Sermon Presentations

Just when you think things can’t get any worse, boom! That must have been how David felt in this episode of his life. He’s lost everything in his world – identity, purpose, family, possessions. Where did he turn? Where we all need to turn – he strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

Sāvantvādi In this sermon from 1 Samuel 29, we explore how God’s mercy pursues His people even in their foolishness, how compromise gradually hardens the heart, and how the Lord sometimes rescues us from disasters we don’t even realize we’re heading toward. No matter how far you’ve drifted, God’s mercies are still new every morning.

When God feels distant, where do you turn? In this shocking story from Saul’s life, we’re warned of the dangers of rejecting God’s Word.

What you do when you’re spiritually exhausted and fear wants to take over matters more than you realize. Learn from David’s life – when the faithful live by fear, people pay the price.

When faced with the opportunity to get even, what you choose to do often reveals what you believe about God – about His care for you, His justice, and His mercy. David was presented with just such an opportunity in this chapter. Because he knew his life was precious in God’s sight, he trusted the Lord to take care of his enemies.
