David would become a great king, but he never confused himself with the greatest king. Scripture 1 & 2 Samuel selections.

David finds himself with a choice to return evil for evil, or listen to the wise council and return good for evil. Scripture: 1 Samuel 25

When we feel angry, alone, or afraid we usually don't have the best judgement and often make our biggest mistakes. David made a colossal mistake at a time when he was angry, alone, and afraid. Scripture: 1 Samuel 20-22 (selections)

The Christian version of the saying, "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps" is this: "God helps those who help themselves." But... is that even really Christian? There's something sort of like it in 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12, but the cliche "God Helps Those Who Help Themselves" is a half truth.

Taken at face value, this cliche seems good and right. After all, Jesus loved sinful people, and sin is a bad thing. But, this cliche sounds very different depending on which side of the table you are sitting on. Scripture: Matthew 7:1-5

Probably the most popular cultural Christian cliche, "Everything Happens For A Reason." Sounds really nice... sometimes, but do we really mean that EVERY THING has a reason behind it? Scripture: Romans 8:28

The Bible is foundational for our Christian faith, however, it's not always easy to understand. Second message in our series, "True or False?" Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16-17

New Message Series! Examining some the cultural Christian cliches to see what's true and what's false. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13

There are no misfits at the manger of Jesus, because there is nobody who does not belong. Scripture: Luke 2:1-20.

Fourth and final message in our series, "She Doesn't Belong Here". Mary was not who you would expect to be the mother of God, and yet God chose her. Scripture: Luke 1:46-55
