We've all been there. That moment of betrayal when someone takes action behind our backs, crosses a line, or when their words cut deep. We may think of “revenge” as calculated retribution, but in reality, it can be as small as snide comments or bitter hearts toward the people who wronged us. If you’ve ever felt the seemingly irresistible urge to strike back, you’re not alone, but God doesn’t want you to take that path. Join us as we learn why we should always leave vengeance to the Lord.

Join us as we learn from the life of David how God wants us to respond in our moments of fear.

How can a small, unassuming shepherd boy be anointed king over a nation? God only knows.
