Thanks Pastor Skip - it's encouraging to know that God "does not see as man sees (on the outward appearance) but looks on the heart." Especially in today's culture where there is so much emphasis on physical appearance. Also, in considering David's courage to fight Goliath, I'm reminded of one of my favorite verses when the Lord said to Joshua, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Everyone in God's army can claim that! Joshua 1:9. God bless!
Thank you Pastor Skip for teaching the Word of God in a way that draw us in and enlighten us to what's happening in that period of time. May the Holy Spirit continue to use you to teach us .
Thank you pastor Skip I just love the way in which you teach the sermon you put it in a way that is so clear and easy yo understand looking forward to the next lesson. God bless you 🙏
It is hard to do Justice to one of the most famous Bible chapters and Skip makes a great effort, incorporating geography, context of Philistine religious beliefs, and personal passion.
Israel is frequently mentioned-and it is good to have in mind concrete images of these actual locations. However, several people have commented to me that these references about wishing listeners had been there, or can go next time, are off-putting, as not everyone can afford the 5K plus price ticket of the experience. I hope someone from Calvary can respond to this.
At the beginning of chapter 16 David comes to Saul to play music, and Saul asks to have him permanently in his service. Now in 17, it’s as though David is a complete stranger to Saul. Can you help me to understand this seeming discrepancy?
. The notice that was taken of David. Though he had been at court formerly, yet, having been for some time absent (v. 15), Saul had forgotten him, being melancholy and mindless, and little thinking that his musician would have spirit enough to be his champion; and therefore, as if he had never seen him before, he asked whose son he was. Abner was a stranger to him, but brought him to Saul (v. 57), and he gave a modest account of himself, v. 58. And now he was introduced to the court with much greater advantages than before, in which he owned God's hand performing all things for him.
Salvation is most definitely not about feelings neither is worship. That is why some music in the church is very dangerous as it moves your emotions but doesn't change your soul for the Lord. Beware of church services that move emotions and not hearts and minds for changing for the Lord or staying consistent in the Lord.
Thank you Pastor Skip. I enjoy your sermons so much. ❤
I Thank God for your teaching of the bible

He is interesting present this sermon that I can understand.

Re: “we send the leader of our country….” That will be so nice….
🙋💜👍👍👍
Why didn’t he address the discrepancy of ch 16 and 17? Why did Saul sound like he met David for the first in ch 17, when he knew him in ch 16?
Can anyone help me reconcile 1 Samuel 16:19-23, when Saul took David into his service with 1 Samuel 17:58 ?
