Pastor Gregg highlights 4 times in David's life when demonstrated how to be a God-honoring friend. We are encouraged to come to Jesus. It is because of the friendship we have in Him that we can be a good friend to someone else.

In David’s life we see that he had an unlikely trial, an unlikely teacher, and unlikely timing. Like David, we all face unlikely trials in our life and seasons of wilderness. Let the wilderness teach you to put your hope in God and trust Him and His timing completely.

What is one giant in your life? Give it to the Lord, and trust that, in His timing and in His power, the giant in your life will fall. Victory is in the Lord!

The choosing of David shows us that the obvious choice is not always God’s choice. Just as David was unlikely, so are we, but God chose us! Let’s be faithful where we are and know that God sees our hearts and can take us wherever He wants us to be.

There is an existential crisis in the world today, and we need to care. We need to speak the word of life and share our lives. As we invite people in to see the gospel lived out in our own lives, a city and a culture can change. Ask the Lord for open doors this week and the courage to walk through them.

In life, we won’t always have clarity nor understanding, but we can trust. We can trust God and walk by faith because God sees it all; He understands it all; and He is all together good. In whatever your area of need, trust Him and obey Him in full surrender today.

How do we have unshakeable confidence? It is in our God’s provision, presence, and promise. Let’s get our confidence in Him and pass it on, so that we can make a difference in our city, nation, and world.

When you are walking in the will of God, you can expect opposition to come. Choose to remain focused on your assignment though, and guard your heart and your mouth. Live for the audience of one, and when the naysayers come, just keep walking.

On Independence Day, Dr. John Tyler from Houston Baptist University looks at how America's founding documents reflect a desire to pursue the Great Commission. He shares stories of people who persevered against great odds to ensure religious liberties, and how believers must continue to do so today.

There are circumstances in each of our lives that are harder than we thought or taking longer than we thought. In these things, you need perseverance and you need focus. Fix your eyes on the race set before you and keep the end in mind. In Jesus there is provision of His power, His strength, and His joy. Stay close to Him, and just keep walking.
