As we enter into the Advent season, we focus on the concept of longing by looking towards the community of Israel in exile to help us see the salvation that we still need.

After his sin with Bathsheba, David's family life begins to fall apart, but not as a result of too much involvement.

David's sin with Bathsheba was so horrible that it is easy to judge it from afar. However, when we peel back the layers we start to see what was behind his actions and in doing this, we may find ourselves in this story.

God never asked for a house, but promised David that He would build him one that would last forever. However, things don't work out as David would have expected.

There was a time when David's men risked their lives to get him water and then he...poured it out? Why would he do this and what does it teach us about faithfulness, logic and God?

What happens when we realize the things we thought were sources of power turn out to just be illusions? How does the story of David and Goliath impact our world today?

What To Do When Nothing Changes (10.09.16 - Jim Shemaria) by Celebration Bible Church

The Israelites lived with a confident expectation that God would bring them into a state of rest, and each week they put that hope on display. What can modern Christians learn from their practice of Sabbath as we seek to proclaim our own confident hope?

Psalm 30 presents a very relatable thought - when life is good, we don't feel like we need God. How can we become people who don't live within the false divide of the spiritual and the physical?
