Reasons to praise
Psalm 65 reminds us that praise belongs to God because of who He is and what He has done. As the God who answers prayer, forgives sin, rules over every power and nation, saves His people, and faithfully provides for their every need, He alone is worthy of our praise.

Family fallout
In this message, Pastor Duncan explores the devastating ripple effects of unchecked sin through the lives of King David, Amnon, Tamar, and Absalom. What happens when sin is left unchecked, leaders remain silent, and bitterness is allowed to grow. It reminds us that sin never stays contained; it spreads, destroys and leaves lasting damage in its wake. Yet, even in the darkness, we are reminded of our need for a better King, Jesus, who brings justice, healing and hope.

My sin is always before me
In this message, Pastor Pete reminds us that sin can blind even the godliest of people, but genuine repentance opens the door to God’s grace. Though David’s sins were serious, they did not define his future. God restored him and preserved a legacy that points to His power of forgiveness and redemption.

David’s sin. God’s grace
2 Samuel 11 describes David’s sin and how far David has fallen from being a man after God’s own heart. It also shows however that God’s grace is big enough for the sinner but also for those sinned against. (Trigger warning as this message touches on issues of sexual violence and assault. )

A seat at the King’s table
2 Samuel 9 is one of the clearest pictures of God's grace in the Old Testament. Mephibosheth, a broken and forgotten descendant of Saul, expects judgement from King David but instead receives kindness, restoration, provision, and a permanent place at the king's table. As we explore this chapter together, we'll see how David's treatment of Mephibosheth points to God's amazing grace toward us through Jesus Christ.
