    Samuel records David’s last song written as King. He struggled as a husband, father, warrior, and king, and yet in the history of a people, God calls only him, “A man after My own heart.” David, now at the end of a legacy, leaves for us a song of praise.

    2 Samuel 22:29-37 (KJV) "Hinds' Feet for High Places" June 18, 2023 This song of David is a word for word quote of Psalm 18. The Prophet Samuel records this as David’s last song written as King.

    The story of Hannah is not well known and today it is given as an alternative reading to the more familiar story of Samuel’s call. So, let us dive into this tale of Hannah.

Hannah is his first wife, but she has not been blessed with children, we are told twice that the Lord had “closed her womb” (vs. 5, 6). In contrast to Hannah, Peninnah (whose ...read more

    Developing A Life Of Prayer

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Sep 22, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,850 views

    Prayer is at the very core of spiritual life. Despite how many people speak of praying as a part of their lives… I believe that a life that lives out of a center of prayer is challenging for most of us.

    Fires and earthquakes may serve to get our attention, taking our focus off the temporary things of this world… but the voice that we ultimately long for comes in quiet places. So it shouldn’t surprise us what we find the disciples of Jesus coming to him about in Matthew 6. They might have asked ...read more
