Week 1 | It's Complicated (S1)

Over the next six weeks, we’re going to recognize how complicated life can be through the life and reflections of one of the most well-known figures in the history of the Jewish people, King David. As we do, we’ll look at stories from his life, while connecting those stories to some of the Psalms he would have written around the same time. We believe these connections will give us more of a 360 degree view of the complicated life that David lived, that can teach us much about our own.

In this series, we’ll touch on themes of mental health, questions of faith, spiritual disciplines, friendship, risk, and more as we address some of the nuances of our faith that lie in the grey areas of understanding ourselves, and God a little better. We’ll recognize that though life isn’t black and white, and there are always more than two sides to every story and person, God continues to meet us where we are right now with His grace. When we lean on and depend on that grace, it helps us grow more and more into the people God sees when he looks at us. But even with this growth, it’s important to recognize that we still have our scars, we still have our struggles and weaknesses, our good moments and our bad ones, and we will always need Jesus as we navigate the complicated nature of this life.
