    Before the event at Mizpah, Samuel had anointed Saul privately as Israel's first King. But on the day he was to be presented to the people, Saul was hiding in the baggage.

    THE KING IN HIDING "20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen. 21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they sought ...read more

    Using the time when God’s people rejected Samuel as their leader and demanded a king to lead them as an example of how our nation is ever turning away from Godly principles.

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:1-22 Title: “When A Nation Divorces God” Introduction: Here in 1 Sam. 8 we see a great change taking place. Because of the aging of Samuel and the failure of Samuel’s sons in their positions of leadership the leaders of the people request a king, not a judge, to rule over ...read more

    A look at the emergence of Samuel as hope for a struggling community as model for what is happening in our nation during this election year. It is an opportunity for all to see the possibilities that exist as we embrace this time of change.

    The Possibilities are Limitless: When You Change 1 Samuel 2.16-36 It is not difficult to see that the wind of change is blowing in 2008. The number 7 biblically is representative of completion thus 8 is a new beginning, a time for change, a time for fresh starts. I want you to know as you ...read more

    Third in he series, which looks at the new year in the light of limitless possibilites as modeled by the election. The life of Samuel gives us a biblical model by which we examine those possibilities.

    The Possibilities are Limitless: When You Trust God 1 Samuel 7.1-13 This week is labeled super Sunday and the justification is because the 2007/8 football season comes to an end as it crowns its champion.

    Lessons From The Father Of A Nation

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 17, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,800 views

    From the story of Samuel anointing David as future king, we learn to obey God (which impacts others), to never stop learning, and to cultivate character. (Used as Father's Day sermon.)

    1 Samuel 15:34 - 1 Samuel 16:13 Lessons from the Father of a Nation This Father’s Day I thought it would be interesting to learn from the Father of a nation. We usually look at today’s story from the perspective of David, but why not see it through Samuel’s eyes? Samuel, in essence, is the father ...read more

     | 2,274 views

    In 2nd Samuel 6 we see the Ark of the Covenant being brought to Jerusalem

    David has gone from watching over the few sheep of his father, to be anointed as king of Israel. He was anointed, but then he waited. He waited many years, being persecuted by the ruling forces. He was on the run. He was hiding in caves. He fought battles. He dealt with foreign kings. He refused ...read more

    Make Me A Blessing (1 Of 3)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 8, 2024
     | 1,622 views

    In I Timothy 6:1-12 we do not have to do any surmising when it comes to who Paul was addressing in this passage of scriptures. Although we know the letter is addressed specifically to young Timothy, yet it is clear, the thing he has to say in this passage of scripture is to the MAN OF GOD

    Look at verse 11. We read, “But thou, O MAN OF GOD...” To be referred to as a “man of God,” or a “woman of God,” is one of the greatest titles that could be given to any Christian. (1) The term MAN OF GOD is often given to MINISTERS of the gospel. (2) Also, the clergyman is called THE MAN ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 5 – Humble Yourselves And The Monster Of Anxiety – 1peter 5:6-7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,879 views

    Anxiety and concern afflict us and cause worry. God does not want that for us. Peter speaks of casting our cares on the Lord, also the Psalms, and the Lord on earth spoke on the same matter in the Sermon on the Mount. Humbling ourselves under the MIGHTY hand of God is a necessity.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 5 – HUMBLE YOURSELVES AND THE MONSTER OF ANXIETY – 1Peter 5:6-7 [A]. INTRODUCTION – STRENGTH AND DEPENDENCE The strength of youth is most evident when the body is at the prime of its physical development.

    The Woman Of Endor And Familiar Spirits

     | 4,676 views

    This message takes a somewhat detailed look at First Samuel 28, the record of King Saul's interaction with the woman who has a familiar spirit.

    In 1978 or 1979, I was told about family members driving to Nashville – I’m from Tennessee – to see a lady because there were things going on in their lives that they didn’t understand. They had been praying but it seemed to them that God was silent. So they went to see this lady, who shared some ...read more

    Gaining Discernment From David Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Trae Durden on Aug 29, 2014
     | 3,102 views

    Learning from the mistakes of others is the best way to learn. These two lessons consider David's great life and some of the roots behind his worst failures. Based on the book by Charles Swindoll, "David: A man of passion and destiny."

    “A tree is best measured when it’s down.” David was a man after God’s own heart. And yet, he made tons of mistakes. As we learn from his mistakes, let’s also learn from his response to those mistakes! Not only did David leave us a lifetime of lessons about things ...read more

    This is a time of the year for cliches and spiritual sappy-talk. John the Baptist offers a fresh perspective.

    Mark 1:1-8 WHAT WOULD JOHN THE BAPTIST SAY TO YOU? Sometimes, when you hear the same thing all the time, it starts to become less and less meaningful. For example, right now, at this time in the year, the newspaper, the TV, and the radio are all saying the same thing: “There is a special sale ...read more
