1 Samuel 27:1 to 28:2 - A Godless heart

God is absent from David's thinking but God has not changed or gone anywhere. We see the great danger in looking inside ourselves or elsewhere for answers and yet at the same time there is the grace of God at work . God is so gracious to us he even allows us to serve and succeed when we are faltering in our faith, but things only turn around for David when he starts talking to God again.

Mark 6:45 to 56 - It is I, do not be afraid

Jesus is God with us. He does what only God does, he “passes by" like the glory of God and he speaks to re-assure his fearful people.
We need to recognise this and be transformed from amazement and fear to faith and to receive Messianic blessings. To listen to Graham Nicholls preaching from Mark 6:31 to 44 on Sunday evening 2nd February 2014 use the link below. Click here to listen in your own player or save a copy

1 Samuel 26:1 to 25 - A gracious heart

David shows honour to Saul because he trusts God will in the end bring about his purposes and bless the righteous.
