Four Days in the Life of David

What does an authentic life lived in relationship with God look like? David is described as a man after God's own heart. Yet he was not perfect—he led a life that was at times heroic and at other times all too human. He conquered foes and built a kingdom, and yet disappointed his wife, committed adultery, neglected his children and then lost his kingdom for a time. But through it all, he was at God's doorstep sharing his life in the most impassioned way. This study will explore the interplay between the story of David's life as found in I & II Samuel, with the inner life of David as found in the songs and heart-felt cries of the Psalms. In the process we will discuss what it means to live a life of successes and failures, yet always in concert with God’s will for our lives.
