Rescuing Keilah, betrayed by the Ziphim, hunted by Saul, and comforted by God.

Audio: Sunday morning, July 20, 2008 - I believe in eternal life

Bob Feather July 20th, 2008

After they are converted, many new believers read the Gospel of John. This morning’s lesson from Chapter 6 points out some truth that many folks either have never seen or have chosen not to believe-namely, that God will save all of His people, and that all of His people will come to faith in Christ.

Notes: July 20, 2008 - Psalm 63 & 1 Samuel 24

Bob Feather July 20th, 2008

Is God’s lovingkindness better to you than life (Psalm 63:3)?

Does being aside God cause you to rejoice (Psalm 63:7)?

When David has opportunity to kill Saul (1 Samuel 24:3-6,10), he refuses and forbids his men from harming God’s king either. (1 Chronicles 16:22; Psalm 105:15).

Saul asks David’s merciful help to the house of Saul; and David agrees (1 Samuel 24:21-22).

But in 1 Samuel 26:11 we find Saul hunting again for David, and David taking Saul’s spear.

Psalm 63:3
3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Psalm 63:7
7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
1 Samuel 24:3-6,10
3And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
4And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
5And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
6And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
10Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.
1 Chronicles 16:22
22Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Psalm 105:15
15Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
1 Samuel 24:21-22
21Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.
22And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
1 Samuel 26:11
11The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

Notes: July 19, 2008 - Psalms 55 & 67

Bob Feather July 19th, 2008

If it weren’t for David’s many troubles, we would have fewer psalms. If it weren’t for our many troubles, would we pray any less?

David bemoans the fact that someone he knew and loved was prepared to kill him (Psalm 55:12-13). Christ was betrayed by one of His own apostles, too.

Yet David pledges to maintain regular contact with God. Not just once or twice a year, not just once a week, not just once a day. But evening and morning and at noon will he pray (Psalm 55:17).

“Smoother than butter” and “softer than oil” were the words of his enemies (Psalm 55:21); but their hearts were full of hatred for David.

“We shall not be moved” was a battle cry of the American civil rights demonstrators in the 1960’s. The promise, however, is only for the righteous (Psalm 55:22).

In Psalm 67 we learn that not only individuals, but also complete nations should worship God.
