When David became king of Israel, he forged new trails in Israel’s national successes. But have you ever wondered how a man “after God’s own heart” could have 8 wives and father 21 children?

And join with us as we follow the ultimate king, are transformed and given an ultimate purpose.

Join us as we explore the relationships between forgiveness, grace and justice in our families now, and in the ultimate family of God.
