When David received news of Saul's death, he didn't celebrate. He wept.
In this final message of our Watching the Throne series, Pastor Josh walks us through 2 Samuel 1, a passage about grief, lament, and what it looks like to honor someone well in the middle of loss. This week, that passage hit close to home. Cross & Anchor is grieving the loss of Nathan Richards, a beloved member of our church family, and only God could have orchestrated the timing of a message like this for a moment like this.
From David's example, we unpack three things: understanding the weight of the moment you're in, being real with God instead of putting on a show, and learning the lost art of lament.
Grief is unavoidable. But lament is a choice — and it's one the church desperately needs to reclaim.
Jesus was a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. That means we don't have to choose between sorrow and hope. In Christ, we get the full weight of both.
Weeping may last for the night. But joy comes in the morning.

Legacy of Faith // Watching The Throne
What kind of legacy are you leaving behind? In this Father's Day message, we take an honest look at the life of Saul and the sobering reality that our choices affect far more than just ourselves. But this isn't a message about guilt. It's about hope. Because no matter how many mistakes you've made or moments you wish you could take back, your story isn't over. God specializes in taking broken things and making them beautiful. In this episode, we unpack four practical ways to start building a legacy of faith for the people you love most, and why it's never too late to begin. Whether you're a parent, a grandparent, or just someone who wants their life to count for something, this one is for you.
