What does it take to grow as a Christian? What are we supposed to do? In this mini-series, we're working through the "ordinary means of grace," looking at the common, easily available things that God uses to grow us and mature us by his grace.

This week, we look at the Word: why is it a means of grace, and how can we actually enjoy it?

How does David respond after being exposed for his sin? How should we?

This week we look at the story of David and Bathsheba, asking how David could have gone so far astray. What does this reveal about sin in our own lives?

What does a right response to the grace of God in our lives look like? Where does the power to respond in that way come from?

Last time we looked at the Ark coming into Jerusalem, asking what happens when God comes into the center of our lives? This week we're looking at David's desire to build a "house" for God, and asking the question "how do we relate to God? If he's at the center, what is that relationship like?"

This week we skip ahead to the time when David is king over Israel. One of his first acts is to bring the Ark of the Covenant back to the center of the nation. But what happens to us when we invite God into the center of our lives?

About half of the psalms contain an element of lament, but what does it mean to lament? Why do we struggle to do it? What might it sound like in our personal prayer life and corporate worship?

What is friendship? What stands in the way of our friendships? How can we be freed to be committed, present, and vulnerable as we build friendships with others?

This week we look at the familiar story of David and Goliath, asking how it fits into the bigger story of Scripture and points to Jesus' victory before it points to our own personal struggle against the giants of our lives.

This week we start out our new sermon series looking at the life of David. Listen in as we meet him for the first time when Samuel anoints him as the next king of Israel.
