As soon as David becomes king he makes two very important decisions. The first one is the subject of today's study: David establishes Jerusalem as the capital city.

Why is that particular location an important statement about God and Israel's national identity? And what application does that have for our lives today? That's the subject of today's teaching with Pastor Gary.

Join us for this special teaching from Pastor Gary Hamrick and guest speaker Daniel Massieh as they discuss the topics of Islam,ISIS, and how muslims are coming to faith in Jesus Christ.

The book of 2 Samuel picks up where 1 Samuel left off-the death of King Saul. Ironically, the account in 2 Samuel 1 tells us that a young Amalekite man "finished Saul off" after Saul had been critically wounded in battle. It's ironical because the man was an Amalekit-the very people Saul was instructed as king to destroy. But he didn't. The one thing that Saul was supposed to destroy came back to destroy him! How can we fight the battle of the flesh so that we are not destroyed in a similar way? That's the topic of today's study with Pastor Gary Hamrick.

King Saul dies a defeated man (in more ways than one). The closing chapters of 1 Samuel paint a grim picture of a man who started out well, but did not finish well. In desperation, he even consults a medium-a witch-in an effort to get advice. The life and legacy of Saul are tragic reminders to us of what happens when we break fellowship with God. What will be the legacy you leave?

In an attempt to elude Saul, David mistakenly thought that the best place he could hide was in Philistine territory. It was true that Saul wouldn't look for him there, but it was not true that it was "the best place" to be. No matter how bad things get, it is NEVER best to be in enemy territory. This 16-month period in David's life is a picture of a "compromised life" that some Christians sometimes live. But as we will see in David's story, it is often a painful place to be. Join Pastor Gary in today's study that starts in 1 Samuel 27.

King Saul's jealousy and anger toward David led to a murderous heart toward him as well. For the next 8-10 years, Saul would pursue David all over Israel in an attempt to kill him. But how did David deal with this murderous threat? How did he treat the man who opposed him and who wanted him dead? David sets a good example for us in "dealing with difficult people." That's the title of today's message with Pastor Gary Hamrick.
