We begin our study on the book of 2 Samuel with David learning of the deaths of King Saul and Jonathan from an Amalekite, who claimed to have killed Saul in order to spare him any more suffering. However, his version of events differs from the battle account recorded in 1 Samuel 31. How will David receive the news of his master's death?

After King Saul and Jonathan are killed in battle, the Israelites have to face the tragic loss of their king and his immediate heir. With the Philistines taking territory away from Israel as a result of their defeat, there were still those who sought to honour their dead king, including David.

When David and his men return to the town of Ziklag, they find it in flames and their families taken away from them. As David faces the prospect of being stoned by his mighty men, he is deeply distressed. However, when David finds strength in the Lord His God, he is determined to go into the enemy's camp and take back everything that was stolen from him.

David and his men are serving in the Philistine army, who are preparing for battle against the Israelites, David's own people. How could the person who killed Goliath now appear willing to serve in their army? Join Pastor Matthew as he investigates David's backslidden season.

NOTE: Due to an audio issue with the original recording, the full sermon is sadly unavailable. We still felt it necessary to publish this video as it touches upon the significant dangers presented by practicing the occult as demonstrated throughout the Bible, including when King Saul goes to visit a medium in 1 Samuel 28. We apologise for the inconvenience

In 1 Samuel 26, David faces near identical circumstances when he is presented with an opportunity to kill King Saul. If you feel you are currently facing the same difficulties over and over again, then watch this sermon and be encouraged by the Word of God.

When David is mocked by a foolish man, named Nabal, it is up to Abigail to redeem the situation and spare the lives of the innocent. Will David listen, or will anger overcome him?

Continuing our David series, we reach a pivotal point in the Biblical narrative. David sees King Saul, the man who had been hunting David down relentlessly, all alone in a cave. It is a perfect opportunity for David to strike Saul down and end his exile. Will he take it?

When David hears that a town in his tribe is being attacked by the Philistines, he must make a difficult decision: Does he save the city but risk alerting Saul of his whereabouts? Or will he remain hidden, leaving the city to be raided?

David has carried many different identities: A shepherd, a musician, a giant slayer, an armour bearer, and Israel's champion. But now, having been forced to flee from King Saul, David must become a nomad. Will David continue to trust the Lord?
