Right Start Radio With Pastor Jim Custer

Are we focused like a laser beam on the desires of Jesus? Yesterday we talked about David's Mighty Men, and the fame and glory they received. And we saw that, within this elite squad of warriors, there was a hierarchy of renown. That reminds us of our service to Christ, and our coming rewards. The difference between being the cream, and being the crème de la crème, has to do with tuning our ears to His heartbeat. Here's Jim to conclude the message, Trophy Time!

From losers, to legends! David wouldn't have gotten anywhere without his Mighty Men. (That's what was printed on their business cards: "David's Mighty Men," and we'll read about them in 2 Samuel 23.) But they didn't start out as "mighty." These were some of the distressed, discontented debtors who had rallied around David in the early days. If these dregs of humanity could become superheroes, maybe there's a lesson here for us. Here's Jim to open the message, Trophy Time!

God has a remedy for the world's ills - but the world doesn't want to take it! We won't find the ultimate answers in the voting booth, or in technology, or in education. The solution to our deepest problems is the return of the rightful, and righteous, King. When that happens, some will be rewarded. Others will be punished. Jesus had some jaw-dropping things to say about that! And that return is foreshadowed in the example of David. Here's Jim to conclude the sermon, Bringing Back the King.

About the elephant in the room.... In the words of 2 Samuel 19:10, "Why do you say nothing about bringing back the king?" It was the question on the minds of David's once-and-future subjects. And Jim will put the question to us, about a King called the "Son of David." We've been considering David, the man. Now we'll look at David, the symbol - the "type" of Christ. Like Jesus, he was a king in exile, and his people should have been preparing for his return.

You think your family has problems! We wouldn't minimize anyone's pain - and the wounds of our own flesh and blood hurt the most - but David took the prize for dysfunctional families! And his household secrets couldn't be concealed behind closed doors; they spilled over into the army, and the whole nation. Worst of all, David had to look at the man responsible for all this tragedy every morning...in the mirror. Here's Jim with a sermon called, To Clone a King.
