Loyalty and Betrayal

Session 4.26 for June 24, 2012

In our Scripture passage today, we see a struggle between Saul and David emerging. David keeps on gaining favor with the people, with God, and even with Saul’s own son. Meanwhile, Saul continues to lose and develops some deep-seated animosity towards David. In our study today, we will examine what means to gain God’s favor and be loyal to our relationship instead of caving to the temptation to become jealous and bitter like Saul.

God's Flexibility

Session 4.24 for June 10, 2012

1 Samuel 8:4-20 tells the story of a God who interacts with God’s people. The Israelite people believed it would behoove them to have a king to rule over them. Although we hear from these verses that this arrangement will end in hardship for the Israelite, God is flexible, allowing the Israelite people to flex their wings and attempt to work things out on their own.

Throughout history, God has been present with humanity. At Pentecost early Christians experience God’s spirit breathing life into them.
