We often insert ourselves as David in the story of David and Goliath. But in reality, we are often more like the Israelite army. Join us to see why when we learn six ways David showed courage. We'll look at what true courage means - and what it doesn't.

King David is likely the most well-known king in Israelite history, a warrior, and a man after God's own heart. But do you realize he was actually an underdog, too? This Sunday, we'll look at what made him an underdog and see three things we can learn from his status as one that apply to us, too. 

This week's message is a story of political power and leadership - from the Old Testament, not current American politics! Join us to see what the Israelites thought would help them escape underdog status and why things are really not that different today. The story reveals four things we need to be aware of - things the Israelites missed when they demanded a king. 

Most of us have never heard an audible voice from God. That's not the case for this week's underdog, Samuel. Join us as we read about God calling the boy who became Israel's last judge and first prophet. We'll see what it was in Samuel - and us - that makes God choose to use certain people for His purposes. 

If you've ever waited and waited for something you've wanted more than anything, you have an idea of how Hannah felt when we pick up her story in I Samuel.

Then learn five things to take away from Hannah when you are the underdog.

Ever seen the movie Hoosiers, Rudy, Remember the Titans, or Miracle? Ever watched March Madness basketball? If you answered yes, you know what it looks like to root for the underdog.

Join us as we kick off our summer series Underdogs.
