Bible Teacher Clay Scroggins explores the contrast between entitlement and gratitude through the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17. While all ten were healed, only one returned to thank Jesus—showing that gratitude, not entitlement, is what opens the door to deeper transformation and the abundant life Jesus offers. True wholeness comes not from getting more, but from recognizing what God has already given.

Bible Teacher Duffy Robbins explores Psalm 23 as David's "memoir," reminding us that our deepest growth often happens in seasons of struggle. The three core affirmations of Psalm 23—I shall not want, I shall not fear, and I shall dwell—show that God alone provides true contentment, companionship in darkness, and lasting belonging. We are invited to make Davis'd confession our own: "The Lord is my Shepherd."

Bible Teacher Dan Slagle explores one of the strangest moments in David’s life in 2 Samuel 24.  Here, a simple census reveals a heart drifting from trust in God to pride in self. Through David’s failure and repentance, we’re reminded that the most dangerous moments come when we start “counting” on our own strength instead of God’s. True life and freedom are found when we humble ourselves, surrender control, and choose God’s way over our own.

Life can feel like a game of Monopoly—acquire, accumulate, win—but in the end, it all goes back in the box. In this message, Founding Pastor, Ken Werlein, teaches from King David’s radical generosity in 1 Chronicles 29 and we discover that true joy isn’t found in owning more but in offering it all back to God. Everything we have is a gift, and everything we give becomes part of something eternal. As we embrace the Malachi 3:10 Challenge, God invites us to trust Him with open hands and watch as He “throws open the floodgates of heaven.” What if the greatest freedom you’ll ever experience begins when you stop clutching the board and start giving it all back?

Founding Pastor Ken Werlein tells the story of Mephibosheth, the crippled grandson of King Saul (and son of Jonathan) who lived in hiding until King David sought him out—not to destroy him, but to show him kindness and restore his place at the royal table. Just as David’s mercy covered Mephibosheth’s brokenness, God’s grace covers our sin and restores our dignity, not because we earn it, but because He loves us. We are being invited to stop hiding, receive God’s grace, and take our seat at His table—where everyone, in their brokenness, is welcome.

In this sermon, Bible Teacher Adam Alexander reminded us that confession begins with recognizing God’s holiness and, in that light, seeing our own sin. Like David in Psalm 51, when we acknowledge our brokenness, we open the door for God’s mercy and transformation. Through confession, God not only forgives us but renews our hearts, making us new creations in Christ. True confession leads to right living—lives marked by humility, freedom, and worship. In the end, confession isn’t about shame; it’s about restoration and renewal in God’s grace.

As we continue in our David series, Bible Teacher Duffy Robbins teaches on the relationship between David and his son Absalom and the high price of sin in our lives. No matter how hard we try to contain it, sin contaminates everything.  Through suffering, God can bring life—even out of dead places, because none of us are beyond the reach of our sovereign King’s forgiveness.

Founding Pastor Ken Werlein brings a word out of 2 Samuel with a story about David and Bathsheba. Like David, when temptation creeps in, and the small compromises we make are left unchecked, they will turn into big disasters. Thanks be to God their story became a reminder to all of us that God can work all things together for the good of those who love Him and that no sin is too great for God's grace. 

In today’s message, David finds himself in a cave again. Even though he might have found discouragement there, he actually finds development instead. Bible Teacher Jared Darby teaches us that David finds power in waiting for God’s will instead of grasping for it on his own.

This week Bible Teacher Dan Slagle teaches out of 1 Samuel 21, tracing David's desperate flight from the murderous King Saul. It was hiding in the caves of Adullam that David faced his greatest enemy - not Goliath or Saul, but discouragement. By admitting his brokenness and placing his hope in God, David persevered. Caves come in many forms, but God meets us there; the same God who raised Jesus from the dead can bring us out of our personal caves with renewed hope.
