In Psalm 34, David's dismay is turned to prayer and praise when he sets his gaze on his mighty God. What do we do when we're in the depths of despair? Pastor Robbie Symons reminds us that a prayerless life is the sin of self-reliance. In faith, go to your God and take refuge in Him.

In Live in the Light with Pastor Robbie Symons, we are in Psalm 34. When we last met David, he was in the midst of a trial few of us could imagine. Yet, even as we’re about to accept his demise, David yet again turns to the Lord in prayer and in praise. His heart is filled with dependence on his one and only God, which flows into worship and reverential awe. How can we mirror David’s example when we’re in our darkest hour?

On Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons concludes his message on The Power of Biblical Friendship by looking at the relationship between David and Jonathan in 1 Samuel 23:15-18. A good friend strengthens us in the Lord. Are you that kind of friend to others?

A clean house, a clean car, clean clothes, even the proverbial 'clean slate' - why do we so enjoy things that are clean? Perhaps it is because it evokes a sense of purity and newness. In Psalm 5, David longs for a clean & pure heart, free from sin and stain, knowing that the Lord looks on the heart. Only God can create a clean heart through the washing and cleansing of our sin by the blood of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. But like David, we must beg the Lord to restore our hearts with faith that he will respond. Today on Live in the Light, we learn that forgiveness restores us from sin, but brokenness and contriteness before God produce joy!

How incredible and lifesaving is the power of Biblical friendship? In our continuing study of the life of David, God’s book reveals that even when he is feeling most anxious, alone, and vulnerable, David will be provided a true and loyal friend in Jonathan, who reminds David to look only to the Lord for strength and truth. We must remember that our best friend, whom we seek when life is great as well as when things look bleak, is our Saviour Jesus Christ! Pastor Robbie Symons teaches from 1 Samuel 23:15-18 on Live in the Light.

Today's episode concludes the dramatic fall of King David, man after God's own heart. On Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons teaches how vital it is to go to the Lord, especially in dark seasons. 1 Samuel 21-22

Like all of us, David is subjected to his fair share of troubles and woes, even if he seems to have the Lord’s favour. As his reputation disintegrates —as he goes from hero to villain in what seems like mere moments—David’s life unravels before us. Will his faith falter? Will he lose hope? Will he blame God? Pastor Robbie Symons is teaching from 1 Samuel 20-21 on Live in the Light.

How did David, a man after God’s own heart, handle his newfound celebrity status? How will we fare as believers in the test of success? On Live in the Light, Pastor Robbie Symons concludes the message on 1 Samuel 18-19, warning of the dangers of jealousy.

After his incredible defeat of the monstrous Goliath, David is thrust into nation-wide fame and success, but as Proverbs 27:21 says, “the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.” How will David, a man after God’s own heart, handle his newfound celebrity status? Follow along in 1 Samuel 18-19 on Live in the Light with Pastor Robbie Symons.

A clean house, a clean car, clean clothes, even the proverbial 'clean slate' - why do we so enjoy things that are clean? Perhaps it is because it brings to mind a sense of purity and newness. In Psalm 51, David is longing for a clean & pure heart, free from sin and stain, knowing the Lord looks on the heart. Only God can create a clean heart through the washing and cleansing of our sin by the blood of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. But like David, we must beg the Lord to restore our hearts with faith that he will respond. Today we learn that forgiveness restores us from sin, but brokenness and contriteness before God produces joy!

As we continue in our study of David, we arrive at one of the most famous stories in Scripture: the mighty battle of David versus Goliath. But this awesome, powerful story is really about God and His glory versus the sin and evil that plagues our world. Rest in the knowledge that no matter how gargantuan your enemy, if you have the Lord behind you, you cannot lose!

The greatest lesson we can learn from examining the life of David—shepherd, warrior, king, psalmist—is that, despite his sins, he was truly a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22). In the first of this new series, we’re introduced to David as someone the Lord has set apart for his faithfulness, for his character, for his courage, but especially, for his heart.
