Greed | Foundations | 1 Samuel 25:1-13 | Pastor Tumi Moraba

What happens when what we have begins to have us?In 1 Samuel 25, we meet Nabal, a wealthy man whose possessions have become so central to his life that he can no longer see the people around him. Jesus tells a similar story in Luke 12 through the parable of the rich fool.In this message, we look at how greed can make fools of us promising that more will finally satisfy us, while isolating us from community and ultimately leading us toward judgement.

Purpose | Foundations | 1 Samuel 23-24

SIN

Sin rarely begins with the thing that finally gets exposed. It begins much earlier: in our desires, our disappointments and our comparisons.In 1 Samuel 22, we see where Saul’s unchecked jealousy ultimately led him: to paranoia, rage, and the massacre of God’s priests. But Saul’s story is also a warning for us: sin will take you further than you want to go and keep you longer than you want to stay.In this message, we look honestly at jealousy and envy, how they grow beneath the surface.

Fugitive

What do you do when the life you thought you had suddenly falls apart? And where do you run when you have nowhere left to run?In 1 Samuel 21, David is a fugitive running from one place to another. It is in the middle of that uncertainty, God meets him in the cave of Adullam, where he pens Psalm 34, which gives us David’s perspective on that season: “I will bless the LORD at all times.” It is a reminder that God’s goodness is not dependent on our circumstances changing. Sometimes the greatest evidence of God’s presence is that He sustains us while we are still in the cave.In this message, we explore fear, refuge, God’s presence, and ultimately how Psalm 34 points beyond David to Jesus, the One who delivers us from our deepest trouble.You may be in a cave, but you are not alone. God is near.

Michal

Michal: A Woman in Need of Love and Grace Michal’s story is often reduced to a difficult woman who despised David’s worship. But when we slow down and read her story, we discover something far more complicated: a woman whose love was repeatedly used, whose voice was rarely considered, and whose wounds shaped the way she related to those around her. In this message, we explore Michal’s story, the way men treat the women entrusted to them, the danger of unresolved wounds, and the tension between public faithfulness and private neglect. Most importantly, we ask: Who needs Jesus in this story?

Jealousy Makes You Ugly

In 1 Samuel 18–19, Saul's jealousy reveals something far deeper: a heart that has drifted from God. We look at how unchecked sin moves from a feeling to a force that shapes our decisions, damages our relationships, and distorts our identity. Ultimately this message points us to Jesus, the one who forgives and heals the Saul and the David in us.

The Champ Is Here

What if the story of David and Goliath isn't primarily about you being the hero? In this sermon, we uncover the deeper message of 1 Samuel 17: the battle belongs to the Lord, and the true Champion has already won. Because Jesus conquered sin and death, we can face every giant from a place of victory.

I BLEW IT

What happens when someone is given everything and throws it all away? King Saul had the calling, the victories, but by 1 Samuel 15, he'd blown it. In this message, we look at what took Saul down: the sins we minimise, the pride we hide, and the moment when God finally says "enough." Finally, we ask the uncomfortable question: are we closer to Saul than we think?
