    Dealing With Ocd Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 22, 2021
     | 3,737 views

    OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

    In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

    King Saul was blinded by his anger towards David and it led him to lose his temper in ways that destroyed his family and his dynasty. What can we do to avoid the same blindness that hurt Saul?

    On July 4th, 1826 two of our nation’s Founding Fathers died (that same day) within hours of each other. John Adams & Thomas Jefferson (the 2nd and 3rd Presidents of the U. States) both died on July 4th. What makes this interesting is that Adams and Jefferson were close friends. In 1775 ...read more

    Divine Help In Times Of Trouble

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 29, 2025
     | 733 views

    David's experience at Nob teaches us that God always provides help, strength, and weapons for life’s battles. Even in distress, we must trust in His divine provisions and equipping.

    DIVINE HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 21:1-9 "And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women." – 1 Samuel 21:4 (KJV) Supporting ...read more

    Nob Lessons

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 108 views

    God meets fugitives in forgotten places, offering bread, restored courage, forgiven regret, and a remnant of hope that carries destiny forward.

    David is exhausted. Not the kind of tired a nap can fix. He is tired in his bones, in his courage, in his faith. The applause that once filled the air has been replaced by the sound of Saul sharpening a spear. David had been the future king in the palace yesterday. Today he is a fugitive hiding ...read more

    Running Your Race

    “Running Your Race” calls believers to reject comparison and discouragement, embrace their God-given lane with faithfulness and joy, and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus—the One who empowers, sustains, and rewards every step of the journey.

    Running Your Race I remember the first time I attended a large Christian conference. Though we all shared a love for the Lord and His Word, this “unknown” attendee quietly wondered if anyone could see past the mask of confidence—past the polished smiles and ministry talk—to the ...read more

    Every few years something happens to remind us we should never put our trust in princes, or politicians, but only in our Lord, Jesus Christ.

    Friday of the fifteenth week in course 2024 (7/19) It’s not possible for me to read the Scriptures today and ignore what happened just a week ago in Pennsylvania. I do believe that God, perhaps through angelic suggestion, arranged things so that the bullet missed the candidate’s head by a few ...read more

    Sermon # 18 - Peace-Makers Series

     | 884 views

    Jonah’s disobedience to God resulted in total chaos and turmoil for all aboard the ship. God’s call to His children is to be peace-makers wherever we are. The word of God cautions those who cause disunity and discord of serious consequences.

    We read in Jonah 1:15, “And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.” (AFV) The background to this verse is that a sea-voyage which commenced peacefully, with the hopes of a tranquil journey, was suddenly confronted with a furious and violent storm. ...read more

    Who becomes an individual’s boss? Who is their judge? Who is their Master? Who is their Lord? Who has the right to judge another’s actions? When one tries to do right, mistakes will still happen because of ignorance, error in judgment, etc.

    How God Defines Greatness (1 Samuel 18:5-16)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 27, 2024
     | 884 views

    The world defines greatness in terms of achievements and deeds, celebrated today and forgotten tomorrow. God defines greatness as how one lives his life. We see this in David as he continued to follow the will of the LORD.

    Greatness, according to the world's standards, is measured by things such as achievements, status, education, wealth, and individual or corporate contributions to society. While these traits are admirable, they can also be a source of pride, selfishness, self-centeredness, and arrogance. ...read more

    God's Sovereign Support In Dark Times (1 Samuel 21:10-15)

     | 1,022 views

    David, the hero of Israel and God's chosen vessel to be the next king, came to a point in his life where all he had gained was now lost and forgotten. He hit rock bottom, yet God used this to show David that he needed to rely only on Him for support and strength.

    "David arose and fled that day from before Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath. The servants of Achish said to him, 'Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousand?' Now David ...read more
