This week Reuben shares from 1 Samuel 17:1-37 

** this recording was made at Rostrevor Baptist on Oct 3**

The Book of 1 Samuel outlines the fall of King Saul & David's rise to the throne as a humble servant of God.

It tells the dramatic story of Israel's desire for an earthly king to rule over them.

Despite God's warning that such a king would fall short, God relents and King Saul rules with disastrous consequences.

A faithful king is on the rise, however it's only by coming to God in humility and obedience that their - and our - greatest hopes can be fulfilled.

Apart from being a beloved part of our community, Reuben is also the Baptist Chaplin to Adelaide University. Reuben is married to Jodie and the Dad of two wonderful girls. There really isn't much that Reuben can't do, whether its creating a beautiful meal or coffee, repairing a roof or building a picket fence.
