From shepherd to king, the life of David reminds us that every season has purpose. His victories, failures, worship, and repentance all pointed beyond himself—to the eternal Kingdom of God and the coming of Jesus Christ.

Even at the end of his life, David’s story wasn’t about an ending, but about a promise fulfilled.

Following the story of the man after God's heart, Malcolm Bisset explores what it means for us to give God all our heart, body and soul.

Through the painful story of David and Absalom, this message explores the lessons of God’s Kingdom revealed in moments of betrayal, loss, and deep sorrow. David’s response to rebellion, broken relationships, and suffering shows us how God shapes His servants, establishes His Kingdom, and remains sovereign even when everything seems to fall apart. In times of pain, God is still teaching, ruling, and fulfilling His purposes.

The story of David and Bathsheba reminds us that the Kingdom of God is not built by perfect people, but by repentant hearts. Even in the midst of sin, guilt, and consequences, God wrote a story of redemption. Where failure seemed to have the final word, grace spoke louder. God does not ignore sin, but turns repentance into restoration and purpose. In His Kingdom, our falls do not define the end.
Redemption defines the future.

Mephibosheth’s story shows us how mercy changes everything. He was living in weakness and obscurity, yet David chose to show him kindness and restore what had been lost. That moment wasn’t about his condition, but about the heart of the king.

In the same way, God meets us with mercy every day. Through Jesus, we see a love that doesn’t turn away from our brokenness, but moves towards it. Christ was willing to give His life so we could be brought close, restored, and welcomed into the life God has for us.

This message explores God’s covenant with David and the way Old Testament promises often have both an immediate and a greater future fulfillment in Christ. Using the image of a mountain range and a “valley of time,” it reminds us that delays do not mean denial. Even when God’s promises seem cut down to a stump, the root is still alive. Jesus, the Son of David, is the ultimate fulfillment of every promise God has spoken, calling us to trust Him faithfully while we wait for what He has promised to come to pass.

In this message, we hear a powerful message about belonging. Kathy Chapman shares her own journey — from feeling out of place, insecure, and unsure, to realizing that God had placed her exactly where she was meant to be.

Through the story of Jesus’ birth, the disciples, and her personal experiences, she reminds us that Christmas is God’s announcement that there is room for every one of us.

You belong, not because of perfection, not because you earned it, but because God chose to come close, step into our chaos, and invite us into His family.

This message is a reflection on identity, purpose, and the love that finds us even when we feel lost.

Reflecting on the Kingdom together as a family!
We had a beautiful morning of pausing and reflecting on all that God has been teaching us about His Kingdom through the life of David. We looked back at the journey we’ve been on, seeing how God has been shaping us through lessons of waiting, trusting, lamenting, community, covenant friendship, obedience, honesty, and faith.

From caves to kingship, from hidden seasons to public victories, David’s story has reminded us that God is always forming Kingdom people in the everyday moments of life. This Sunday we took time to listen, to share, and to acknowledge what He’s been speaking to each of us.
