Rivalry: Reconciliation & Revenge?
As a leader, it is possible and easy to fall trap to seemingly defendable actions driven by anger, bitterness and pride when faced with tribulations and/or injustice rather than seeking reconciliation. Let us reflect as Rev Darren unfolds 2 Samuel 2-3 with valuable lessons on rivalry, reconciliation and blood-drawn revenge.
Recovering From Failure
Failure is part and parcel of life and teaches us to strengthen ourselves in the Lord. As we continue to walk through David’s tumultuous life journey, let us learn and reflect on how he surrendered before the throne of grace, faced his failure, fell forward and fulfilled God’s purpose in the face of life and death in 1 Samuel 30.

As we continue on our journey through the gripping life of David, we begin to see the cracks of this once golden boy (now man) when he took His eyes off God and acted out of self interest in 1 Samuel 27 & 29.
Dealing with Anger
