説明
What do you do when you're trying your best, but life feels like the worst? In this message from Is That in the Bible?: House of David, Pastor Levi Lusko explores one of the most overlooked seasons in David’s life—not the giant he defeated, but the king he endured, becoming the target of jealousy, hostility, and betrayal. Yet instead of becoming bitter, he keeps showing up with excellence, integrity, and trust in God. Through David’s example, we learn how to handle difficult people without becoming difficult ourselves, how to guard our hearts from bitterness, and how to keep doing the right thing even when it costs us.
This message will help you:
– deal with difficult people without losing your peace
– overcome bitterness, resentment, and cynicism
– set healthy boundaries without abandoning grace
– learn how worship changes your perspective in hard moments
Continue watching in House of David Season 1, Episode 4 + Season 2, Episode 7, streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
