The Demand for a King: 1 Samuel 7-8 | Brent Smith
In 1 Samuel 7-8, the Israelites, after years of oppression, repent and turn back to God, seeking His help against the Philistines.

The Storms of Life: John 6:15-21 | Mike Vincent

Jesus Stands Before Pilate: Matthew 27:1-26 | Brent Smith

The Garden of Distress: Matthew 26:31-56 | Brent Smith

Brent Smith: Watching, Waiting and Working | Matthew 25:14-46

Brent Smith: Man of Salvation | Revelation 1:17-18
