Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 26 where David and Abishai enter Saul’s camp in the wilderness of Ziph while the King and his army are in a "deep sleep from the Lord." Just because an opportunity presents itself (Saul being vulnerable) doesn’t mean God has given permission to sin. Abishai sees an open door for revenge, but David sees a test of his trust in God’s timing.

Turn with Pastor J. S. Melvin to 1 Samuel 25 and listen to the story of David when he comes into contact with the angry, wealthy, foolish man, Nabal. What we learn is that David's success at restraint in the previous chapter does not necessarily guarantee that David will once again take the high ground when his pride is wounded.

Turn with Pastor J. S. Melvin to 1 Samuel 24 where we see that providence is not the same as permission. David's biggest flex is exercising restraint by not killing Saul when he had the chance.

Turn with Brother Matthew Arnold to Luke 24 and learn powerful truths about the jorney with Jesus on the Road to Emmaus.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, some of the audio is missing. Pastor J. S. Melin takes us to 1 Samuel 23 and shows us through the story of David and his battle with Saul that obedience to God is not a transaction; it is alignment. Always rest in the Lord and know that he has a purpose. Even when you are hunted, you are held.

Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 22 and shows us how God meets us when we are frightened and like David are hiding in the Cave of Adullam. God can turn a cave into a classroom and give us faith to move forward.

Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel Chapter 21 and shows us what it's like when fear takes over our faith, but as we follow the life of David, we find ultimately that there is encouragement in this chapter.

Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 20 and shows us that sometimes we feel, like David, that we have tried to do everything right, but everything is still falling apart. What we find is that sometimes God allows change in our lives, not because we are wrong but because we are ready. Trials are not necessarily corrective; God uses them to prepare us.
