Confident

This week we talk about David's legacy and what he did in the final years of his life. When our dreams and plans don't come through, how will we react? We can either get mad at God, wallow in bitterness...OR we can embrace the wise words of Ross Gellar and "PIVOT!!". We can say " I wouldn't have planned it this way, but I'm not God and you know better. So let's go with your plan instead."

How can we use what God HAS given us, and leverage that to partner with what God's doing on earth?

2 Samuel 11:1-27

Talking about the heart of Christianity today.

There are no perfect people in the Bible. Only Jesus. Everyone at some point, makes a mess in their lives, including David.

It is in that failure, that brokenness, that Jesus steps in as a savior.

The story of Mephibosheth is a great story of the gospel. Once a child of the king, now an enemy of the king, deserving of death.

But then, through Jesus, He initiates, he chases after us. And instead of wrath or judgement, he offers kindness.

David shows this same kindness to Mephibosheth because Jesus showed him the same.

Who or what is you "mephibosheth" today? What is the shocking act of kindness God is calling you to? How are you going to overflow into the life of someone else this week?

2 Samuel chapter 7

Paul says "let no debt remain outstanding except for the debt of love."

This is not a bad thing. It's actually a beautiful thing. But here's the problem.

We can take that same instinct, that need to balance the scales, and carry it into our relationship with God. God's relationship with us is supposed to be imbalanced. It's meant to be unfair. It's meant to be one sided. That's the whole point.

Luke 24 - "Anything is Possible"

Easter in some ways is the biggest punchline of all times.

The first Easter Sunday, nobody was expecting a punchline. They expected Jesus to be like everything else in their life. A hopeful start, but let down in the end.....But look what happens.

Today we close out 1 Samuel with king Saul; a tragic end of a tragic life.

One day our life will be over, and eternity will be waiting. Where you spend that eternity all depends on your choices here, now...today.

The choices you make today will determine the destiny of your eternal life.

What happens when life goes from running smoothly, to having everything come crashing down? This week we this happen to David and we learn that

"Before God can work through us, he must work in us, and this is usually painful and not fun."

After defeating Goliath, God is preparing David for the next season of becoming king of Israel. To do this, God gives David the blessing of a friendship with Jonathan. This will be an anchor in the middle of a storm for David. God wants to do the same in your life as well!

A true friend sacrifices for you, commits to you, has your back, let's you be yourself, encourages you and speaks truth to you.

One of the most famous stories in the bible.... David and Goliath -

More than just "be courageous like David was."

Because of what Jesus did for us, the big huge fear inducing giants in our lives have all been defeated:

In Christ you don't have to fear death

In Christ your future is secured

In Christ, and in Christ alone, you can have the courage to face whatever life throws at you.
