David,-The Shepherd Boy Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 7, 2020

David was perhaps Israel's greatest king. He wasn't born into a royal family, and didn't meet the guidelines some might have expected of a king, but God chose him. And that was enough.

Introduction: David was a very colorful character in the Bible. From a humble beginning in life, God used him to accomplish many things, eventually becoming king over all Israel. Not every person will have a “shepherd-to-scepter” life or encounter, such as what happened to David. Every believer in ...read more

God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025

Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more
