“The God-Dependent Savior”

1 Samuel 23:1-14 - Jerry Scheumann

As David is hunted by Saul, we see David's faithfulness as God's Anointed One in contrast to King Saul. David demonstrates that he is the True Anointed by his great love, dependence upon God, and humility. In seeing David's faithfulness, we see a picture of the far greater King, the Son of David, and His great care for us.

“Ebenezer: Till Now the LORD Has Helped Us”

1 Samuel 7:2-17 - Jerry Scheumann

In God's deliverance of Israel out of the hands of the Philistines, see that God is a God who abundantly helps those in need, and He helps those who don't deserve it. Our proper response to God's help ought to be grateful remembrance in the past and confident hope for the future.
