Samuel 25 “Meaningful Memorials”
This
chapter begins with the death of Samuel, a judge, prophet, and priest. We’re
also introduced to another man who gets a ‘dishonorable mention,’ Nabal. Nabal
also dies. The memory of the way these two men lived their lives couldn’t be
further apart. One is remembered for his life of devotion to God. The other is
remembered for a life centered upon himself. How we want to be remembered may
help determine how we live our lives.

Samuel 22 & 24 “Of Mice and Men”
This
week we will learn from David about loving our enemies, letting God be judge,
and trusting Him with the ultimate outcomes of our circumstances. Saul tries to
control circumstances, while David learns to trust in God’s plan and timing.

Where was David’s Mom?
David is rather young when he steps up to face his Giant. You’ve got to wonder where his mother was when he volunteered for this fight. At some point, we all have to leave the safety of home and face our giants. But as David reminds us, we do not face them alone. God goes before us and is with us in the face of all adversity.

Luke 11:40-56 “Believe: Jairus’ Daughter”
Jesus,
became less so that we might become more. Not only did he become human and walk
among us, he was also intentional about seeing the individual’s as he walked
from one place to another. In this story, we’ll see how Jesus greeted
‘distractions’ as ‘encounters.’ Those others easily overlooked, were people
Jesus took time to see and be attentive to. Jesus believed in what the Father
was doing in another’s life and he took time to both notice and encounter the
individual.
