David’s sin shows us that the way to God’s forgiveness comes through staying in the story, by recognizing our own sin, and by holding onto our identity in Christ.

After we sit at Jesus' feet, what might He have us do? Watch what David does this morning to help answer this question.

Today, we will focus on 3 key statements in David's prayer that reveal a shift in his thinking, revealing humility, gratitude, and a desire to see God glorified. How did David get here? How can we experience a similar shift?

In our 'Spiritual Greenhouse' message several weeks ago, we were challenged to see the story of David as a story of growth, which allows us to see our story as one of growth. Only God can grow us by His Spirit and we can participate. Today we explore 6 ways we can participate in God's growth of our lives.

The wisdom from David's story today reveals that before we do for God, we first must consult God and seek to understand what He is up to so that we can be in step with Him so that we can draw attention to Him and His works.

Today we witness a seasonal shift in David's life and in it we are given a clear picture of how obedience and freedom go hand in hand and we’re also given a practical definition of worship.

The tragedy in today’s scripture teaches us two sobering lessons. The first; There’s a difference between good intentions and actual obedience, and second; It’s dangerous to try and take charge of God.

David’s act of bringing the Ark to Jerusalem invites the church to assess our true focal point.
