Episode Synopsis


In today’s First Pour, Dr. Farmer unpacks 1 Samuel 18:6–16, where Saul’s jealousy toward David reveals the difference between a man who clings to power and one who rests in God’s promise. Through the lens of the New Covenant, listeners discover how David’s story points to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ—the humble King who triumphed not by force but by faithfulness. The lesson challenges believers to trust God’s timing, reject comparison, and live in the confidence of His presence.


 
Then, in The Second Pour, we celebrate birthdays for Joseph Johnson (alumni), Ni Xiong (alumni), Cali in second grade, and Crystal in first grade! Pizza is on the lunch menu today, and while there are no games scheduled, the Berean Baptist Church Men and Boy’s Retreat begin this evening. Remember, there’s no school Friday or Monday—enjoy your four-day weekend and come back refreshed for Tuesday!
