Each of us are called to greatness.  God endowed us with abilities, resources, and passions, and expects great things from us as his royal children.  But first we have to get there.  We have to suffer and struggle and learn and grow.

The Old Testament tells the story of David-a shepherd boy who became the most famous King of Israel.  God made David great.  He's remembered by history for slaying giants with stones and building Israel into an international powerhouse.  Jesus even came later to sit on David's throne. 

But we forget about David's "internship years."  For years he ran around the countryside, escaping execution, learning lessons on life and leadership.  Only after many years was he ready for what God had in store for him.

God's preparing you for greatness, too.  But first you gotta get through the internship.  You gotta struggle and suffer.  The good news is that by God's power and wisdom, he'll teach you what you need to know.

Spend the spring and summer with us at Rooftop learning about David in 1 Samuel.  Before he was a king, he was a renegade, an outcast, an intern.  He learned lessons we all need to learn about life and leadership.  Join us at Rooftop as we learn these lessons together.
