Godly Leadership

David has been making decisions—without God’s guidance. Some good, some almost crazy. But David is a charismatic leader and his 600 men, their wives and children are willing to follow him. But that’s about to come back and bite him. This passage gives us the opportunity to compare David’s leadership with and without God.

The Limitless Grace of God

God never leaves us on our own. His plan for us will always come to pass—even when we get in the way. A study in 1 Samuel 29

Messy Side Up

We forget we are in a war. A spiritual war. Ephesians tells us not to give the devil a place in our lives. With good reason. If we turn from the Lord— we turn somewhere. Saul, on the last day of his life seeks out a medium, with results that he never anticipated.

1 Samuel 28

1 Samuel 28

Practicing the Presence

Life is busy. Life is consuming. And sometimes we forget. We forget that our help and our salvation is in the Lord God. We don’t consult him. We do our own thing.

How do we keep from forgetting the most valuable Person in our life?

The Disconnect

1 Samuel 26

“We may not always live what we profess, but we will always live what we believe. “ Often we profess one thing but our lives do not reflect it. There is a disconnect between our faith and our life. Today will examine the behavoir of King Saul who is experiencing a major disconnect.

I Can Save Myself! No You Can’t!

Judah has turned from the Lord and it trusting in themselves to save them. But it’s not going to go well.

I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

1 Samuel 22. David is in danger, the priests at Nob are in danger, for Saul is obessed with the capture of David. But God has a plan, and in the midst of trouble, He is there and His plan will come together.

Romans 8

How to Build a Church

In 2 Timothy 4:1-5 Paul gives a charge to Timothy about preaching the Word of God. In doing so, he tells us what is foundational in building Christ’s church.

The Great Escape

1 Samuel 19. Saul’s paranoia increases as David’s star rises. So begins “The Great Escape”—spears, henchmen, climbing out windows in the night. Anyone who trusts Jesus as Savior gets a target on their back, for the enemy is like a roaring lion. Pastor Randy discusses the battle and our weapons.

And the Lord was With Him

In 1 Samuel 18 we find that Saul has become aware that the Lord is now with David and Saul becomes jealous and plots secretly against David…but indeed the Lord was with him!

Not Going It Alone

The Christian life can be challenging, but when you try to live it alone—it’s impossible. Learn from the outgoing King Saul and the newly annointed King to be—David.

How God See vs How We See

1 Samuel 16. Samuel is sent to annoint the new king of Israel, he chooses, but God chooses differently…because God sees differently.

The Great Exchange

Romans 5-6

Discover what it means to be a new creature in Christ and how that will give you victory over sin.

An Unfathomable, Personal God

1 Samuel 15 Part 1

God seems pretty simple in fourth grade Sunday School, but if we don’t move beyond a fourth grade understanding of our God, we might find Him insufficient for our adult life. 1 Samuel 15 will expand our understanding of God.

In Name Only

What does it mean to be a Christian? What does that look like? From the way some people act they are Christians in name only. As we look at the life of King Saul, we see a man who wanted to look religious, but his heart and his actions betray him.
