Why Is Your King Hiding? Series

Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

Saul was the anvil on which God pounded David for 13 years. Why? To remove the sinful impurities of self-sufficiency and pride.

First Samuel 23:15-29 shows us how God providentially cares for believers.
