Our seventh and final question from Jesus demands a response and invites us to confess what we believe to be true about the Son of Man. 

Advent is the sacrament of every person's search.

Jesus' fifth question calls us to assess our need and stirs in us a desire to take hold of what Jesus has to offer

Jesus stops along the way to the cross and offers a question to call us to recognition and to faith.

Our third question from Jesus invites us into a deeper understanding of what he has done for us.

Today we explore our second question from Jesus that reveals our desperate need for vision. Do we have vision? How do we get vision?

Today we begin a seven week journey to Christ's birth guided by seven questions from Jesus that prepare our hearts for his arrival. Jesus' question today is a bit unsettling but reveals an important lesson.

Today we come to know that a proper acknowledgement of death positions us to be blessed by an encounter with the resurrection (aka, the rest of the story!)

Through strategic use of poetry and metaphor in a heartfelt prayer, David reveals the mark he’s leaving on this world. To where/to whom is David going to direct the world’s attention?

Today we explore three biblical truths about suffering. The first truth is, suffering happens (John 16:33). The second is, suffering cannot overpower an all powerful God (Romans 8:31-39), and the third truth, Suffering is seminary (2 Corinthians 1:3-5).

This morning, watch as we confront our need for fathers and more importantly watch as a beautiful portrait of our Heavenly Father comes into focus. A Father who has the ability to forgive and restore through his deeds and through his words.

This morning we explore six verbs. Six bold requests by David of God that reveal God’s power to forgive and fully restore.

David’s sin shows us that the way to God’s forgiveness comes through staying in the story, by recognizing our own sin, and by holding onto our identity in Christ.

After we sit at Jesus' feet, what might He have us do? Watch what David does this morning to help answer this question.

Today, we will focus on 3 key statements in David's prayer that reveal a shift in his thinking, revealing humility, gratitude, and a desire to see God glorified. How did David get here? How can we experience a similar shift?

In our 'Spiritual Greenhouse' message several weeks ago, we were challenged to see the story of David as a story of growth, which allows us to see our story as one of growth. Only God can grow us by His Spirit and we can participate. Today we explore 6 ways we can participate in God's growth of our lives.

The wisdom from David's story today reveals that before we do for God, we first must consult God and seek to understand what He is up to so that we can be in step with Him so that we can draw attention to Him and His works.

Today we witness a seasonal shift in David's life and in it we are given a clear picture of how obedience and freedom go hand in hand and we’re also given a practical definition of worship.

The tragedy in today’s scripture teaches us two sobering lessons. The first; There’s a difference between good intentions and actual obedience, and second; It’s dangerous to try and take charge of God.

David’s act of bringing the Ark to Jerusalem invites the church to assess our true focal point.

This morning, David's story is a powerful anticipation of the messiah's ultimate victory.
