A series on King David: Part 3 of 4
David sinned when he wasn’t doing what he was supposed to be doing; when he had pulled back from God’s calling. We have to be careful of comfort and of being distracted, because it leads to a place of being unfaithful. Instead, we have to keep moving forward in God’s will, which can regularly take us to less comfortable places. We’re called to lay down our lives — to endure the crosses of life and get to heaven. It’s not easy…but God’s faithfulness far outweighs our unfaithfulness.
Remember: there are certain things the Lord does that he doesn’t take back, like free will. The same is true with anointing. Keep choosing to do what you’re supposed to be doing, and be faithful to the Father who is always faithful to you.

Rending the Heavens | Lent 2022
Sometimes Lent is a missed opportunity. We focus too much on what we’re going to give up, what we’re going to do, etc. This year, focus on our desire to have a Lent that brings us into contact with Jesus. Where are we going, and why are we going there? Jesus…

Jesus’s Favorite Things: Lowliness
What does lowliness mean to you and God? The experience of lowliness can sometimes be what we dislike about ourselves. These are times when we’re not doing great or not rich or attractive—these are usually the parts we reject about ourselves. But part of the mystery is that in this lowliness, God mainly manifests His love for us and reveals His heart for us, and Jesus embodies this kind of lowliness. In this…
