    How did David handle wicked King Saul?

    Before we celebrate Communion today, let us continue to learn from the Book of 1 Samuel. Turn with me briefly to 1 Samuel 24…… King Saul, who was hunting David to kill him, went in a cave and David could have killed Saul there. Now look at v16-22…. It sounded like King Saul ...read more

    We must be careful to not allow small things to affect us greatly.

    1Sa 26:18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand? 1Sa 26:19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but ...read more

    Make choices that reflect God's will. Rely on the Holy Spirit's guidance. Trust God for the unknowns. Choose to let His love flows through us.

    Let’s read it - 1 Sam 26:1-25. I believe you have this feeling that you read this before. This encounter is very similar to the one in chapter 24 when he was in the cave in En Gedi. • David got so close to Saul he could cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. In this chapter, he took ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 27, 2019
     | 4,907 views

    A “Manual” for Escaping Our Vicious Cycles through non-violence is what the Sermon on the Mount has been called; to transform the adversary - and, in the process, to be transformed ourselves.

    1). Mary Lou Kownacki relates the following tale: It seems that in a certain village a snake had bitten so many people that few dared to go into the fields. Finally, it was taken to a wise person who tamed the snake and persuaded it to practice the discipline of nonviolence. When the villagers ...read more

    I think it's safe to say we all like to get rewarded. We like to get acknowledged for a job well done. Not that we do things to get rewarded, it's just nice when it happens. Today we'll take a look at the subject of God's rewards.

    The Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes and heroines to accomplish some pretty amazing feats that can inspire us to become heroes of God ourselves. Our next hero is Daivd. (Alliterated Outline, PowerPoint Available)

    David In Saul’s Camp

    Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 8, 2022
     | 3,088 views

    We see another magical moment when David walks with God and ventures into the impossible. God gave David Saul’s spear-scepter and the king's source of anointing. This was a prevision of what David was later to gain as King.

    DAVID IN SAUL’S CAMP 1 Sam. 26:2-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I was thrown out of the break room of my Walmart yesterday. They asked me what I was doing there. I told them, “I’m on a break.” 2.

    David has already spared Saul’s life once, in a situation where he is running. Now there is a new situation, but the same life is in his hands, what will he do?

    Do you ever feel in your life like you’ve been tested in this area already? I know I’ve felt that way. Lord I went through this test already. I’ve given you my problems. I’ve given you my sins. But God says, I will test you again, and your faith will be proven. David went from being a shepherd ...read more

    The ability to trust someone is not born overnight. It is an entity that develops in the bosom of a relationship.

    THE TRUSTING HEART The webster’s dictionary describes trust as “confidence in a person or thing because of the qualities one perceives or seems to perceive in him or it.” This ability to trust someone is not born overnight. It is an entity that develops in the bosom of a relationship. Sometimes ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,566 views

    Do we value the grace of God, and how can we continue in the amazing grace that God has lavished on us? Can bitterness hinder us from obtaining God’s grace? Read on to find the answers to these questions.

    In Hebrew 12:15, “See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;” (ESV) The Holy Spirit of God cautions us through the word of God, that if we allow the root of bitterness to get embedded ...read more

    Abishai proved his loyalty to David on several occasions; the most notable one was toward the end of David’s reign when he saved his life.

    ABISHAI ABISHAI was the eldest son of David's sister Zeruiah. He was the brother of Joab and Asahel. According to Josephus (Antiquities, VII, 1, 3), his father was called Suri. The meaning of his name is "Father of a gift." Abishai was the only one who accompanied David when he ...read more

    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.
