The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge once described friendship as “a sheltering tree.” We are in the final stages of King David’s life. As we look at this next stage of King David’s life, we find a man who had not only one friend who is sheltering tree, but a whole forest of them! Why does David need these friends? Let’s find out. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022

May 29, 2022King of RegretsBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsWe are engaged in a study of the life of David, king of Israel. He is such a significant biblical person that 62 chapters of the Old Testament are devoted to his biography. And not only that, there are more than 50 references to him in the New Testament, by far more than any other biblical character, except Jesus. This great man after God’s own heart committed a series of terrible sins that led to terrible consequences. He is a man with regrets. He is a king with regrets. Let's find out how he is still a man after God's own heart and how we too can Purse that. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022
- May 22, 2022The King of Lust
May 22, 2022The King of LustBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsYou know, no matter what I do, I cannot get through the day without God’s help. The worst times come when I am feeling confident. When I think I have it all together, that is when I stumble and falter in my faith. Temptation and sin are an ever present, on-going struggle for all of us. Nobody is exempt from sin, from its powerful draw and terrible effects. Some people have certain tendencies towards various sins. Lying, gossiping, drunkenness, anger, greed, pride, etc. Of all the temptations and sins, none perhaps are as strong and devastating as sexual lust and sexual sin. The Bible clearly warns us about these temptations with explicit commands and personal examples. Today we return to our yearly focus, our theme for the year is Pursue: A quest for a Godly heart. Here we examine one of the most well-known David events. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022

- May 7, 2022King of Grace
May 7, 2022King of GraceBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsWhat do you think of when I say the word grace? Some will think of prayer. Others might think about the way a ballet dancer moves across the stage, or the way in which a queen carries herself. But neither are what grace really is. Scripture defines what grace is and who gives an/or receives grace. Join us as we take another step on our Quest for a Godly Heart. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022
- May 1, 2022Saying No To The King
May 1, 2022Saying No To The KingBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsNone of us like to hear the answer “NO.” That’s true of children, teenagers and adults. I remember I hated to hear that answer when I was a child. There are not many pictures sadder to me than that of a parent who doesn’t say “no” to their child. A child who is obviously in control of his or her parent. We have all seen them. The kid who gets everything they want when they want it. The parent gives in to the constant demands. How does that kid behave? What kind of adult do you think they grow up to be? But what about God? Does God ever tell us no? Doesn’t God want to give us what we want? Doesn’t God desire that we are happy? Join us as be come to a time in David’s life where God tells him no. How do you think this King responds? #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #Pursue2022
