Fear can be a good thing when it alerts us to and protects us from danger. But what about fear that harms our relationships and produces anxiety about what may or may not happen? As we begin our journey through the Christmas Series, we are greeted by the same proclamation from the Angels at the Birth of Jesus, "Fear Not!"

In the final week of the Flawed and Faithful series, Serve Pastor Michael Young brings it home discussing King David's offering to God at the threshing floor. Through these scriptures we are prompted to cast our eyes towards Jesus, the ultimate king, and dare to embrace the richness of relationship and sacrifice intermingled.

What if the legendary King David isn't the hero of his own story? What if David's flaws and failures actually point us to the real hero? Pastor Carey Sumner uses multiple segments of scripture to discuss sin, salvation, and our ultimate source of freedom.

The words of the Psalms of David cry out, "How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?" Like David, we have all experienced grief or loss. From his life, we can get a picture of how to embrace God and our grief.

Have you ever found yourself saying, "I can't help it" about sins, temptations, or other struggles in your life? Ryan Sweat conquers this question with passages from Corinthians, lessons from the actions of King David, and shares wisdom on how to prevent disaster before it strikes.

As people of God, how do we interact with authority? Pastor Carey teaches lessons from the life of David about honoring and respecting those in authority, even when they do not deserve it.

A life of generosity comes from a heart of gratitude, not from having lots of resources. Pastor Jerry Sweat studies this characteristic of King David and teaches on how this applies to our lives.

At times, David trusted God with reckless abandon. At other times, he was just reckless. Check out how David was able to spare Saul's life in an incredible act of reckless abandonment to God's plan.

Are there times where you have been discouraged? How about discouraged AND alone? Pastor Carey draws lessons from the life of David, who often experienced both, about what it looks like to encourage and sustain our souls in the Lord.
