For eleven weeks we've followed David's rise from humble shepherd to Israel's greatest king—but in 2 Samuel 11, everything changes. In this message, we examine David's affair with Bathsheba, his attempt to cover up his sin, and the devastating consequences that followed. More importantly, we discover that moral failure rarely happens overnight; it's often the result of a slow drift away from God's ways. This Bible study offers a sobering warning about unchecked lust, the dangers that often accompany success, and the importance of guarding our hearts long before temptation arrives. While David's story exposes the destructive power of sin, it also reminds us that repentance and redemption are still available to those who turn back to God.

As David remembers his covenant with Jonathan, he searches for someone to show kindness to—and finds Mephibosheth, a broken man living in a barren place. In this message from 2 Samuel 9, we discover the powerful meaning of "hesed"—God's faithful, covenant love—and see how David's kindness points us to the greater kindness of King Jesus. This isn't just an inspiring story of compassion; it's a picture of the Gospel, reminding us that we are welcomed into God's family, restored to our inheritance, and invited to the King's table, not because we've earned it, but because of His unfailing love and grace.

In one of the most unusual and debated passages in all of Scripture, Saul seeks guidance from a medium after years of rejecting God's voice. As fear and desperation drive him to consult the dead, we discover the tragic consequences of looking for direction anywhere but the Lord. This message explores 1 Samuel 28, the dangers of occult and counterfeit spiritual practices, and God's desire for His children to be led by the Holy Spirit rather than superstition, fear, or human intermediaries. Through Saul's failure and David's example, we're reminded that because of Jesus, we can come boldly to God ourselves and find the guidance, peace, and fellowship our hearts were created for.
In 1 Samuel 25, David finds himself at a crossroads between wisdom and foolishness. Grieving the loss of Samuel and wounded by Nabal's insults, David is ready to take revenge into his own hands—until God uses the wisdom, humility, and courage of Abigail to stop him from making a devastating mistake. In this message, The Fool and the King, we discover that the same battle exists within each of us. Will we live according to the flesh, driven by anger, pride, and offense? Or will we surrender to the Spirit and choose humility, peace, and wisdom? Join us as we explore how God uses His people to speak truth into our lives and call out the kingly character He is forming within us.
David had every reason to get even. Hunted by King Saul, hiding in a cave, and finally given what looked like the perfect opportunity to end his suffering, David chose a different path. In this message from 1 Samuel 24, we explore what it means to honor imperfect people, resist the pull of revenge, trust God with justice, and discover the peace that comes from leaving vengeance at the foot of the cross. Because sometimes the greatest victories aren't won by striking back—they're won by choosing honor.
When God is with you — you cannot fail. Join Pastor Allen Nolan LIVE as he opens 1 Samuel 18 and reveals how David went from national hero to Saul's most wanted enemy, and why God's presence made every scheme against him backfire.
When life gets hard, what soundtrack are you listening to? As David fled from King Saul, hiding in houses, churches, caves, and wilderness places, he didn't stop singing—he turned his songs into prayers. In this message, we explore how music led Saul deeper into jealousy, but led David closer to God. Through the biblical practice of lament, David teaches us how to bring our pain, fear, disappointment, and confusion honestly before the Lord while choosing to trust Him. If you're walking through a difficult season, discover how worship can become your prayer and how God can meet you even in the darkest caves of life.
In this message from 1 Samuel 18, we look at the dangerous “ear worm” that took hold of King Saul's heart—jealousy, insecurity, comparison, and offense. As David's popularity grew, Saul allowed envy to consume him, damaging his relationship with David and opening the door to bitterness and fear. Through Saul's downfall and David's wise response under unfair leadership, we're challenged to deal with jealousy before it destroys us, refuse to live offended, and keep honoring God even in difficult seasons. Most importantly, we see how Jesus models a completely different kind of leadership—one that empowers others instead of competing with them.

In this message from our study through the life of David, Pastor Dave looks at the powerful covenant friendship between Jonathan and David in 1 Samuel 18. Jonathan had every reason to see David as a threat. As the crown prince, he was next in line for the throne, but instead of jealousy or competition, Jonathan chose humility, loyalty, and sacrificial love. This message explores the difference between transactional relationships and covenant relationships, showing us what it means to be a friend who protects, encourages, gives grace, and points others back to God. Ultimately, Jonathan's friendship with David points us to Jesus, who laid down His rights, humbled Himself, and gave His life for us.

In this message from 1 Samuel 17, we dive into the powerful story of David and Goliath—a battle that's about far more than a sling and a stone. Pastor Dave unpacks how David's confidence wasn't rooted in his ability, but in remembering God's past faithfulness and trusting Him in the present. When the armies of Israel were paralyzed by fear, David saw something different: a God who had already proven Himself in the private battles of the sheep pen. This message challenges us to stop fixating on the giants in front of us—whether fear, sickness, or spiritual struggles—and instead look up to the God who fights for us. Even more, we see how this story points forward to Jesus Christ, our true representative who won the ultimate victory over sin and death on our behalf. If you're facing a battle today, this message will remind you: don't forget to remember, change your focus, and trust that the battle belongs to the Lord.
David was anointed king—but instead of stepping into the palace, he was sent back to the sheep pen. In this message, we explore how God uses hidden seasons to shape our character before He elevates our calling. Through David's life in 1 Samuel 16, we see that the “classroom” of obscurity teaches us to honor authority, remain faithful over time, embrace seasons of aloneness, and cultivate deep intimacy with God. Before God promotes us publicly, He prepares us privately—and the lessons learned in the sheep pen may be the most important ones we ever receive.
Right on the heels of success, came a season where David gave up trusting in God and took matters into his own hands. We'll read about it in First Samuel twenty-seven today on Bridging the Gap. Pastor Lloyd Pulley will show us today where David went wrong, so we can avoid this sort of faith crisis ourselves

Today on Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley continues his study of First Samuel, where we find a King in training. David was no stranger to suffering, and how he handles his suffering serves as an example for us on how to handle the ups and downs of life.
In this opening message of a new series on the life of David, we begin with the surprising moment when God chooses a shepherd boy to be the next king of Israel. David's story is filled with contrasts—saint and sinner, loyal and flawed, victorious and broken—and in many ways it reflects our own spiritual journey. As we explore 1 Samuel 16, we discover that while people look at outward appearances, God looks at the heart. Through David's calling, we are reminded that God often says “no” to human expectations so He can say “yes” to His greater plan, and that each of us is chosen, known, and called by God to live for His purposes.
