Pastor Melissa Chaffee - 1 Samuel 24

In our summer series, we are looking at the life of David. In 1 Samuel 24, two men are in a dark cavernous cave, but one exits broken and the other victorious. One with honour even more firmly intact and the other in humiliation. The cave at Engedi was one of the main litmus tests of character for David and Saul. Our character is built by our response to lifes trials, hurts, hopes, dreams. Our responses are based on how we seek to meet three of our basic needs: security, significance, and acceptance. Where and when do we look to God to meet these needs? Where and when do we look to the world and our flesh to instead meet those needs?
