This Side of the Ceiling

Today, we begin a new study and a new season of "This Side of the Ceiling." We will be studying the book of James. I hope you join us as we dive into what James has to teach us.

Today, we are in-between studies so we thought we would explain some things behind the podcast. Enjoy!

Join us today as we finish our study of David. We desire to have a heart after God's own heart. We learned from David that this is possible.

Today, David flees again for his life. His son, Absalom, has a conspiracy against him. He turns to God and we get to read his "journal."

Today, we continue the story of David. This story is not a well-known story, but we get to see David's heart and how he listens. We also get to see another characteristic of God!

Today, we move forward in the story of David and take a look at his children. Amnon, Tamar, and Absalom have a difficult story. The sword hasn't departed from David's household.

Join us today as we dive into David's "journal." We will revisit the story of David and Bathsheba and look at Psalm 51. David is a man after God's own heart and today we see what David is thinking as he deals with his sin.

Today, David is confronted by Nathan with his sin. David, who's a man after God's own heart, is convicted and confesses.

Join us today as we continue to study David. Today, David messes up! We will leave David in a hard place and understand that a man after God's own heart still sins. Bathsheba is caught in the middle of this sin and consequences follow them. This episode leaves David as a man who needs forgiveness.

Join us as we continue the study of David. Today, David has an interaction with Mephibosheth, Jonathan's son.

Join us today as David becomes king. We'll also look at our King of Kings that has the supremacy.

Join us today as we continue our study of David. We jump into 2 Samuel and David asking God and being sent to Hebron, a city of refuge.

Join us as we begin 2 Samuel and continue following the life of David. Today, David receives word that Saul has died. What is David's reaction? We'll study that today and look at David's fear of the Lord.

Join us as we continue to study David. The men of Jabesh-Gilead come to give Saul a proper burial. Why do they do this? We will look back at one of Saul's finest moments to understand the kindness that shines through in today's story.

Join us again today as we continue our journey with David. Today, David and his people are going to experience real pain. Where do we go? What do we do when pain happens? David is a man after God's own heart and turns to God for his strength.

Join us as we study the life of David. David is still on the run for his life and, today, we leave him in a hard situation. Life is hard for David, but God is forging a king.

Join us today as we look at an interaction between David and Abigail. We hear Abigail give David advice and we see David as he listens. We see another evidence of David as a man after God's own heart!

This week, we are taking a "pause" on our study of David and diving into the Christmas story. What a blessing to anticipate Jesus' birth and focus this season on the gift God gave us!

Today, we follow David into the cave. David is fleeing for his life and God is going to forge a king in the cave. David listens when his heart strikes him and we get another picture of how David is a man after God's own heart.

Join us as we continue our study of David. Today we learn about David's friend, Jonathan. God knew David would need a friend and he gave him, Jonathan.

We are studying the life of David. This week, Saul turns on David and David doesn't understand why. David runs to wise counsel and learns that God has a bigger plan.
