God often uses stressful situations to get our attention and set us back on track. In Israel, David’s hometown was destroyed by fire and his family captured. In this message from Psalm 18, we consider two lessons from David’s return to God. Anyone who’s strayed from the path can turn back to God.

When God doesn’t seem to act on our behalf, many of us turn to other dependencies, like addictions or relationships. For David, he strayed from God, becoming a man of blood.

We sometimes look to our most dangerous enemy to meet a need only God can. David fell so far that he joined Israel’s enemy army for a time. In this message, we review key narratives of David’s flight from Saul from 1 Samuel 24-27. What happens when we run from God to other fortresses instead?

We’d like to think that our Christian leaders always walk on the mountaintop and never have times far from the Lord. But it’s not true. Like King David, we all fail.

The Bible is honest about human nature, even of its heroes’ failures. David is seen as a man after God’s own heart because he always cried out to God. In this message from Psalm 34, we see a picture of David in prayer in a cave. Despite our doubts, God can free us from our self-imposed madness.

When we fail to trust God, sin tightens its grip on us. While on the run from King Saul, David lied, starting a cycle of insanity. In this message from 1 Samuel 21, we see a picture of David in a panic, believing a lie of his own making. Rather than sliding into despair, let’s face our doubt and win.

Relational conflict steals our peace and even our sleep. David’s long road to the throne was blocked by Saul, who attempted to kill him with a spear. In this message, we find God’s perspective through three traits of a spear-thrower. While Saul tried to hold onto his kingdom, David humbly waited and trusted that God’s promises would come to pass.

God has ways of refining us, even though it hurts. God’s choice of David as king set in motion a twelve-year conflict with the existing king, Saul. In this message, we examine David’s posture of submission to God versus Saul’s. While Saul would not let go of his throne, God taught David lessons he could not learn in any other way.
