  • Domino Effect: When Pride Meets Its Match - Pastor Christopher Coats

    Domino Effect: When Pride Meets Its Match - Pastor Christopher Coats
    Jun 2 2025
    In "Domino Effect: When Pride Meets Its Match", we look at 1 Samuel 25 and three leaders, David, Nabal, and Abigail; each revealing something powerful about character under pressure. David, usually after God’s heart, nearly lets anger lead him to bloodshed after being insulted by the arrogant and unteachable Nabal. But then Abigail steps in, wise, courageous, and humble. She diffuses the crisis and reminds David of his greater calling. This story challenges us: Will we let pride control us like Nabal? Will we react in anger like David? Or will we lead with wisdom and grace like Abigail? Ultimately, this passage points us to Jesus, who didn’t retaliate when insulted but trusted the Father. True leadership rests in grace, not pride, and shows strength through humility.

  • Domino Effect: When Compromise Comes First - Pastor Colby Rohde

    Domino Effect: When Compromise Comes First - Pastor Colby Rohde
    May 26 2025
    In Domino Effect: When Compromise Comes First, we examine the tragic decline of King Saul in 1 Samuel, a man who started with promise but drifted through compromise. Chosen by God and anointed by Samuel, Saul ignored warnings, took spiritual detours, and let fear, pride, and control guide his decisions. His downfall wasn’t sudden, it was a slow fade of partial obedience.In a moment of honesty, Saul confesses, “I have acted like a fool.” His story is a mirror for all of us, leaders, parents, and everyday people under pressure. When we follow our own way instead of God’s, we risk spiritual ruin.But it doesn’t have to end that way. There’s grace in the detour. And in Jesus, the true King who obeyed fully and led humbly, we find the road back.

  • Domino Effect: When Weakness Hides Behind Strength - Pastor Christopher Coats

    Domino Effect: When Weakness Hides Behind Strength - Pastor Christopher Coats
    May 19 2025
    This week, we looked at the tragic and powerful life of Samson from Judges 13–16. Like the Surfside condo collapse, Samson’s fall didn’t come from a single moment, but from years of inner erosion. He was chosen by God, set apart as a Nazirite, and gifted with incredible strength. But gifting outpaced his character. He pursued what was "right in his own eyes," ignoring godly wisdom, his Nazirite calling, and God's commands. Small compromises, touching a dead lion, throwing a feast like the world, impulsively choosing relationships, eventually led to spiritual collapse. Yet even at the end, when blind and broken, Samson called out to God, and God used him one last time. His story warns us: charisma without character leads to ruin. But it also offers hope, God still answers those who turn to Him. In Jesus, we have a better Judge, one who never compromised, and who offers new life. Let us guard our hearts and build character that can sustain our calling.
