Conflict With God Part 2
September 16, 2022
What can we do when God allows circumstances that confound us? When the Lord killed a man helping get the ark to Jerusalem, King David found that God is not a manageable deity. In this message, we discover three lessons to help manage our anger, rather than the Almighty. God can handle whatever we bring to Him.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Is it ever okay to be angry with God? We are usually angry at God because we know that behind our difficult circumstances, there is God. In this message from 2 Samuel 6, we consider two truths to help us process our anger like King David. Bitterness only separates us from the help we need.

God often uses stressful situations to get our attention and set us back on track. In Israel, David’s hometown was destroyed by fire and his family captured. In this message from Psalm 18, we consider two lessons from David’s return to God. Anyone who’s strayed from the path can turn back to God.

We sometimes look to our most dangerous enemy to meet a need only God can. David fell so far that he joined Israel’s enemy army for a time. In this message, we review key narratives of David’s flight from Saul from 1 Samuel 24-27. What happens when we run from God to other fortresses instead?

We’d like to think that our Christian leaders always walk on the mountaintop and never have times far from the Lord. But it’s not so. Like King David, they fail. In this message, we take away three lessons from David’s experience of doubt and despair. We too can come out of a deep spiritual ditch.

When we fail to trust God, sin tightens its grip on us. While on the run for his life, David lied, starting a cycle of turmoil. In this message from Psalm 34, we see two pictures of David—one in a panic and another in prayer. Rather than sliding into despair, let’s face our doubt and win.

Relational conflict steals our peace and even our sleep. David’s long road to the throne was blocked by Saul, who attempted to kill him with a spear. In this message, we recognize three traits of a spear-thrower. While Saul tried to hold onto his kingdom, David humbly waited and trusted that God’s promises would come to pass.

Too often, we cling to our lives and our possessions as if they belong to us, not God. This was Saul’s posture towards the kingdom God had entrusted to him. In this message, we distinguish three contrasts between King Saul’s character versus David’s. David begins to endure a long period of conflict, running as a fugitive while Saul burns with jealousy.

The giants we face can make us feel utterly outmatched. Why was it that David was able to withstand his giant when nobody else was? In this message, we find three lessons to help us face our giants with a God-sized imagination. Whether ours is a decisive victory or a drawn-out battle, no giant is bigger than God.

When we face insurmountable obstacles, we often ask, “Where is God?” David faced a literal giant named Goliath. In this message from 1 Samuel 17, we paint the picture of the pagan giant and the paralyzed army. What if our seemingly giant-sized problems are ultimately not the issue?

God chose David unexpectedly because of the integrity of his heart—not his outward appearance. If we were choosing a king, we would naturally choose a warrior not a teenage boy who tends sheep. In this message, we ponder the characteristics of the heart that God saw in David. What is the state of our hearts?
