This Sunday we will be discussing the later events of King David's life. He was a King who was gifted in so many ways as a leader, a follower of God, as a writer, and as a soldier. But like all of us, David also had a shadow side that came to bear in life altering ways and sent his life into a tailspin. We all have had those seasons of life too haven't we? For the sake of our sermon on Sunday, I am calling David's choices and the 'tailspin' they brought about, a "blizzard". Our message is called "A Rope in The Blizzard" and from Chapter 12 of the Story there will emerge three questions for us to ask ourselves. And if we are able to engage these questions, they will create a three strand rope that will guard, guide, and direct us when life's blizzards come. Please join me on Sunday as we worship, celebrate the New Year, and enjoy each other's company!
Blessings,
Pastor Rob
