Saul Descending -- David Ascending (2)

from Wilderness Wanderings · host Michael Bootsma

A Sunday Sermon edition of Wilderness Wanderings! The text is 1 Samuel 19 from the New International Version of the Bible. Dive In discussion questions are below for further reflection! To see this sermon in the context of the worship service it comes from, find it here on YouTube. Or, head to our website to connect with the worshiping community of Immanuel CRC: immanuelministries.ca DIVE IN! How does the portrayal of David in this chapter (and the last) differ from the way we usually think of him? Does that make him more relatable? David again escapes Saul's murderous attempts several times. What is the story telling us about Saul? David's marriage to Michal has echoes of other marriages in Israel. What do these suggest about the challenges David faces? How is there good news embedded in this story? At the end of the chapter, we read that Saul "stripped off his garments". What does this convey? What New Testament event is foreshadowed at the end of this chapter? Spend some time this week reflecting on Colossians 2:13-15 & Revelation 12.

MRE Podcast MRE Podcast This is a daily devotional podcast for those who want more of God's Word each day. I read the Word and share my insights from the Word. You might ask why do I do this? In the wilderness, the Israelites had to depend on daily mana from heaven to live. They couldn't eat yesterday's nor keep them for the next day. They always lived on the fresh mana each day. We also need to live by the fresh word of God each day. However, often we skip a meal and live on the past encounters with God. Someone of us gets too busy to eat or someone us do not know how or where to start. We need fresh encounters each day with the Lord so that the love of Christ will overflow to others. That's what I am doing, doing my quiet time and feasting and sharing the food with people. Join the Lord's table with me!
