.</description>

      <description>Solomon presents us with heavy thoughts here, but the rest of the Scriptures provide us with the joy, peace, and hope that the Lord offers and Solomon wanted to know. We are called to obey lawful authorities over us; and even though there are times when tyrants rule unjustly, we don't ever have to worry about the King of kings ruling unrighteously.  This world is unjust and corrupt, but there is a day of justice to come -- it's not the end of the story, and we do have a Righteous Judge. Our King will return and give each one his due, but we don't need to fear this final judgment if we are in Christ.  There are things in life that we can't control. We can either spend all our time in anxiety over them, or we can enjoy the good blessings in life that the Lord has given us. We do not have to be shackled by anxiety and lack of control over things we can't change. We can rest in the assurance that our Redeemer lives, and that all injustice will be set right one day. Rest in Christ and His love!</description>
