So Saul watched David jealously from that day forward. The next day an evil spirit sent from God came powerfully on Saul, and he began to rave inside the palace. David was playing the lyre as usual, but Saul was holding a spear, and he threw it, thinking, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David got away from him twice. Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had left Saul. Therefore, Saul sent David away from him and made him commander over a thousand men. David led the troops and continued to be successful in all his activities because the LORD was with him. When Saul observed that David was very successful, he dreaded him. But all Israel and Judah loved David because he was leading their troops.

How do we fight anxiety, uncertainty, loss, grief and isolation? Are you feeling equipped and FIT for the battles you are facing? Where is your strength coming from? This Bible reading plan will help us find answers to these questions, inspired by the life of one of the best-known warrior kings of the Bible, David.
Just as your physical body has a heart, so does your spirit. This heart, while invisible to you and those around you, is perfectly visible to God. What we allow in our hearts will affect everything in our lives. David had the mind, will, and emotions of God. That is what I call victory in your heart. Devon D. Daniel, Executive Pastor
Life isn't meant to live alone. Jesus created us to live in a community. We > Me should be our mentality. No Mavericks fly in this airspace. Collaboration fuels creativity. Everyone contributes and we all have a voice. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. We clear our bench and everyone plays! Life is better together. Written by Ryan R.
