The Crucible== Genuine?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 27, 2024

Today we seem to expect exemption from suffering and test. There is a false teaching that if we are really close to God we will not be tested. Ask Abraham, Job, David, Joseph and Jesus about seasons of testing?

CRUCIBLE == GENUINE! HOT TRIALS! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) We go through seasons of tests. Sometimes the trials are so hot we almost seem hopeless. HANG ON!

The Scarecrow And The Pelican – Very Apt Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022

The message begins with the insanity of idolatry. Idols are no more than scarecrows in a cucumber field. In great distress David resembled a pelican in the wilderness. Applications are drawn from these two objects to Christian living and personal affliction.

The Godly Vs. Ungodly Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Oct 3, 2022

In a comparison between David (who was seeking to do what was right) and his enemies, an ungodly person is generally referring to an unbeliever, but it is possible for a saved person not to be living as a godly person. Let’s notice the difference.

Psalm 1 made a contrast between the godly and the ungodly. Here we see that contrast in a different form. In a comparison between David (who was seeking to do what was right) and his enemies. An ungodly person is generally referring to an unbeliever, but it is possible for a saved person not to ...read more

Trusting Or Fleeing Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Oct 9, 2022

This Psalm is thought to have been written during the times when David was in the courts of Saul and he was being tempted to flee; and not trust in God but to believe that his safety was only dependent upon his actions.

I. FACING THE TEMPTATION TO FLEE A. People may be used to advise us wrongly (v. 1-3). 1. They were undermining David’s confidence in the Lord. 2. Just like Rabshakeh did to Jerusalem in Hezekiah’s day. 3. People who cannot see things from a spiritual perspective will advise us from their point of ...read more

I Will Bless The Lord At All Times

When Your Sin Finds You Out Series

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

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 27, 2024

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
