Seeing Through God's Eyes

1 Samuel 16:1-23

1 Samuel 16:1-23 // The narrative of 1 Samuel contrasts the way we see the world with the way God does. We are shortsighted by fearing the unknown, failing to see spiritual realities, and dismissing the grace of God when it is right in front of us. Through his anointed king, God rearranges our sight to look directly at Christ.

The Clarity of The End

May 16, 2021 • Drake Osborn

1 Samuel 31:1-13 // We can summarize the tragedy of Saul with these two observations: 1) self-autonomy brings self-destruction and 2) self-preservation brings idolatry. It's not too late to see the tragedy and bow the knee to the true king.

The Gospel Brook

May 9, 2021 • Drake Osborn

1 Samuel 29:1-30:31 // God's story in bringing his anointed king out of the wilderness comes to a close, and we see three gospel lenses: The Understated Gospel (For The Stuck), The Relentless Gospel (For the Overwhelmed), and The Extravagant Gospel (For The Weary).

The Tragedy of Listening and the Comedy of the Gospel

May 2, 2021 • Drake Osborn

1 Samuel 28:1-25 // Saul's tragic story shows us that God does not answer those who will not listen. The good news is that in the gospel, God in Christ unplugs our ears.
