Many people don’t want to surrender to God because they have it in their head that that’s weakness. Today, Pastor Dave reminds us that it’s the Holy Spirit in us that makes us stronger than we ever could be on our own. When you’re walking in harmony with the Lord, His strength is made perfect through your weaknesses.

How hard is it, to work at a bakery and not eat any sugar? If you’re serious about not ingesting it, you remove the temptation, right? Pastor Dave reminds us today that it works much the same way when you become a Christian; you must separate yourself from your old life in order to not fall to the temptation.

Despite his failings, David demonstrated a humble, penitent heart. He tried to hide his sin at first, but then was reminded the hard way that God sees everything. As Pastor Dave will point out in today’s message, instead of turning from God, David turned his heart towards Him even as he dealt with the consequences of his sin.

As much as we look at King David with a sort of romanticized view, often labeling him as a hero, he had some serious downfalls. Adulterer and murderer were both accurate titles for this man. But, as Pastor Dave will point out, God demonstrated mercy and grace to him in accepting His repentant heart.

If you gave your life to free someone from slavery, just for them to return to it of their own will, that would greatly dishonor your sacrifice. Sadly, many believers do this with Christ’s death. As Pastor Dave will exhort us in today’s message, if you’ve been freed from the slavery of sin – don’t submit yourself back under its power!

If you sense God leading you to share His love with someone else – don’t hesitate. You may immediately worry whether you’ll say the right words, but that’s a needless fear. As Pastor Dave will explain in today’s message, God will equip you to speak to their heart, even when you think your words are failing.

The idea that any sin is small and harmless is a lie from our enemy. As Pastor Dave will point out in today’s message, this truth is made clearly evident in the life of King David. Sin only leads to more sin unless it’s confessed in humility and turned away from through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Those who climb the highest have the farthest to fall. David is one of the most revered men in the Old Testament. Most Christian men aspire to be like him in some way. Yet, as Pastor Dave will point out in today’s message, this giant slayer was only human and when he allowed his faith and devotion to wane, he quickly fell.

While the life of a believer is not easy, when you witness someone who’s found peace and joy in Christ despite their circumstances, it’s very appealing. As Pastor Dave will point out in today’s message, all of us can possess those qualities when we submit ourselves fully to God and trust Him with our lives.

In today’s message, Pastor Dave will draw our attention to the parallels between David’s actions towards his friend Jonathon’s son and the love that Christ has given us. David was far from perfect, just like you and me, yet God used him to share His supernatural love and He wants to use you in the same way.
