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. Join us as we see three reasons Hannah was an underdog in her culture and what she turned to in the midst of her bitter longing. 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. While it may be fun to cheer for one, no one really wants to be the underdog themselves. But this Sunday, we'll look at why it sometimes is the best place for us to be in life. Join us as we kick off our summer series Underdogs.

Sometimes our core assumptions can keep us from receiving the truth about Jesus. Join us as we see how Paul's words in Romans push back on a foundational belief in today's society. Hear the truth about why we need each other and some questions to challenge you about your own thinking.
