Message: “A Song of Deliverance” from Andy Burnham

David, as an older man, looks back over his life and praises God for deliverance from all his enemies. If there is one thing he has learned over his many years of walking with the Lord, it is this: if he calls upon the Lord, the Lord will come to his rescue. The Lord will save him. The question is: do we believe that God can and will do the same for us?

Scripture References: 2 Samuel 22:1-51

From Series: "A Life of Passion: The Story of David"

Who am I? Who is God? These are two of the most pressing questions of human existence. All throughout life, we struggle to find our own identity and we yearn to know what more is out there. The Bible tells a detailed story of one man who helps us to wrestle with those questions: the ancient King of Israel, David. David is one of the most important characters in the biblical story. He is the favorite King, the repentant sinner, the fearless warrior, and the soulful poet. He led the ancient people of God during their golden years. He is a forerunner to the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who would create a new people of God, saved through faith. And yet, David is a mystery. Sometimes his actions are inspiringly noble. Other times, he is shockingly evil. What are we to make of this man? How can an adulterer and murderer be described as "a man after God's own heart?" For ten months, we will follow the story of David. We will wonder at his integrity and grieve his failures. But through it all, we will see a life of passion. We will see a man who walks with God, in success and failure. And we will walk with God in our own complex lives. Join us as we embark on a journey to discover ourselves and God in the story of David. May we become "men and women after God's own heart."
