What do we do when God is silent? Pastor Lloyd unpacks the dangers of acting without waiting on the Lord when we don’t hear or feel His presence. After the death of the prophet Samuel, Saul, desperate for guidance, turns to forbidden means by consulting a medium. His refusal to wait on God leads him deeper into rebellion. Meanwhile, David faces his own test as he walks the line between survival and loyalty. In seasons of silence, trusting God’s timing is vital because moving ahead without Him always leads to disaster.

Pastor Lloyd explores Proverbs 30, highlighting the mystery of God's wisdom and the need to recognize our human limitations. Pride is a constant temptation, but a right view of God's greatness leads to humility. His Word remains pure, powerful, and fully trustworthy.

In this message, we see David’s faith and hope tested once again as Saul continues to pursue him. Yet in his lowest moments, David discovers a powerful truth: when we are weak, God shows Himself strong. Pastor Lloyd shares how we, like David, can be encouraged that even in trials and uncertainty, the Lord upholds us. He is our strength, our refuge, and the One who faithfully protects those who trust in Him.

Walking in a way that pleases God is essential for every follower of Christ. When we walk in God’s wisdom, we are led toward righteousness, humility, and a life that honors Him. In Proverbs 28–29, we see powerful reminders that the righteous are blessed, while those who stray from God’s ways face trouble. Join us as we explore how to live with integrity and godly wisdom in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction.

God not only provides for His children, but He often does so through those willing to serve Him. In 1 Samuel 25, David finds himself in need, only to be met with the arrogance of a foolish man named Nabal. Pastor Lloyd unpacks how David, provoked to anger, nearly took justice into his own hands with devastating consequences. But God intervenes through a humble and wise servant, Abigail, whose timely intercession spares David from a regrettable act of bloodshed. See how God's providence and the obedience of one faithful woman changed the course of a king's heart and prevented a devastating tragedy.

Pastor Chris was born in 1968 in Pomona, California, and raised in a Southern Baptist pastor’s home. He began ministry at age 19 as a youth pastor, serving faithfully for a decade. In 1998, he and his wife planted Wildwood Christian Fellowship in Yucaipa, later affiliating with Calvary Chapel. For 27 years, Pastor Chris has been faithfully proclaiming the gospel in the Yucaipa Valley.

Acting out of desperation can lead to lasting consequences. In 1 Samuel 24, David learns the value of self-restraint and the importance of walking in the Spirit rather than the flesh. As he flees from Saul, God proves His unfailing faithfulness by protecting David from harm. Through this powerful moment in David’s life, we see a reflection of God’s steadfast love and protection for His people.
