Shaped by God – Lessons from David’s Life - 8 Sessions

We are drawn in the attempt to understand the commitment to God and the heart of David, a man who lived in raw honesty and deep trust with God. His life, marked by courage, humility, and spiritual intimacy, raises questions about what shaped his character and how God was at work in him. This study will explore both the psalms and the life of David to uncover how God’s presence shaped him—and how it can shape us as well. Ultimately, it’s a journey not just into David’s story, but into understanding the God who walked closely with him and still walks with us today.
