Join us as we do a deep dive look at Pastor Tim Travis’ messages: From Mountaintops to Caves (Part 4) – David Recovers All: Spiritual Help in Crisis & The Apostles (Part 6) – The Apostle Paul: Life, Conversion, and Commission.
Join us for a powerful deep dive comparing the lives and crises of David and the Apostle Paul, two figures whose experiences laid out the life of the believer throughout Scripture. We explore David’s reaction to the tragic events at Ziklag, where his city was burned and his family taken captive by the Amalekites; although greatly distressed and blamed by his men, David sought spiritual help by inquiring of the Lord using the ephod and was promised he would “recover all”. Our discussion shifts to the incredible journey of the Apostle Paul, detailing his background as a highly educated Pharisee and a free-born Roman citizen who counted his former profitable religious position as “dung” or “refuse” once he met the Risen Lord on the road to Damascus. Paul, who endured extreme persecution, served as the appointed Apostle to the Gentiles, and continually made much of the gospel, proved that citizenship, education, and pedigree mean nothing without Christ, modeling unwavering devotion and commitment. Discover how both men modeled overcoming loss of expectation and finding the antidote to distress through personal encouragement in the Lord.
