This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 18–20, where we see the rise of David and the growing tension with Saul. As David gains favor and success, Saul’s jealousy turns into fear and hostility, leading him to pursue David. In the middle of this, we see the deep friendship between David and Jonathan—a picture of loyalty, sacrifice, and godly love. The passage reminds us that even in seasons of conflict and uncertainty, God is at work, and faithful relationships matter.

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 17, the familiar story of David and Goliath. While everyone else is focused on the size of the giant, David is focused on the greatness of God. His confidence doesn’t come from his own strength, but from trusting that the Lord will fight for him. The passage reminds us that the battles we face are opportunities to rely on God, knowing that He is greater than anything in front of us.

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 16, where God rejects Saul and chooses David as the next king of Israel. While others focus on outward appearance, God looks at the heart, reminding us that His ways are different from ours. David, an unlikely shepherd, is anointed, showing that God often calls and uses people the world might overlook. The passage challenges us to trust God’s perspective and to cultivate hearts that are fully devoted to Him.
