This Sunday we’ll be looking at the rest of 1 Samuel.  Please, with Bible in hand, look at the outline at the bottom of the page over the next few days.  You will get much more out of the message if you do so.  And, Lord willing, the rest of the month will go this way:

Aug. 2: 1 Sam.18-31,  the longest narrative of misery, rebellion, etc. of one man  in all Scripture;
Aug. 9: We will see David, through his cryy to God in Psalm 13
Aug. 16, 2 Sam. 1-10, the beginning of David’s reign, his victories,
Aug 23: Psalm 20 and/or 21, David’s “journal” of the above victories
Aug 30: David’s failure with Bathsheba, 2 Sam.  11-12

May God’s Holy Spirit teach us – and may we listen!!!  Pastor Jim
