Saul Seeking David Seeking God

1 Samuel 23:1-14

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Paul Edwards • 1 Samuel 23:1–14

Give

Identifying with David is dangerous. It has already cost the priests at Nob their lives, and now the people of Keilah are threatened by Saul for harboring the fugitive he seeks.

But our of the evil of Saul's actions at Nob, God has provided David with the gift of an intercessor in Abiathar.

Christians also know that identifying with Christ is dangerous, but He himself is our mediator and intercessor against the threatenings of an evil world.

Saul Responds to David's Restraint

June 2, 2024 • Pastor Paul Edwards • 1 Samuel 24:15–22

In this continuation of our study in 1 Samuel 24, Saul responds to David's restraint in sparing his life.

Leave to Thy God to Order and Provide

June 2, 2024 • Pastor Paul Edwards • 1 Samuel 24:1–14

David is the anointed king, but Saul is the reigning king. For years David has been waiting patiently for God to fulfill His promise to him while being unjustly pursued by Saul, fleeing for his life under continual distress. But now David is presented with an opportunity to seize the throne by force when Saul "happens" into a cave to relieve himself - the same cave where David and his 600 men are sheltered. He's urged by his men to seize the day! But he doesn't do it. What can we learn from David's actions in 1 Samuel 24 to reassure us in our own exasperation that God really will keep his promises to us?

"O God, Save Me!"

May 19, 2024 • Pastor Paul Edwards • 1 Samuel 23:19–28

The Ziphites have disclosed to Saul the hiding place of David which initiates one of the most intense scenes in all of the book of 1 Samuel that ends with David and his men surrounded, destined for certain death at the hands of Saul and his men. But there is an unseen providence at work which is protecting David and preventing Saul from accomplishing his wicked scheme.
