Listen "1 Samuel 19: ☧ David Slandered, Save Life to Honor Father"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Robert Paul, pastor of Memorial Lutheran Church in Houston, Texas, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Samuel 19.
“Let not the king sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you.” Jonathan and Michal both prove their love for David in chapter 19 as they risk their own lives to save his. Even as they do so however, they do not dishonor their king and father. They continue to show him respect, and in fact, they honor their father even as they steer him away from committing murder. They navigate their vocations amidst trying circumstances, and they with David prefigure the Lord Jesus Christ, who laid down His life for the ones He loved. Despite Saul’s ruthlessness, his actions cannot help but give glory to God and further the success of His Messiah.
