Special Event – Summer Series; Psalm 139:13-14: Dr. David Fleming, 07/12/26

Are you wonderfully made, or are you a work in progress? Dr. David Fleming explores Psalm 139:13-14 and the tension many of us feel between accepting God’s design for us and pursuing spiritual growth; using Michelangelo’s David as a powerful metaphor for how God shapes and forms us.

David explores why you don’t have to choose between these two truths, the hidden dangers of perfectionism and resignation, and how Scripture (Psalm 139, Ephesians 2:8-10, Philippians 1:6, Philippians 2:12-13, and Philippians 3:12-16) reveals that we are both fearfully and wonderfully made and called to press on toward Christlikeness.

In this lesson, David covers:
• The four “poles” we tend to gravitate toward: resignation, wonderfully made, work in progress, and perfectionism
• Why perfectionism and resignation both carry spiritual liabilities
• What Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures teach us about incomplete growth
• How to hold onto both grace and intentional spiritual growth
• A practical challenge: a 90-day spiritual growth assessment
