King David subdued his enemies, strengthened Israel, and made preparations for the building of the Temple. The result of obedience is victory! Once the Kingdom was established and the borders were secured, King David remembered his covenant with Jonathan and showed loyal love to his son, Mephibosheth. Like Mephibosheth, we can be adopted into the [...]
Galatians 4:18-30 – Waxer Tipton (One Love Ministries)
"Back to Bondage - pt 2" - Rabbi Paul teaches the Galatians and us the difference between the Old Covenant (i.e., the covenant of the Law) vs. the New Covenant (i.e., the covenant of grace). He compares the old covenant to Hagar, which was man's attempt at acheiving God's will, and the New Covenant to [...]

2 Samuel 7 – Mike Archibald (One Love Ministries)
King David wanted to bless God by building Him a Temple, but instead, God ended up making a covenant with David and blessed him beyond what he could have imagined! Sometimes God says "no" because He wants what's best for us. The Lord doesn't need us to do anything for Him, He just wants us...our [...]

We see a pattern of people hearing, fearing, and then reacting. If we choose to fear man, we will be people of fear living in stress and anxiety, [...]
2 Samuel 2 – Waxer Tipton (One Love Ministries)
After King Saul's death, David sought the Lord and went up to live in the city of Hebron, where the men of Judah annointed him King over Judah. However, Abner made Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, king over Israel. Civil war broke out and many lives were lost. Just because somehthing is of the Lord, doesn't mean [...]
1 Samuel 31 – 2 Samuel 1 – John Honold (One Love Ministries)
According to God's Word, the chapter of King Saul came to a close, while a season of opportunity for Israel began with David. The Philistines hung King Saul's body on the city wall. The enemy's agenda is always to make a fool of us and celebrate death. However, David did not celebrate King Saul's death, [...]
