1 Samuel 27:7

Life can sometimes throw a curveball in our direction that can leave us gasping for air. In these moments, we can easily allow hopelessness to grip our hearts, but the good news is we can seek encouragement from the Lord. Let’s journey together to learn more about the life of King David and how he encouraged himself in the Lord during one of the most devastating experiences of his life.

Leading a small group is about leading people to follow Jesus, right? But what does that look like in real life? We believe it starts with following closely after Him—yourself. The LifeGroups team from Life.Church uncovers leadership principles from the life of David, who God Himself called “a man after My own heart.” Start this Bible Plan today, and take a giant step after God’s heart.

1 Samuel charts the rise and fall of several of Israel’s leaders. You’ll meet the notoriously arrogant king Saul and see the ascent of the man after God’s own heart – David. You’ll read of dangerous battles, murder plots, giants and even more surprises in this book.  You’ll see that despite turbulence in leadership, seemingly strong enemies and spiritual decay God is very much at work orchestrating the fall of the proud and the rise of the humble. What an encouragement for us today when we are faced with challenges not too dissimilar to these!
