As David solidifies his grip on the throne, enemies become allies and allies become killers. And lament keeps being the note of David’s songs in a supposedly happy time in his life. How does Israel’s greatest king show us the way to face forward?

1 Samuel ends and 2 Samuel begins with the death of Saul and David finally having a clear path to the throne. The long, slow decline of Saul reaches its inevitably conclusion and we might then expect to see David jumping for joy. He is safe. He is king. But that's not at all what we see.

The Kingdom of God is diverse in race, age, class and station in life. As a church we are called to go to places and be in relationships where we are uncomfortable for the sake of this Kingdom. Anthony preaches in Philippians this week as Paul reminds us of the King we follow and his call to His church.

In 1 Samuel 28, we find one of the strangest stories in the Bible. Samuel died earlier in the book... but he makes a comeback. Resurrection? Nope. Witches, necromancy, and really bad news.

1 Samuel 26 finds David backed into a cave, but with a chance to take down the sitting king. He’s a skilled killer with a perfect opportunity. The story ends with an apology. How does that happen?

Christ is Risen! Happy Easter everyone! Join us this Easter as we look at the story of Easter through the lens of David's friendship with Jonathan.

In light of yesterday's marches across our nation, Anthony shares some thoughts on how we, as followers of Christ, are to be active peacemakers in our community.

From the highest of highs when he killed Goliath, David sinks into a much darker place, as Saul decides to use him for target practice. David's enemies are not just found in the Philistine's camp. Now they're coming from Israel as well.

David and Goliath is maybe the most famous story in the Bible. Boy meets giant. Boy throws rock. Boy takes down giant. It has become just another way to call something an underdog story. But is it really? David doesn’t seem to think so.

After several chapters of disappointment from Saul, the narrative of 1 Samuel looks for a hero of some kind. 1 Samuel 16 is the introduction of the new king, is found in an unlikely place. Just the kind of place God likes fo work.
