Details of this retreat
King David stands as one of the most complex and compelling figures in the Old Testament—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, a poet, and an ancestor of Jesus Himself.
David's life was a dramatic saga of highs and lows: from his heroic triumph over Goliath and his great leadership, to moments of profound tragedy and personal failure, including betrayal and adultery.
This retreat will explore David's entire journey—his youthful courage, his stunning successes, his devastating sins, and his ultimate, humble recovery through deep repentance. His story is a powerful blueprint for every man, showing us how to battle our own giants, acknowledge our failures, and persevere in turning back to the Lord, no matter the depth of the struggle. Come and discover how David's perseverance can guide your own journey toward Christ.
