Sermon Series: Dave in Real Life
Ol’ Dave was a wild one. His name may be a bit boring, but his life was the complete opposite.
He did it all - slayed a giant, fought on the front line in gruesome battles, regularly talked with God, conquered kingdoms like it was going out of style.
But what happened along the way? Yeah, he had a lot of success, but what did he struggle with? What ran through his head as he laid in his bed trying to fall asleep? What happened day-to-day that shaped him into a leader worth following?
Find out during “Dave in Real Life: Life Lessons from the Stories of King David,” May 23 through August 1.
Don’t be fooled by his name - Dave was no ordinary guy.
Join us Wednesdays to find out more. Middle school meets in the Epicenter from 6:00-7:30 p.m. and high school meets in the Apex from 6:30-8:00 p.m. You don’t want to miss these life stories.
