Series: 2 Thessalonians 2025
Duration: 40 mins 3 secs
A secondary problem in this church was people who did not work, but took advantage of the generosity of those gainfully employed. Paul addressed it in his first letter. Apparently they did not get the message, so Paul is more forceful in this passage. Get a job!

Passage: 1 Samuel 26:1-28:25
Series: 1 Samuel
Duration: 53 mins 8 secs
These chapters are filled with intrigue. David spares the life of the King - again; Not trusting King Saul, David makes an alliance with the enemy, the Philistines, but uses deception to begin cleansing territory later to be in his Kingdom. When God will not answer Saul, he consults a witch to summon Samuel from the region of the dead!

Series: 1 Samuel
Duration: 53 mins 54 secs
David is spared a lifetime of guilt; In a moment of haste and anger he is on the march to kill the "harsh and badly behaved" Nabal and all of his male employees. But Nabal's "discerning and beautiful" wife, Abigail, intervenes and calms David's anger. This is a great episode in David's climb to the throne.

"He will establish you and guard you against the evil one." Establish is to strengthen. The very character of God is your guarantee of strength and protection in Christ. This is reminiscent of Romans 8:31-39.
