In today’s conversation, we’re going to watch David wait patiently for God to be the one to elevate him, and we’ll be inspired by David’s determination not to take the throne by his own means, but to wait on God to move him into position His way and in His timing. We’ll analyze how the end of David’s season of waiting likely included both joy and pain, and we'll be moved to gratitude as we ponder the truth that within our own seasons of waiting, there are always cherishable moments which sprinkle blessing into our trials. We’ll be convicted by David’s commitment to honor the one who went before him—not only in action, but also in speech—and we’ll confront our own tendency to justify dishonor and slander in the name of discernment or righteousness. We’ll see the readiness of God to lead clearly when He’s opened a door—and we’ll understand the simple, yet profound necessity of simply asking Him what to do next. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let’s dive into the conversation.

In today’s conversation, we’re going to follow David into his time of hiding and see how he maintained his purity of heart—and strength of mind—during this time in his life. We’re going to take a deep dive into the heart of David, as we compare his story to his psalms. God Himself called David “a man after my own heart,” and we are able to get a unique perspective into the heart of David because he authored so many of the psalms. We’ll discover the intrinsic connection between our heart and our mind; and we’ll get a visual of how the formula for peace prescribed by Paul in Philippians 4 is exemplified in real life through the psalms of David. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let’s dive into the conversation.

In today’s conversation, we’re going to follow David through the events which took him from the battlefield and the palace to the wilderness and the cave—from being the man favored by King Saul to being the man hunted by King Saul. We’ll discuss the extraordinary blessing of divine friendship as we watch God weave David and Jonathan’s hearts together, and we’ll marvel at the biblical characteristics this friendship displays. We’ll see the accelerated downward spiral of King Saul as his jealousy supersedes his judgment, and we’ll discover some ways to identify red flags in our own hearts as we compare the heart of this crazed king to the heart of his selfless son. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let’s dive into the conversation.
