Chi Alpha at UVA

How can we confront our peers about serious issues in a Godly manner? Listen to our sixth sermon in our "Step by Step" series as Maddie walks us through the story of Abigail's plea with David as we see how she exudes Godly conduct in confrontation.

Have you ever felt like you were at "the end of your rope"? The story of David shows us an example of a man after God's own heart, and how he processes being at his wit's end in the wilderness. Here, Pete uses this story to show how strength can be found in God in the darkest of circumstances. 

What's more important, where you go, or how you get there? Here, Thomas Hamilton walks us through the story of Saul chasing David through the desert, where David must choose between his own desires and trusting the Lord. This is our fourth sermon in our series "Step by Step", where we walk through David's life and see what life is like when one pursues God's heart.

Do you view your situation the same way that God does? In this week's episode, Pete walks us through the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, and how David saw the encounter through God's lens, rather than the lens of his fellow Israelites. This is the second message in our series Step by Step, where we are looking at the life of David to see what it looks like to search after God's heart.

How do we deal with times when tragedy strikes and God seems distant? David was no stranger to hardship, but the reality is that his desert years were not wasted, but were extremely formative.

What price are we willing to pay to achieve success? The reality is that God cares about more than just where we get to in life. Today's story from the life of David is a powerful example of integrity.

What does true friendship look? David's friendship with Jonathan was a source of strength and joy for him, and offers us much to learn about the nature of friendship.

What enabled a small, insignificant shepherd to slay enemies that no one else dared face? How do we rise to face the giants that oppose God's will and desires for our lives? Listen to find out!

What qualified David to be the next king of Israel? You may be surprised by the answer! The reality is that we can often be led astray by worldly values and a mistaken sense of identity, when what God looks at is something much deeper.

Campus pastor Pete Bullette kicks off the semester with a look at the anchored life as seen lived out by Jonathan in 1 Samuel 14.
