    In The Cave

    Contributed by Roger Whipp on Dec 29, 2014
     | 6,450 views

    During our low moments, maybe even depression, do we hid ourselves away? We can't hid from God. We need to come out of our emotional caves into the light of Christ.

    1 Samuel 24 In the Cave: God said to Adam “Adam I want you to do something for me” Adam replied, "Gladly, Lord, what do You want me to do?" "I want you to go down into that valley, across the river, and over to the hill. On the other side of the hill you will find a cave. In the ...read more

    This message deals with us truly waiting for God to act rather than trying to rush God into handling our situation. David allowed God to Handle Saul in his laife

    David’s fight against the temptation of revenge produced positive three consequences we should all come to when today’s temptation is to put ourselves out in front of God’s will and get even with people.

    Today’s Temptation, Tomorrow’s Triumph 1 Samuel 24 Did you ever get in a fight when you were a kid? I mean a real fight, with fists and blood and crying. I did. More than once. Being small meant I got picked on more than once, so I became a scrapper and a bully sometimes just to ...read more

    Why do some people seem to have more in, from and through their relationship with God? Because they trust in God’s capabilities more than their capabilities and they practice the faith and the self discipline of the word until!

    Galatians 5:22-23 MSG But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and ...read more

    David Spares Saul's Life Series

     | 12,724 views

    First Samuel 24:1-22 shows us God's constraint of his servant in the establishment of his kingdom.

    Scripture David’s journey to throne of Israel was a difficult one. The current king, Saul, was jealous of God’s anointed one—David—and wanted to kill him. Though initially fearful of Saul, David’s trust in God grew, and in his sovereign, providential care of him. We see this again as David spares ...read more

    Are Your Words Testifying Against You?

    One of the things that I believe we sometimes forget is that the words that we speak mean a lot more than what we may think. This message is about the importance of speaking in agreement with God.

    Are Your Words Testifying Against You? One of the things that I believe we sometimes forget is that the words that we speak mean a lot more than what we may think.

    David Cuts The Corner Of Saul's Garment In The Cave Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 19, 2023
     | 2,468 views

    David didn’t kill Saul, but he’s even upset that he cut off a corner of his robe. How could he do this to the one God has placed as king? This is a man with a very strong conscience.

    Have you ever had something really bad happen, and you wonder to yourself? How could God let this happen? Why is this happening? Or maybe you think, I can’t handle this. You feel overwhelmed. What do we do when we feel overwhelmed? We get through it. We let ourselves feel it. And we get through ...read more

    Two Kings, Two Paths

     | 375 views

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

    Reasoning With An Unreasonable King (1 Samuel 24:1-22)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 9, 2024
     | 913 views

    David's journey to the throne seemed to stop when he found himself in a cave hiding from King Saul's army. David had an opportunity to kill Saul. However, he handled it in a way that demonstrated both his godly character and leadership.

    We have followed the life of David from the time where he was a shepherd boy tending the flocks of his family to the battlefields of Israel. He has matured from a boy into a man, killing a giant, winning the heart of the nation, and developing into a man of God. He had reached the pinnacles of ...read more
