The End Of A King by City Baptist Church Vancouver

No Hope For A King by City Baptist Church Vancouver

Last Sunday, we were reminded of the dangers found in compromise. Even when faced with a crisis, trial or difficult season - we must not come to a conclusion of Who God is and what He is doing. Rather the falling away, we should remain true to the truth of God's Word and give Him our full attention. Do you have a wrong conclusion or Who is and what He is doing? Choose surrender. Choose to be still.

The next instalment of "David: The Life of a King" focuses in on repaying evil for good. Forgiveness is something we can see exemplified throughout David's life. Blessing those who persecute us requires self denial - but it is a practice that will result in joy and peace as a result of following Jesus' way.

Last Sunday's message reminded us of the power and protection found in the presence of God. Most often, the pre-requisite to the promises of God are His commands. Our first response should always be to turn to the Word and prayer, and to practice His presence each day.

As we returned to our series on the life of David, we receive an invitation. A call to return to the joy of our salvation. To receive the perfect peace, found only in knowing and trusting the Saviour. Whether you find yourself in a difficult season or feel bitter, angry or alone - there is salvation in the Name of Jesus, and He is the keeper of peace.

As we journey on with David, we come to a story of him receiving great hope and courage in the face of fear. David was facing opposition from his enemies, and he finds himself trapped in a cave. However we see David cry out to God and express radical dependance and trust in Him. David was able to experience God as His Shepherd and faithful Father. No matter what season we may find ourselves in, we must remain steadfast in trusting our Father. Even in our greatest time of need, we can find peace and see that God is doing something beautiful through our brokeness.

The latest instalment of "David - The Life of a King" brings us several Biblical principles on how we can have clarity, peace of mind and make wise decisions in times of crisis.

Last Sunday's message reminded us of the seriousness of sin. God can see our hearts, and we must repent before the consequences of our actions come our way. Rather than trying to figure things out on our own, we must cry out to God and turn to Him. Trust Him, trust His wisdom and lean on His strength. We must forsake our sin, and cling to Christ.
