David - Profiles of An Authentic Life
Women's Bible Study Spring 2024
Authentic Forgiveness
April 17, 2024 • Hannah Gallagher • 2 Samuel 16
How authentic was the forgiveness you gave to the last person who hurt you? Did you first talk to them? Did you check out the facts? Or, like David, were you quick to believe and respond in anger based on what is probably and untruth. There is a great lesson to be learned here.
David's Tragic Fall
April 10, 2024 • Ariana Ryan • 2 Samuel 11, 2 Samuel 12, Psalm 32, Psalm 51, Ephesians 6:10–18
God's great forgiveness is wonderful news but we must also heed the warning that comes along with it. Sin, even forgiven sin, has consequences. Main scriptures referenced are Psalm 32, psalm51, Ephesians 6:10-18
When The Heart Speaks
March 20, 2024 • Kristie Gallagher • 1 Samuel 27, 2 Chronicles 16:9
The Old Testament has such great stories about walking in faith and despite failures in the lives of those people the God of the OT was faithful to them nonetheless. When David fell he always turned back to the Lord. God is not looking for perfection, but to someone who will return to HIM when we fall away in sin.
Authentic Mercy
March 13, 2024 • Kristie Gallagher • 1 Samuel 24, 1 Samuel 26
We expect everything without waiting for it. Amazon can deliver AirPods in a matter of days (although, not always when they promise them), but Salvation takes waiting on the Lord. Follow Kristie as she explores the Mercy that David knew that came from the LORD.
A Deep, Abiding Friendship
March 6, 2024 • Kimberly Williams • 1 Samuel 18, 1 Samuel 23, 1 Samuel 20
Jonathan and David had a deep and abiding friendship despite difficulties setting obstacles in their way. This study is set up as an overview of these chapters about the story of their long, loving friendship.
David and Goliath: Everyday Faithfulness
February 28, 2024 • Ariana Ryan • 1 Samuel 17
David's everyday faithfulness as a shepherd boy is just as important as his extraordinary faithfulness in defending Israel against the Philistine giant. God prepares our hearts and trains our feet in the quiet parts of our life, developing us, so as we pass through difficulties we have a steady gaze on God’s faithfulness and sovereignty.
