Divine Help In Times Of Trouble

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 29, 2025

David's experience at Nob teaches us that God always provides help, strength, and weapons for life’s battles. Even in distress, we must trust in His divine provisions and equipping.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 21:1-9 "And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women." – 1 Samuel 21:4 (KJV) Supporting ...read more

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

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!

La Entrada Triunfal Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 13, 2024

Las autoridades romanas prestaron poca atención a la llegada de Jesús montado en un asno, pero en el esquema de toda la eternidad fue el acontecimiento más significativo.

Este pasaje que conocemos como la entrada triunfal de Jesús también es muy conocido por todos los cristianos porque es el tema central del Domingo de Ramos la semana anterior a Pascua. Es una tradición anual de la iglesia hacer énfasis en esto al comienzo de la Semana Santa. ...read more

Planning For The Overflow

Contributed by Bo Dunford on Jan 25, 2006

Many thanks to my good friend, Pastor David Carter of The Rock Falls Church in Boiling Springs, SC for the thoughts in this sermon. When you practice Luke 6:38, go ahead and plan for the overflow!

LUKE 6:38 “PLANNING FOR THE OVERFLOW” A) I think it is time we started emphasizing GIVING, instead of someone’s income! * We live in a world where our social standing is based on our income. * God is not interested in how much you make – He is interested in how much you give. * No one will be ...read more

The Secrets Of Life

Contributed by Joel Santos on Oct 29, 2004

Life has its problems and life has its secrets. In many lives the problems have outrun the secrets, so this Miktam (which probably means "secrets") of David may help get things into perspective.

Company In The Valley

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 2, 2006

How can we go through hardships in life? Learn from David: (1) Accept the reality of the valleys in life, (2) watch how we respond to them, and (3) know the resources we have.

Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
