They say comparison kills but when we look at what we need God to do in our lives, comparing what we have at our disposal to what we need done can simply tear us up and discourage us. It's in these times that God can and does intervene and we realize that nothing is too small for Him!

We always think of small as insignificant, but thankfully God doesn't think the same way! This morning we look at Elijah and his response to things in life that seemed too small to be impactful but were just the opposite in reality!

It's an important thing to remember that God doesn't place the same importance on things that we as people do. God is never concerned with the appearance of a person, situation or problem because He sees the whole picture. It's safe to say that what God didn't give mankind in size, He gave in strength and wisdom!

Children can often be the source of challenges throughout life and David was no stranger to family issues. For David though, his children were often a blind spot in his leadership as king as we'll see this morning. We can learn from these situations and make sure we're not falling victim to blindspots within our families!

Sometimes we have to give up some things to move into what God has for us in life - David was no different! Some very specific things happened in David's life to allow him the success and favor he had from God. Let's learn from him together!

One of the greatest reasons David is an enigma is the fact that God calls him a man after His own heart, despite the major shortcomings we see in David's life! Today we look at some aspects of David that played a part in God continuing to give David that title despite his failings.

David is one of the most compelling figures in all of Scripture! He was a giant killer, King, a musician, an author and a man after God's own heart. With a resume like his, it's hard to imagine that he'd simultaneously be known for some of the biggest failures we see throughout Scripture, one of which was his Cover-up found in 2 Samuel.

This morning we take some time to look at some of the Hebrew words that describe Worship. Often times, the Hebrew definitions provide a more expressive look at the word being defined. We'll be challenged by the differing ways we can look at the meaning of worship!

It would seem that the practice of worship would have changed greatly since the Old Testament and while there are certainly elemental differences, the fundamentals of worship are greatly unchanged. Worship is only who we sing, but how we live, honor God and love others!

Worship is a heart decision that ultimately comes down to gratitude. This morning Pastor Kevin touches on the connection between worship and gratitude and challenges us with some practical ways we can grow a Heart of Worship.
