Both were men of clay, but Saul's end is startling as it punctuates the seriousness of chronically living in rebellion against God. The good sign? Saul could not be happy there.

But their moorings, destinies and their outcomes are instructive with regard to how the Lord deals with the each of us in grace. Saul will die a fearful death and David will be delivered. But Saul is ultimately eulogized by David.

But his lack of any depth in the relationship and his reactive seizure of a throne he has divinely had to forfeit, lead him to stumble again. We can learn from Saul that believers must choose to cooperate with God or may find themselves contending with Him. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/53116140210 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 31 May 2016 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:38:33 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/52616148430 In this passage we see King Saul going dark. He once was seemingly humble and reluctant to take the royal position, But by the end of chapter 14, he becomes obsessed and this leads to great distress of God's people on many fronts. His buoyancy gives way to a brutishness among the people. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/52616148430 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 06 Feb 2016 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:36:23 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/523162231556 Jonathan made a Proposition, had a Plan and found the assistance of God's Power. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/523162231556 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 03 Feb 2016 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:36:04 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/616151522110 After being reluctant to assert himself due to Samuel's sobering indictment of Israel proper, Saul finally begins to take the reins in his kingdom. In so doing, Jonathan sets up a provocation of the Philistines, which leads to them to respond with intimidation. Saul panics and prematurely offers a sacrifice and places his kingdom on the scary ground of desecration. Thus the chapter closes with the people experiencing an ongoing humiliation. All was avoidable if king Saul would have obeyed a single command. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/616151522110 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 16 Jun 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:38:55 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/61515143552 The people chose a king to farm out the responsibility of personally and corporately trusting the Lord. They were content to trust a human king rather than the sovereign LORD. And while God still gives them tokens of grace and promises of mercy, the people would find their experience with God would be complicated. Ours is to seek simplicity in our relationship with Him through a healthy fear of forfeiting His best in our day to day. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/61515143552 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 15 Jun 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:39:15 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/611515324810 God stirs up a crisis in Israel in order to bring Saul into his ordained office. We see here the Harassment of an Enemy, the Help of the Lord and ultimately, the Honoring of His King. We are to rule and reign one day with the Lord Jesus. But if we are to be prepared for that lofty role, there will have to be a tempering of our faith in the crucibles of crisis. They will bring out the best in us and will help us recognize the Lord's work in fitting us for that new role. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/611515324810 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 01 Jun 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:34:54 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/521151526231 Saul's selection as king is confirmed by Samuel's support, spiritual signs, supernatural sayings and special significance. His natural giftedness will make his acceptance easier, but his spiritual shallowness will ultimately present a problem for him. By way of application, his humility and reluctance to take his place as king speaks to believers who often struggle to walk as saints because of our tendency to lean too heavily upon our natural abilities. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/521151526231 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 21 May 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:45:49 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/51115151762 Saul is led by God into a place of victory and exaltation through the crucible of loss, the discipline of looking and the mystery of his longings. When we understand that God knows the end from the beginning and the machinery of each life, we can then cooperate with these processes and find the abundant life that He has specially prepared for us. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/51115151762 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 11 May 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:44:13 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/55151730232 The people ask for a king, but the real story centers on Samuel. When the people get ahead of God, he struggles with feelings of personal failure, vicarious fear and looming disaster. But the Lord encourages Him by making clear that the people were actually rejecting Him and that He would work even through that. We learn here much about kings, sovereignty and the burdens of serving Christ. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/55151730232 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 05 May 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:45:41 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/421151514564 The people went from loathing God to longing for God; they remembered Him, returned to Him and fully repented both personally and nationally. Samuel's keen eye perceived the genuineness of their hearts, revisited the core sacrifice of a lamb and interceded therewith for them, and God answered miraculously with a full deliverance seldom seen any where else in Israel's history. Would to God America would follow their lead! https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/421151514564 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 21 Apr 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:44:07 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/41815136136 The Philistines consider how they might return the Ark and stumble upon several ideas that illustrate much that we know about repentance and grace. They came with a gift; they found that it's important to afford God the glory He deserves; and they ultimately watched Him demonstrate His greatness as a result. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/41815136136 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 18 Apr 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:45:50 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/331151042347 The ark has fallen to the Philistines and what occurs is not unlike what happens when all who dismisses God when they sense He has become somehow a manageable reality to them. He goes to work on their consciences by pressing a heavy hand of continual warning upon them. A nation or individual can then either angrily resist or appropriately respond to His "witness". https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/331151042347 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 01 Apr 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:49:04 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/3161513261610 Here we see Samuel come to the place where he recognizes God's voice at an early age and then experiences His personal call on His life. It of necessity required that he be conditioned through the undertaking of a difficult task and then, when successful, be publicly confirmed as having God's seal upon his life. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/3161513261610 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:44:36 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/316151654571 In the dark times under Eli's priesthood, the people navigate without a clear idea of what is true and right. Hence the Lord reproves them in their day to day challenges. They find His retributions for their sin, the chaotic remembrances of the heathen and the reaping of the whirlwind in the loss of Israel's special testimony at home and abroad. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/316151654571 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:44:26 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/310151659170 In part 2 of chapter 2, the Lord shows us the sin of Israel, the solace of Israel and the sign in Israel. Each has profound implications for the modern day Church, where ministers can become manipulators, children are often oppressors (cf. Isa. 3:12) and fathers are weakened by a lack of conviction. Thankfully, God always has a man in the wings to bring solace to His people. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/310151659170 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:47:10 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/39151729265 God gives Hannah a song during one of the darkest times of Israel's history. The priesthood is corrupt and the Word of Lord is scarce. But she has received mercy and deliverance that has animated her faith and illuminated her heart. Her experience teaches us that the darkness around us need be no impediment to our ability to pierce the darkness and transcend the oppressions foisted upon by whatever circumstances we are called to face! https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/39151729265 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 09 Mar 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:39:13 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/3515170381 We begin a study of I Samuel gleaning lessons about deprivation, persecution, prayer and promise. Hannah knew God and received from Him a promise that would satiate her soul in the midst of so much static that one would think she might faint. But she prevailed and came forth as gold through her trials and in the end, was able to rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. https://www.faithbaptist1.us/sermons/3515170381 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 05 Mar 2015 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Dave Davenport 0:46:34 no Pastor Dave Davenport - Samuel Series
