Sermons on Saul:

David Is Named King Of Judah In Hebron Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 27, 2023

David had waited such a long time, for God’s promise given to him through the prophet Samuel. The promise was simple: You will be king. The moment has come, and David becomes King at Hebron over the tribe of Judah.

David trusted God for years and years. He trusted God as his enemies closed in around him. He trusted God as he lived in caves. He trusted God even when he was alone and on the run. He trusted God when Saul tried to kill him. He trusted God when he was an outcast. At last, the time had come. David ...read more

Showing God’s Kindness Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 6, 2022

David knew God’s kindness. He was not undisputed king because he deserved it, but because he of God’s kindness. What better way to respond to God’s kindness to him by showing another kindness. Mephibosheth once lived in favor in the royal family.

The most famous story of the life of King David is the David and Goliath story. Almost every Sunday school child could tell you that story. But what about David and Mephibosheth? It is not so well known. For one thing it is easier to stay Goliath than it is Mephibosheth. Just try to say ...read more

In an era of cancel culture and the quest to remain in power at all cost, the story of Jonathan is worth knowing about.

The Bible does not tell us if he was married, but we are told that he had a son, Mephibosheth, who was 5 years old when Jonathen was killed on Mt. ...read more

An Identity Crisis

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 26, 2022

Identity answers the question “Who am I?” My identity is based on how I view myself, the foundation I build my life upon, and where I find my sense of worth, acceptance, and well-being. Everything changes when we find the King!

Don't Let Your Haters Get You Down

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 14, 2013

It is a great mystery to me; I truly cannot understand how people with Jesus in their hearts can be so hateful and hurtful towards one another? How can they be so impatient and angry at each other? When that should love each other instead.

6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. 7 And the women answered one another as they played, and ...read more
