We return to 1 Samuel this Sunday, picking up the story of David in chapter 20. David’s great acts of heroism are behind him, he is married to the king’s daughter, but his place of privilege is shaky at best. Saul has conspired to kill David and this has sent David out of the king’s presence—David is a man on the run. To whom does David turn in this time of great trial? His beloved friend, Jonathan, Saul’s son. They reiterate the covenant they made together in chapter 18 and then David leaves Jonathan and the court of the king for good, embarking on what is probably a decade long exile. Join us this week as we consider David’s story as an analogy of our own trials and stresses. Is it really possible to be at peace while we’re on the run from the world, the flesh, and the devil? How can we live in anticipation of the fullness of God’s promises when we’ve been pushed into exile? All this and more as we consider again “the gospel according to Samuel."
