Area 10 Faith Community

King David was many things: a warrior, king, poet, shepherd, and more. However, the one role he could have handled better was that of a father. In this message, we looked at the tragic and uncomfortable story of what happened between some of David's own children.

David was a man after God’s own heart. But that doesn’t mean he was perfect.  In one chapter of the Bible, he manages to break almost all of the Ten Commandments. And it costs him dearly.

We all know people who seem so confident about hearing God's voice or knowing God's will for their lives. Meanwhile, we feel out of the loop. Why do some people seem to hear God so clearly while we struggle to feel His presence?

What do you do when your world comes apart? When your worst fears come true, how do you handle what writers have called "the dark night of the soul"? In this message, we will look at King David and his mindset as he was on the run from a son who was trying to kill him, and we will learn some strategies for how we can handle our darkest days.

Some people believe showing mercy is a sign of weakness, but is that true? In this message, we will look at a time when the future King of Israel, David, had every opportunity to get back at his worst enemies but chose to do the most unexpected thing and show mercy instead.

It’s one of the most famous stories in the whole Bible: David and Goliath. We love the story of the little guy taking on the big, bad guy. It’s a popular narrative that we love to retell, but is this story just about the courage of the underdog?

One of the most famous people in the Bible is King David. David was a poet, musician, shepherd, warrior, and king. Although none of us are kings in ancient Israel, many things about him are incredibly relatable to our modern day. This Sunday, we reflected on the frustrating experience of being in a "waiting season" of life and feeling like God is not doing anything.

Have you ever asked yourself this question as friends, colleagues, family members, and even fellow church members argue? In a politically divided culture, how do the people of God stay united? In this message, we examined how Jesus was concerned that his followers maintained unity despite competing views.

This week, we looked at what the Bible says about a Christian's response to Government and how we can engage in politics without losing our perspective on Jesus as our ultimate authority.

In our world of 24/7 news cycles, is it possible to consume too much news? And what does that consumption do to our hearts, our minds, or our souls? In this message, we looked at how media affects us in a political season and considered Apostle Paul’s advice to an ancient church about how to keep your mind right during crazy times.
