What do we do when the community around us aren't quite the people we were hoping for? Preaching from the story of David in the Cave of Adullam, Pastor Glenn Packiam calls us to cultivate the friendships we have, trusting God to be at work in surprising ways. Jesus Himself gathered all the marginalized and the misfits and brought them in with a healing inclusivity. The Church-the people gathered and formed in Jesus's name-is to do the same.

What does a loyal kind of love look like? We may feel like our early relationships of intimacy - like the homes we grew up in - have doomed us to dysfunctional relationships. Preaching from 1 Samuel 20, Pastor Glenn Packiam shows how the story of Jonathan and David's friendship reveals what steadfast love looks like, how steadfast love for others always points towards God's steadfast love for us in Christ, and how God's steadfast love enables our steadfast love for others.

Saul envies David and seeks to destroy him, but Jonathan loves David and seeks his good. Pastor Jason Jackson unpacks these contradictory reactions and challenges us to consider how we respond to the strengths and success of others.
