In this powerful message, we step onto the porch with 30-year-old King David, looking out over Jerusalem as he reflects on two decades of God’s faithfulness. From shepherd boy in Bethlehem… to giant-slayer of Goliath… to fugitive running from King Saul… to anointed king of Israel—David’s story is overflowing with God’s protection, provision, and unfailing promises. As David looks back, he sees how the Lord carried him through fear, danger, uncertainty, and sin. And as he looks forward, he clings to God’s greatest promise of all—a coming King who would reign forever. Jesus, born of David’s line, is the fulfillment of that promise. This sermon invites you to do the same:

✔ Look back with thankfulness.

✔ Look forward with confidence.

✔ Trust that God always keeps His promises, even when life is confusing, painful, or filled with waiting. Just like David, you can say with awe and gratitude: “Who am I, Sovereign LORD, that You have brought me this far?”
