    Rivals Week 2

    We are in week 2 of our Rivals series at Compass Worship. We are looking at some of the rivalries in God's Word and how we can keep from repeating history and see some amazing characteristics of our God. This week we looked at King Saul vs. David (specifically in 1 Samuel 24 & 26). Through this almost one sided rivalry we learned how to truly love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-44). While David had only supported and helped King Saul to find success as king, Saul saw David's rise in popularity as a threat. This perceived threat led to jealous, bitterness and paranoia and a pursuit to end David's life. David however, two different times had a chance to end the rivalry by taking the life of his "enemy." Instead of desiring revenge David chose humility over hostility and chose to trust God with the ultimate outcome. That is loving your enemy! That is the gospel! That God valued us "while we were sinners" and sent His Son to die for us even though we didn't deserve it, even though our sin made us His enemy. Choosing to value all people because all people are valuable to God and trusting that God is the ultimate judge of all hearts and that He is a just God allows us to pursue Jesus command for us to Love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Listen in as Ian, Ava, Dmitri, and Aidan share their takeaways from this week's teaching. Our hope and prayer is that through the Beyond the Building podcast you would continue the conversation of God's Word in your home, on your campus, in your workplace and neighborhood so His gospel can be shared with all.
