Episode Synopsis

Title: Responding in Love: David’s Heart Toward Saul Anchor Text: Matthew 5:44 Contemporary Quote: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." — Martin Luther King Jr.Leadership is often tested not in victories but in how we handle enemies. David teaches us that love restrains our response and elevates our calling.A leader who loves his enemies gains moral authority. David’s refusal to kill Saul won him the loyalty of others and confirmed his integrity before God.Reflect on this:Who has hurt or betrayed you in your leadership journey?Have you been tempted to retaliate—openly or subtly?How can you show the love of Christ to those who have made themselves your enemies? RecognitionsMusic: Nathaniel BasseyPastor Fola Ogundipe, The Voice of Truth Ministries, Mount View, Minneapolis, USA Olive Tree Bible AppBible versions: AMPC, NLT, NIV, KJVCommentary / Study Bibles:McArthur, Quest SBN, Thompson Chain Reference, NKJV SBN, Chronological LASB NLTReferences & Further ReadingsKeller, T.
