What does it take to be a great leader? Despite what the books say, the secret isn’t in how early you wake up or how many biographies you consume — it’s how you conduct yourself. So where do you start? Join Elevation YTH as we explore the life of David to learn how to lead in a way that leaves a legacy.

A series by Heidi Wysman. David was anointed king at the tender age of 17, but only sat on the throne at 30. That’s a long gap but during those years David learned how to handle crises, love his enemies, honour authority, do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with his God. It was an important refining and training time. By the time David became king of Israel, his security was firmly rooted in God’s goodness and justice. God had proved Himself to be faithful time and again in the past, and now David’s confidence in God was unshakable.

The world in is in turmoil. The struggle for power, control and influence is at an all-time high. You don’t have to leave home to see the chaos that is around us. There is a cry for authentic leadership. Who will rise up and point the way? In this 5-day devotional by Gladson Musonda, we focus on the role that men play in this void of authentic leadership.

In Genesis 3:15 GW, God directly tells Satan, “I will make you and the woman hostile toward each other. I will make your descendants and her descendant hostile toward each other. He will crush your head, and you will bruise his heel.” This prophetic verse holds God’s powerful plan to restore our severed relationship with Him: Jesus, who defeated the enemy for good by dying on the cross and being raised from death. Because of His sacrifice, we have the power to crush the head of Satan in our own lives. Join me in this seven-day plan as we take an in-depth look at what it means to walk with Jesus in victory, even when our heels are bruised. 

The bucket list that satisfies the heart is fulfilling the purposes of God. As we fall in love with Him, seek to know Him, and remain faithful to Him, His purposes will find us. From that space, we can die “done” with a bucket list checked off and a life fulfilled.

With the death of King David, Israel came under the leadership of Solomon. Although Solomon possessed incredible wealth and wisdom, his idolatry and unfaithfulness lead to derision and division in the kingdom. Despite Solomon and Israel's sinfulness, God continued to preserve the Davidic line in anticipation of the greater coming King, Jesus Christ.

By the end of this study, we pray that you will know God’s voice better, that you will know when and how he speaks, and feel compelled to obey. As we study Scripture, we will discover that God’s plan cannot be thwarted regardless of who is in power. The point of the original monarchy found in 1 and 2 Samuel, illustrates that from the beginning.

From Genesis to Revelation, “God’s Redemption Story” outlines the narrative of God’s plan for the reconciliation of humanity. This 12-part reading plan summarizes the story of the Bible. Judges through 2 Samuel continues the story of Israel's rise as a nation and seeing God use unlikely people to establish His plan and purposes.

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Five of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled 'David’s Decline, Solomon’s Reign, 1023 BC–980 BC'.

After centuries of conquest and struggle, King David united the twelve tribes of Israel into a kingdom and led them into a golden era as a nation. 1 and 2 Kings recounts what happened over the next 400 years: from the prosperity of Solomon's reign, to civil war and the construction of temples, to worshipping other gods. Through it all, the books point to this resounding truth—Our God Reigns.
