THE WITCH OF ENDOR: (Life of David PT 5.) #99
Manage episode 521647880 series 3447679
We trace David’s narrow path between justice and restraint as Abigail’s wisdom averts bloodshed, Saul’s jealousy returns, and a desperate king seeks answers in the dark at Endor. The thread is conscience under pressure and how God uses ordinary courage to steady future kings.
• mourning Samuel and a somber reflection on public violence
• Apostles’ Creed and the Lord’s Prayer to frame the study
• Nabal’s insult, David’s anger, Abigail’s wise intervention
• mercy chosen over vengeance and Nabal’s sudden judgment
• David’s marriages and a candid look at polygamy in Scripture
• Saul’s renewed pursuit and David’s second act of restraint
• refuge in Philistia, difficult raids, and covenant context
• Saul at Endor, the voice of judgment, and spiritual drift
• closing with gratitude through the Doxology
