Sin always has consequences. Scripture teaches that plainly. It affects the sinner directly, of course, but it rarely stops there. Sin has a way of reaching outward—touching, wounding, distorting the lives of others, sometimes in ways the sinner never intended and never imagined. One of the more sobering realities of life in a fallen world is that sin is never a purely private affair. It leaks. It seeps. It spreads. And sometimes the consequences fall most heavily on those who did nothing to deserve it.

So, the question I want us to explore in this episode is simple but important: What is the ultimate consequence of sin?

People like to sort life into neat, tidy categories. And Christians are no exception, we often like to sort life into straightforward ways of approaching things, tidy categories: right and wrong, black and white, faithful or unfaithful.

But what if I told you that a man of sincere faith — a man who deeply loved God, a man the Scriptures themselves describe as having a heart after the Lord — once found himself in a place of great fear, and in that moment… he lied.

The man I’m talking about is David. The story we are about to enter, recorded in 1 Samuel 21, is the beginning of that long, exhausting, ten-year season where David lived on the run. sheltering in caves, hiding in the shadows, and in these moments when fear pressed in— some of the deepest spiritual lessons emerge…..

Friends can be fickle. You’ve probably heard someone say, “When you get into trouble, you find out who your real friends are.” Many of us have lived long enough to know just how true that is.

But, what is a true friend? What does genuine, God-honouring friendship look like?

One of the greatest pictures of true friendship in all of Scripture—and indeed in all of ancient literature—is tucked away in 1 Samuel. It’s the story of Jonathan, the son of King Saul, and his relationship with David. Some have called it the finest illustration of loyal friendship ever written.
