Despite some of his narcissistic tendencies, King David would have died for Absalom his son. Yet there is a greater man David points to in his desire to die sacrificially, and that is Jesus our Messiah.

Satan wins when we despise one another. He wins when we no longer see the image of God in others. He wins when we hide ourselves from God because of our sins.

On the story of David & Bathsheba & feeding of the 5,000, God calls us to challenge scarcity mindset prevalent in our culture today & explore how true fulfillment & satisfaction comes from our faith & relationship with God.

God dwells among us: in the Ark, in the Temple, in Jesus, in the Spirit. He does not stand far-off but has drawn close, close enough to touch.

Two stories of dancing: one party ends with John’s disciples laying his body in a tomb, & the other with all of Israel under King David joyfully returning home.

In the tragic tale of the beheading of John the Baptist, is it possible to find a glimmer of hope? What can we glean about the Kingdom of Heaven in the relationship between John the Baptist and Herod?

Storms of cultural clashes sometimes steal our peace and make it difficult to stay in the boat of faith with our fellow Jesus followers. How can we find the deep peace of Jesus during these turbulent times?
