Discovering Refreshing Intimacy with God
The Bible refers to David, the ancient king of Israel and composer of many of the Psalms, as "a man after God's own heart." Even though his life was filled with unexpected twists and turns, and despite his horrific choices of adultery and murder, David's journey kept his heart close to God's. There is something about this former shepherd's courage, compassion, and humility that captures the Lord's passion and offers us an example of how to live in deep intimacy with our Creator despite our circumstances. Join us on Sunday mornings as we discover this refreshing intimacy.
