U-turns are permitted in life. We grow, change, fail and succeed. We believe that God is there, that He loves us and will bring us safely through whatever life throws our way. That's why we can make u-turns when necessary with confidence and not fear. This podcast is sponsored by Trinity Christian Reformed Church in Broomall, Pa.

Today we close off our summer series on 1 Samuel. We'll be reading 2 Samuel 1, which describes the tragic death of Saul and Jonathan and David's brokenhearted mourning for them and Israel. The Bible does not avoid disaster. It confronts us with the pain life can bring, either by circumstance or our own doing. But there is always a glimpse of hope, if we will choose to see it.

Today we look at 1 Samuel 25, the story of the fool Nabal, his beautiful, intelligent wife Abigail, and David, who has anger management issues. In Abigail we will see more than a skilled conflict negotiator.

Today we look at the story of the friendship between David and Saul's son, the crown prince, Jonathan. Jonathan took off his royal robe and laid down his weapons to befriend and help David. This is what Jesus did for us, and this gives us the power to befirend each other in real ways.

Today we look at David's anointment as new king of Israel, and his first real test in the battle with Goliath. This story is not primarily a story about an underdog who wins against his giant (so get your rear end in gear and your chin up!) but how each of us faces the challenges life brings us.

This sermon is based on Romans 1:16-17, and is part pf a memorial service held for one of our long-time faithful members, who went to be with his Lord in the week before the sermon. His name is Ken, so when you hear that name that is the person to whom is being referred.

Today we look at 1 Samuel 15, the story of how Saul lost his kingship. We will also talk about God's commands in the Old Testament to utterly destroy enemy tribes. What should we do with those awful passages? Note: After we discussed that topic, we sang together the song "Fairest Lord Jesus" in order to worship Jesus. That has been cut out of the recording.

This sermon is based on 1 Samuel 9-11, Saul's anointing and appointing as king, and his first battle which established his credibility before the people. The question of God's sovereignty stands central - the God who is behind all events, yet the room for personal choices for good and for bad. Note: the microphone battery cut off about two minutes before the end of the sermon. Apologies for that.

Today we examine what Israel really wanted when they asked for a king. What they wanted is also what God wants, and what Jesus ultimately brings. Quote of the day: "Without 'social' there is no gospel".
