Welcome to an incredible journey through the life of one of the most inspiring figures in our faith—David. Over the next six months, we will dive deep into the triumphs, the failures, and the true fulfillment that marked his journey. David’s name appears over 970 times throughout the scriptures. Through his lineage, Jesus Himself would come into the world.
David’s life holds timeless significance because, at the core, we all wrestle with the same struggles, face the same challenges, and long for the same answers he did. Every week, as we unpack his story, you will be challenged to draw closer to God and live out the legacy He’s calling you to.
I believe that through this journey, we will all encounter God in a fresh, powerful way. By the end, none of us will be the same.
The best is yet to come.
