I'll Pin David to the Wall - Hard Mode Pt 4 (1 Samuel 18:6-30)

Integrity in Hard Times: When God Works Behind the Scenes (1 Samuel 18) David's victory over Goliath should have been his breakthrough moment, but it actually made his life harder. King Saul became jealous, threatened, and openly hostile. Yet David continued choosing integrity, faithful service, and humility over self-promotion. This week as we continue our Hard Mode series, we explore how David's personal integrity allowed God to work powerfully behind the scenes, protecting him from traps he never even saw. More importantly, we discover how Jesus' work on the cross fuels our own ability to live with integrity.  If you've ever struggled with cutting corners when no one's watching, or wondered if doing the right thing is worth it, this sermon offers both challenge and profound encouragement. The cross changes everything about how we approach our daily choices.
