Today is the day to get right with the Lord! As you listen to today's message from Pastor Mike, he shares with you the importance of quickly acting on the move of the Holy Spirit within your heart. Don't put off receiving salvation. Tomorrow is never a guarantee. Pastor Mike encourages you, to receive the free gift of salvation today. Receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Receive forgiveness for your sins. Receive eternal life with the Lord. And rejoice in His presence forever.

Don't forget who you are in Christ! In today's message from Pastor Mike, he explains to you that sometimes you are going to have to remind yourself of who you are. The enemy is always coming with condemnation, doubt, and shame. However, Pastor Mike encourages you, to strengthen yourself in the Lord. Look to God's Word to remember all of the good things He has in store for you. Circle the promises He has made to you. And remember you're His! You are a treasured and beloved child of the Most High God.

Do you feel weary, burdened, or just simply weak? As you listen to today's message from Pastor Mike, he shares with you the importance of looking to the Lord for strength. If you look to yourself and your own flesh, you will have to keep up in your own flesh. However, when you look to the Lord, His strength will sustain you. Pastor Mike encourages you, that you tap into a source that is much deeper and powerful when you go to God. The Lord is limitless in strength and He will give you what you need.

Parents give advice to their children that often isn't followed. Later the child returns needing help because they walked the other way. Pastor Mike shares a real-life story of such an occurrence in today's message. Saul walked away from the course of the Lord and encountered trouble. Back in front of the Lord, Saul needed help that could have been avoided had Saul followed the Lord's guidance the first time around. If you get good advice from the Lord, don't think you know better and chose differently.

Faced with a problematic situation, Saul turned to a medium for help. You likely realize that this was a poor choice. Pastor Mike explains God doesn't want you looking elsewhere for life guidance. If you look to the world to discover what is essential in life, you'll come away thinking a career and money and stuff will make you happy. Striving for these things might bring momentary happiness but not lasting satisfaction. There will always be more to obtain, and you can't even take it with you when you die!

When Saul walked away from the Lord, the Spirit of God was removed from him. This left Saul without a safety net. Now alone, he found himself on the opposite side of a great army. It's unlikely you'll ever be faced with such an enemy, but as Pastor Mike shares in today's message, there is plenty to learn from Saul's disobedience. Because of Saul's disobedience and sin, he lost his faith and courage. When you choose to walk a path that is not in line with the Father’s will, you remove yourself from His protection and blessings.

What happens when you deviate from the Lord's plans? Never anything good! At first, you might only be stepping off the Lord's path, but slowly the divide grows wider and wider. Until one day, you find yourself opposing God. As Pastor Mike shares in today's lesson, never turn to the idols of man for safety. God alone is your refuge and strength. If you realize you've turned your eyes away from the Lord, come back to Him today. Turn back to your Father and the ways of Christ.

Have you ever become stuck in a situation? You obviously can't go back, but going forward doesn't look good. As Pastor Mike shares in today's message, start with prayer. Seek the Lord's guidance by reading Scripture, speaking with God-fearing individuals, and following the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Your Heavenly Father cares about even the small choices that need to be made daily. No matter how big or small, you can turn to the Creator of all things for direction and purpose.

Whenever we're distraught or caught up in several frustrating situations, we can easily lose perspective if we're not careful. Perhaps the perspective we can lose sight of is the importance of being able to gather with God's people. In today's message, Pastor Mike reflects on the heart of David, who felt that the greatest evil out of Saul's pursuit of him, was his lack of ability to worship. In his study, you'll be encouraged to ask yourself how much value you place on worshiping The Lord with others.

Many of us can scarce imagine what it would be like to have someone vehemently hunting us down for years on end. Perhaps even more difficult to imagine is finding ourselves in a position to finally liberate ourselves from the situation, only to turn it down. Enter David. In today's message, Pastor Mike reflects on the faith and trust of David, who refused to assault God's anointed king. In his study, you'll learn about the amazing display of trust on David's part about how God would deal with Saul in due time.
