    The ability to trust someone is not born overnight. It is an entity that develops in the bosom of a relationship.

    THE TRUSTING HEART The webster’s dictionary describes trust as “confidence in a person or thing because of the qualities one perceives or seems to perceive in him or it.” This ability to trust someone is not born overnight.

    This message takes a somewhat detailed look at First Samuel 28, the record of King Saul's interaction with the woman who has a familiar spirit.

    In 1978 or 1979, I was told about family members driving to Nashville – I’m from Tennessee – to see a lady because there were things going on in their lives that they didn’t understand.

     | 1,092 views

    David, an anonymous shepherd boy living in the hills of Judea, was the person whom God would raise up to be Israel's greatest king, the author of numerous psalms, and be referred to as "a man after God's own heart".

    Three thousand years ago, the LORD God chose a young man by the name of David to be the king of Israel. Out of all the sons of Jesse, God's favor came to rest on David. He was the youngest son of Jesse, a poor farmer from the tiny hamlet of Bethlehem. David, on the surface, was a nobody ...read more

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 4, 2024
     | 844 views

    The choice of David to be the next king of Israel shows His Sovereignty in action, but also shows that He is a God of Surprises.

    "NOW the Lord said to Samuel, 'How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.' And Samuel said, 'How can I go? If ...read more

    God See's Different

    Contributed by Jung Lee on Jan 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,127 views

    In 1 Samuel 16, the Bible tells us, 'People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.' This simple line is so powerful. It reminds us that what truly matters is not how we look on the outside but what's in our hearts.

    Today, I want us to think about the world around us. It's very different from the world we read about in the Bible. In our time, influenced by media and the internet, there's a big focus on looking good and staying healthy. Social media, TV, and other media often set high standards for ...read more
