David is one of the most compelling people in the Bible. He was a shepherd, warrior, king, and sinner. As we explore the victories and failures of David’s life, we'll discover a God who is faithful in every season and gracious to imperfect people. Most importantly, David's story points us to the greater King, Jesus, who is faithful to his promises in every season of life.

    1 Samuel 16:1-13

  • Part 8 | The gift of Repentance

    2 Samuel 12:1-14

    August 9, 2026


    After David's sin comes one of the most important moments in his life: Nathan confronts him. Nathan courageously speaks the truth, and David is brought face-to-face with his sin. This message will explore both the blessing of repentance and the blessing of having people in our lives who are willing to speak hard truths in love. What do you do when your sin is exposed? Our natural tendency is to excuse, justify, or minimize our sin, but healing and transformation begins when we bring it into the light.

As we do, we'll find three important principles that will help you face your own consequences without losing hope and without losing faith.
