In 1 Samuel 23:15–29, David is hunted, surrounded, betrayed, and nearly captured. Yet in the wilderness, God provides unexpected oases—through a faithful friend, steadfast promises, and providential refuge. This sermon explores how Jonathan strengthened David in the Lord, how God’s promises anchored him in present danger, and how the Lord delivered him to the “Rock of Escape.” Ultimately, the passage points to Jesus—the greater Friend, the true Promise, and our everlasting Refuge in every wilderness.
