The Life of David
Part 8 | The Gift of Repentance
(2 Samuel 12:1-14)
 
After David's sin comes one of the most important moments in his life: Nathan confronts him. Nathan courageously speaks the truth, and David is brought face-to-face with his sin. This message will explore both the blessing of repentance and the blessing of having people in our lives who are willing to speak hard truths in love. What do you do when your sin is exposed? Our natural tendency is to excuse, justify, or minimize our sin, but healing and transformation begins when we bring it into the light.

The Life of David
Part 7 | Means to an End
(2 Samuel 11:1-17) 
 
Last week, we saw David at his best, showing extraordinary kindness to someone who didn't deserve it and could never repay it. This week, we'll see him at his worst. David's choices set off a chain of events that could have brought an end to everything he built. As we walk through this period of his life, we'll uncover the warning signs at every stage of his failure and how God lovingly redirects us at every step.

The Life of David
Part 6 | A Seat at the King’s Table
(2 Samuel 9:1-13) 
 
When faith feels weak or failures feel heavy, you might be unsure where you stand with God. Few things shape your life more deeply than uncertainty about his love. This week, we’ll see how King David showed “God’s kindness” to a man named Mephibosheth. His story illustrates how God's love for you is beyond your control.

The Life of David
Part 5 | When God Had Other Plans
(1 Samuel 7:1-16) 
 
We've all imagined how life was supposed to go. But what happens when the future we planned looks nothing like the one we receive? In this message from the Life of David, we'll discover why God's "no" doesn't mean He has stopped loving us, and why we can trust His heart even when we don't understand His plans.

Part 4 | Being in the Waiting
(1 Samuel 26:7-9; 27:1; 30:3-6) 
 
Seasons of waiting aren't easy, but they can be seasons of incredible growth. The problem is, waiting also comes with traps that can catch you by surprise. This week, we'll see how David faced at least three of those traps during a decade of waiting. We'll explore what those same traps look like today and how to navigate them with God's help.

Unshakeable Gratitude
(Genesis 8:15-22)
What happens when everything you've built your life on is suddenly taken away? This week we're going to see how Noah steps into a world that has been completely changed by the flood. Yet instead of fear, anger, or despair, his first response is worship. Join us as we discover how lasting gratitude isn't rooted in circumstances, but in the faithfulness of God.

The Life of David
Part 2 | Goliath
(1 Samuel 17:32-37; 45-47)
 
Why can two people look at the exact same situation and see two very different things? That's the question at the heart of David and Goliath. While an entire army was fixated on the size of the enemy before them, David was focused on the power and glory of God. This weekend we'll discover how David could see something bigger than the giant standing in front of him.

The Life of David
Part 1 | Matters of the Heart
(1 Samuel 16:1-13)
 
When people evaluate others, they usually look at things like appearance, accomplishments, personality, and potential. God looks somewhere else entirely: He looks at the heart. In part one of this series, we'll discover why God chose an overlooked shepherd to become Israel's greatest king and what it  means to be a person after God's own heart.
