The Life of David (pt16) - The Final Chapter
It’s virtually the same story that gets told over and over again. It’s the narrative arc of the Bible. And it’s the story that was ultimately realized in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus - the man who is God with us. It’s the story of the priestly king, the Creator himself, who interceded for his own people… Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them! They don’t know what they’re doing! And then,…
The Life of David (pt15) - The Return of the King
Have you ever heard of the ‘upside-down kingdom’? Jesus would often describe to his disciples what the kingdom of heaven was like, what it would look like to live as citizens of that kingdom, and how they should always remain fully awake and alert, in eager anticipation of the king’s return. This is the part of the story that foreshadows that… The return of the king, and his upside-down kingdom,…

The Life of David (pt13) - The Boy Named Peace and Beloved of God
In the wake of his sin, instead of David suffering the lawful penalty of judgement, the innocent son died for him. And… Another child was born - the boy named Peace and Beloved of God; the child through whom God’s great story of forgiveness and redemption would continue to be told. And yes, the ramifications of David’s choices would still be felt for at least three or four generations. But those…
The Life of David (pt12) - Building God's House
If God’s not served by human hands, then what are we doing when we serve God? God commands us to serve Him, but not because He needs our service. God doesn’t need you to serve Him. God doesn’t need you. But He does desire you. Because God loves you. And because it’s His nature to enjoy loving union with people – the way He’s always enjoyed loving union with the Son and the Spirit in Holy Trinity.…
Soul Drift
Have you ever been on a long journey in life, when one day you wake up and can’t quite remember why you started in the first place? SOUL DRIFT: When the truth of the gospel and your actual lived-out experience begin drift apart. Jesus will often interrupt a moment to address the soul drift that happens in our lives.
The Life of David (pt11) - Dancing and the Fear of Lord
THIS IS A PORTRAIT OF A MAN WHO HAS NOTHING TO PROVE, NO FEAR OF REJECTION, NO FAÇADE TO UPHOLD, NO REPUTATION TO PROTECT, NO EGO TO SHIELD David is simply free – free from the opinion of others and bound by his great love for the God who has been so good, mighty and faithful towards him his entire life so far. And... The context of David's mighty worship is the 'fear of the Lord.' What does…
The Life of David (pt10) – The Man of Sorrows
I believe, in many ways, we as a society have forgotten how to grieve well. Obviously, we are all very aware of the reality of pain and regret and disappointment. I think it’s fair to assume that everyone is familiar with feelings of loss and sorrow. But I think it’s also fair to say that many of us are lacking the ability and awareness to process these emotions in a way that’s actually healthy…
The Life of David (pt9) - The Tale of the Merciful King
The life of David – the man after God’s own heart – is the tale of the merciful king. And the tale of the merciful king is the story of God. It seems like no matter how you break it down, the life of David simply keeps leading us back to Jesus – the King without a crown, the Lamb of God, the Lord of the cross. ---------------- HOW CAN WE PRACTICE LIVING AS AMBASSADORS OF THE MERCIFUL KING? AS…
