Friendship Church - Sunday Morning Messages

What happens when good intentions run up against God’s holy standards? In this message from 2 Samuel 6, Pastor Jason explores the story of David, Uzzah, and the Ark of the Covenant. Looking at both Uzzah's fatal mistake and David's unrestrained praise, we learn why worship must be approached on God’s terms rather than our own—and how Jesus Christ makes a way for us to stand boldly before a holy God.

David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of God

David is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God’s own heart. But his story is not just one of victory; it is also marked by failure, brokenness, and repentance.

 

In this series, we’ll walk through the life of David to discover what it means to pursue God in every season—when we are chosen, when we are tested, when we fail, and when we are restored.

 

Series Memory Verse – Psalm 63:1
"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."
