    Beneficial versus detrimental models of manhood juxtaposed in the lives of David and Nabal.

    The 25th chapter of First Samuel tells the story of two vastly different approaches to being a man. One is rewarding and the other ruinous. One is admirable and the other despicable. One is to be repeated and the other repudiated. To this day most men fall into one of the two categories ...read more

    Before a person comes to Christ, we are under the dictates of the Old Testament Law. When we came to Christ, we became "married to another." Abigail pictures this same truth in 1 Samuel 25.

    Text: Read 1 Samuel 25. (I will submit this text for you at the end of this outline.) In Brief, Nabal refuses to give a "love offering" to David and his men who have been protecting his shepherds from being harmed by the enemy. Nabal is a fool. If his wife, Abigail, had not come to David with ...read more

    You can be beautiful or you can be a beast. What made Abigal beautiful? What made Nabal a fool?

    God used Abigal to turn David away from a senseless sin.

    What image comes to mind when you hear the word “hero”? Do you think of a grizzled firefighter who routinely risks his life to save others? Such a person is certainly a hero, but so is the child who has the presence of mind to dial 911 when the house is on fire! Heroes come in all ...read more

    I used to work as a tour guide in a Scottish castle, so I was used to telling this kind of anecdote. See if you can recognise this one. It is not about Scottish clans and lands. It comes from the Bible.

    A GOOD WIFE AND A MEAN-SPIRITED HUSBAND. This is a true story concerning a wise woman, a foolish chieftain, and a band of outlaws. The leader of the outlaws was an honourable man who, like Robin Hood in England, had unjustly fallen into disfavour with the ruler of the land. Whereas Robin Hood ...read more

    King David shows two sides to himself: the compassionate side shown to Saul and the petulant attitude shown to Nabal. It shows that we can all be saints one day and sinners the next!

    Imagine being a level-headed person caught between two hot heads that, left to themselves, would destroy each other and everyone around them. This was Abigail, an Unsung Hero of the Bible, whose story we find in 1 Samuel 25.

    What is a hero? Over the last two weeks we have explored stories of ordinary people that undertook extraordinary tasks that ended up having huge impacts on the people of God in their time.
