  1. Prophet, Priest, & Judge | ZIKLAG, 1 Sam 27 | Week 39

    6d ago

    Prophet, Priest, & Judge | ZIKLAG, 1 Sam 27 | Week 39

    In this passage, David leaves Israel and settles in Gath, living in the tension between calling and promise. While waiting, he drifts into compromise, choosing safety over full trust in God. This story speaks to all of us in the in-between seasons, when we know what God has said, but haven’t yet seen it fulfilled. What we do in the waiting matters. The call is clear: stay faithful. Even when it’s slow, uncertain, or uncomfortable, obedience in the in-between is how we walk toward the promise.

  2. Prophet, Priest, & Judge | Sparing Saul Part 2, 1 Sam 26 | Week 38

    Prophet, Priest, & Judge | Sparing Saul Part 2, 1 Sam 26 | Week 38

    In this passage, Saul continues to pursue David with violence, but David responds the same way again: he refuses to take revenge. Instead, he trusts God to be his judge and defender. When offense is repeated, the temptation to retaliate only grows stronger. But God’s Word calls us to a different way: leave vengeance in His hands. The call is simple, but not easy: trust the righteous Judge to be your avenger and your refuge again and again. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” – Romans 12:19

  3. Prophet, Priest, & Judge | David and Abigail, 1 Sam 25 | Week 37

    6d ago

    Prophet, Priest, & Judge | David and Abigail, 1 Sam 25 | Week 37

    In this passage, David is ready to take revenge, but God intervenes through Abigail, stopping him from making a costly mistake. Instead of giving in to anger and pride, David is reminded to trust God’s justice. This message challenges us to confront how we respond when we’re hurt. Do we take matters into our own hands, or do we trust God to make things right? The call is clear: let go of bitterness, surrender the need to defend yourself, and trust God’s timing and justice. Run to Christ, receive correction, and choose obedience over retaliation. Additional Scripture Ephesians 4:31–32 • Romans 12:19 • 1 Peter 2:23

  4. Prophet, Priest, & Judge |Sparing Saul, 1 Sam 24 | Week 36

    May 13

    Prophet, Priest, & Judge |Sparing Saul, 1 Sam 24 | Week 36

    In this passage, David has the perfect opportunity to take out Saul, but he refuses. Instead of revenge, he chooses restraint, trusting God’s timing over his own instincts. Following God won’t always make sense. In fact, it can feel completely backwards. But what looks outlandish is often where God’s wisdom is found. This message challenges us to ask: What advice or grudges am I holding onto that go against God’s Word? Even good-sounding voices can lead us off course. Trust God's way, it’s always better. “I will not put out my hand against my lord…” – 1 Samuel 24:10

  5. Prophet, Priest, & Judge |The Pursuit, 1 Sam 23:15-29 | Week 35

    May 8

    Prophet, Priest, & Judge |The Pursuit, 1 Sam 23:15-29 | Week 35

    In this passage, David is betrayed by the Ziphites and nearly captured by Saul, but at the last moment, God intervenes. What looked like the end turns into a rescue. This story reminds us that we don’t have to take matters into our own hands. God sees, God knows, and God defends. When we release our desire for control and revenge, we make room for peace and hope. The call is simple: trust God with your enemies and let Him fight your battles. Also referenced: Psalm 54

  6. Prophet, Priest, & Judge | David Rescues Keilah, 1 Sam: 23:1-14 | Week 34

    May 6

    Prophet, Priest, & Judge | David Rescues Keilah, 1 Sam: 23:1-14 | Week 34

    In this passage, David doesn’t move on instinct; he seeks God for direction and then follows through in obedience. His success isn’t random; it’s the result of listening and responding to God’s leading. This message challenges us to go beyond just asking God for guidance. Do we actually follow when He speaks? The question is simple: Have you built a life that not only seeks God’s direction, but obeys it? “David inquired of the Lord…” – 1 Samuel 23:2

  7. Prophet, Priest, & Judge | Saul kills Ahimelech, 1 Sam 22:6-23 | Week 33

    Apr 28

    Prophet, Priest, & Judge | Saul kills Ahimelech, 1 Sam 22:6-23 | Week 33

    This passage reveals what happens when a heart drifts from God, thinking becomes distorted, actions follow, and the end leads toward destruction. But in the middle of that reality, there’s still hope: God provides a place of refuge for those who run to Him. This message calls us to examine our hearts and recognize the danger of living disconnected from God. True safety, hope, and restoration aren’t found in ourselves, but in Christ. The invitation is clear: turn from sin, stop redefining truth, and run to Jesus, our only refuge. Additional Scriptures: Romans 1:21 • James 1:14–15 • Hebrews 6:18
