We read in the Bible that God is perfect and he is powerful.

So why does God allow all the evil we see in the world?

Especially in the face of the horrific tragedies, it’s a question we can’t help but ask.

How do we process what we know about God and what we see in the world?

It’s a question might even come your way, as we’re asking God for increased boldness to share our faith. Are you equipped to answer it?

This Sunday, we heard how God handles evil as we continued in 1 Samuel. The Bible has timeless truth for us today, and as we unpack the answer to this question, it will help sharpen your faith and prepare you to confidently share more of God’s story.

This Sunday, we explored what happens next in 1 Samuel. After David says goodbye to his best friend Jonathan, he goes on the run for his life.

David is so afraid that he resorts to lying–multiple times–to save his neck. Later, he finds himself in a such a dangerous situation that he even pretends to be crazy and drools down his chin to get away unharmed.

When you think about how tense it must have been for David, and how it probably seemed like there were no other options, David's decision makes sense. We’ll talk more about his decision to lie on Sunday, and how it shows us how God works through flawed people.

Despite all of the messiness in his life, David is also an imperfect picture of Jesus.

You’ll also hear about how like David, we have a redeemer and a provider in God, and how even in the worst of times we can be secure and confident with our hope in Him.

This Sunday, we continued in 1 Samuel and unpacked more about the power of the friendship between David and Jonathan.

What you'll discover in this text is that there was actually no reason for David and Jonathan to be best friends. In fact, there was every reason for them to be the fiercest of enemies.

David would have actually been an obvious threat to Jonathan, the potential heir to his father Saul's throne. But as we'll see this Sunday, God works in surprising ways and through the bond of these two men showing how his rule and reign is sovereign and complete.

This friendship against all odds not only shows us the power and importance of healthy friendship, but leads us to examine the incredible commitment that Christ has with us.

As we continue in 1 Samuel, this episode has all the elements of a royal drama. War, betrayal, alliances, conspiracy, and even attempted murder!

It’s a raw, real-life account that shows no matter how ugly things get, God is still on the throne. No interference or opposition can oppose his plan.

You’ll see how even when things look desperate, God is still working and his plan is unstoppable.
