ABOUT THIS WEEK
Not only do coaches need a good strategy, but they have to place their players in the right field positions. This week, we'll explore the story of David and The Ark and see how God gave David a specific role in leadership. As he celebrated while some disapproved, David's dedication to God's plan reminds us that following God is the best game plan.
