A Bad Way To Die

November 24, 2024 • Matt Embry • 1 Samuel 28, 1 Samuel 31

The conclusion of our journey through 1 Samuel focuses on the tragic end of King Saul, challenging us to examine our faith and relationship with God. True surrender goes beyond religious activities; it involves a heartfelt commitment to follow God's will. Saul's life serves as a warning that partial obedience and superficial faith lead to spiritual downfall. We must prioritize our relationship with God, trust His timing, and repent of unconfessed sin to maintain fellowship with Him.

Wait For It

Life often throws unexpected challenges our way, leaving us questioning God's plan. By examining David's life, we learn valuable lessons about patience, faith, and obedience. David's highs and lows, including his encounter with Saul in the cave of En Gedi, teach us to trust God's timing and resist taking matters into our own hands. Practical steps include resisting revenge, seeking joy in God, avoiding compromise, and being patient.

When Fear Is The Driving Factor

October 27, 2024 • 1 Samuel 23, 1 Samuel 21, 1 Samuel 22

Fear can often drive our decisions, leading to unintended consequences. By examining David's journey through Nob, Gath, Adullam, and Hereth, we learn valuable lessons about faith, integrity, and trusting in God. David's lies at Nob led to tragedy, his compromise in Gath resulted in humiliation, but his transformation at Adullam showed God's power to change lives. Ultimately, David's accountability at Hereth teaches us the importance of owning our sins and seeking forgiveness.
