The Strength That Breaks You

In this message from our series Songs of the Shepherd King, Pastor Chris Seay explores how King David’s greatest strength—his big heart—was also what led to his greatest breaking. Drawing from Psalm 51, this sermon invites us to see how our own strengths, left unchecked, can become our undoing, and how God’s grace can restore us to rhythm again. From David’s story of failure and repentance to our modern rhythms of distraction and striving, this message calls us back to stillness, humility, and grace that outlasts our failures.
