Today we start our series on the Spiritual Disciplines to help up take our next steps with Jesus Christ. We focus on the foundational verse this morning... Colossians 2:6-7.
We have come full circle from the beginning of 1 Samuel and our look at the life of David. Israel wanted an earthly king to bring them identity, security, and happiness... and after two kings, they are still looking for it. 2 Samuel 24
One of the big lies that many people believe today is... "my choices only affect me." - looking at David's life after his choices in 2 Samuel 11-12 we will see that is NOT TRUE. Today we look at 2 Samuel 13-21 in the "Life of David"
Never underestimate the power of sin, our ability to rationalize sin, or the consequences of sin. But never underestimate God’s saving grace given to us through Jesus Christ, the perfect King we all need.
Today we will walk through the bitter end of Israel’s first king. King Saul held such promise in the beginning. But the longer he reigned, the more it became clear that he wanted God’s blessing much more than he wanted God. And Saul isn’t alone: In the church today, many people seem destined to miss heaven by 18 inches—the distance between your head and your heart.
