What do hard times reveal about your hope? In Chapter 30, the Philistines advanced toward the Jezreel Valley for a final showdown with Saul, while David headed south to Ziklag to discover his land burned and his families taken. Here's how David responds in 1 Samuel 30:7-10. And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. And David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue after this band? Shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and shall surely rescue.” So David set out, and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed. But David pursued, he and four hundred men. Two hundred stayed behind, who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor. — 1 Samuel 30:7-10 David and Saul faced immense external pressures—enemies advancing and personal losses—and both were pressed from within by fear and desperation. Yet their responses could not have been more different, revealing the foundations of their faith. Saul, in Chapter 28, turns to the forbidden. In his desperation, he seeks out a medium, the Witch of Endor, hoping for answers. Saul's decision highlights his lack of relationship with God. He resorts to man-made solutions, which ultimately leave him more hopeless than before. This action is the culmination of Saul's life of self-reliance and disobedience. Instead of finding relief, he sinks deeper into despair, paving the way for his tragic end. David shows us a better way in Chapter 30. Upon finding Ziklag burned and his family taken captive, he doesn't act impulsively or turn to ungodly solutions. Instead, he strengthens himself in the Lord (1 Samuel 30:6) and seeks God's guidance. By calling for the ephod, David demonstrates a heart fully dependent on God. His inquiry is met with clarity and hope: “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and rescue.” David's reliance on God not only brings assurance but also restores direction and unity among his men. The contrast between these two leaders reminds us of an essential truth: Hard times reveal where your hope resides. Like Saul, we can be tempted to seek quick fixes in worldly wisdom or human advice. But true relief comes when, like David, we let the hard task ahead reveal that our hope is only in the Lord, who is our strength and our salvation. #FaithUnderPressure, #HopeInGod, #StrengthInTrials Ask This: When life presses in, do you seek God first, or do you look for relief elsewhere? What steps can you take today to strengthen your relationship with him so turning to God becomes your natural response in times of need? Do This: When it's hard, which could be today, find your hope in the Lord. Pray This: Lord, when trials press in, help me to turn to You as my source of strength and hope. Teach me to trust Your guidance and depend on Your promises, no matter how hard the road ahead may seem. Amen. Play This: Hope Has A Name.

How did Saul use sorcery? Did he really see Samuel? What prophecy was given to him?

A new MP3 sermon from Christ Covenant Reformed Presbyterian is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 28 (2024) Subtitle: Scripture Readings Speaker: Rev. Todd Ruddell Broadcaster: Christ Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Event: Sunday - PM Date: 11/24/2024 Bible: 1 Samuel 28 Length: 24 min.

Have you ever fallen flat on your face? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. In this chapter, King Saul is at rock bottom. He's been abandoned by God, tormented by fear, and reduced to consulting a witch. His desperation is matched only by his hopelessness when Samuel's spirit tells him the worst: there's no escape. Tomorrow's battle will end in his death. Here is how he responds to the news in 1 Samuel 28:20-25: Then Saul fell at once full length on the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night. And the woman came to Saul, and when she saw that he was terrified, she said to him, “Behold, your servant has obeyed you. I have taken my life in my hand and have listened to what you have said to me. Now therefore, you also obey your servant. Let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.” He refused and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, urged him, and he listened to their words. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed. Now the woman had a fattened calf in the house, and she quickly killed it, and she took flour and kneaded it and baked unleavened bread of it, and she put it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they rose and went away that night. — 1 Samuel 28:20-25 Saul crumples under the weight of the news, lying face down on the ground, paralyzed by fear and weakened from fasting. But what happens next is unexpected. The very woman he turned to in disobedience—the Witch of En-Dor—steps in to care for him compassionately. She risks her life again by preparing a meal to sustain him. This is a strange scene. Saul, the chosen king of Israel, is reduced to eating a final meal prepared by a witch. It's a sad and sobering reminder of what happens when we live without total dependence on God. Saul's decisions led him to this moment. Step by step, he prioritized his pride over obedience, human approval over divine direction, and his desires over God's will. Staring death in the face should shift life into focus. When we stare death in the face, life suddenly becomes crystal clear. We realize how brief our time is and how much our choices matter. Every funeral I've officiated has been a sobering reminder of this truth. We're not thinking about our accomplishments, possessions, or accolades in those moments. Instead, we're confronted with questions: What will be said of me, and where will I spend eternity? Saul's story is tragic because he had so many chances to turn back to God, but he didn't. His pride, fear, and sin led him to a desperate, empty end. And here's the thing: Saul didn't have to finish life by falling on his face. Neither do you. If you're reading this today, it's not too late. You still have the opportunity to surrender your life to Jesus and let Him rewrite your story. The brevity of life isn't meant to paralyze us like it did Saul; it's meant to wake us up. Jesus Christ came to give you new life—an eternal one filled with hope, forgiveness, and purpose. He gave His life on the cross for your sins, and He rose from the grave to conquer death for you. But here's the key: you have to make a decision. You must trust Him, let go of your pride and sin, and follow Him wholeheartedly. Don't wait until it's too late, like Saul. If you feel God stirring in your heart today, I invite you to take that step. Pray this simple prayer: “Jesus, I need You. I believe You died for my sins and rose again to give me life. Forgive me for my sins and take control of my life. I choose to follow You today and every day. Amen.” If you prayed that prayer, you've just made the most important decision of your life. Let me know by leaving a comment below. #EternalPerspective, #ChooseJesus, #LifeAndLegacy Ask This: Are you living in a way that reflects dependence on God or reliance on yourself? What steps can you take today to prepare for eternity with Jesus? Do This: Don't fall on your face. Pray This: Lord, help me see the brevity of life and turn to You with all my heart. I surrender my pride and choose to follow You today. Amen. Play This: We Fall Down.

Is God not answering? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. King Saul is freaked out right now. God is not answering, and this is what he decides to do. 1 Samuel 28:8-9: So Saul disguised himself and put on other garments and went, he and two men with him. And they came to the woman by night. And he said, “Divine for me by a spirit and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you.” The woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the necromancers from the land. Why then are you laying a trap for my life to bring about my death?” — 1 Samuel 28:8-9 Saul is working very hard to ignore God's silence! Saul's issue wasn't that God wouldn't answer; it was that God's silence was the answer. Saul had spent years hardening his heart through disobedience. His life was a string of compromises, and now, in desperation, he wants God to come through on his terms and timeline. But God's silence was God's answer to Saul's unrepentant heart. Instead of addressing the core issue—his sin—Saul doubles down, disguises himself, disobeys God again, and seeks out a medium. He knew it was wrong; after all, he had banned necromancers from the land! But Saul wanted what he wanted, even if the means of a medium meant disobeying God again. Isn't that how we can act sometimes? When we don't get the answer we want—or no answer at all—we panic. We rush ahead, trying to make things happen our way. But sometimes, the silence is God's way of pointing us to the core issue: our sin and disobedience. Often this is not the answer we want, but it is the one God wants. So, if you're in a season where God seems silent, ask yourself these four questions: Am I open to hearing His solution, or do I only want a quick solution? Am I seeking His will for my life or help for my immediate circumstances? Am I asking God to fix my situation or to refine my soul? Am I ready to accept His plan, or do I want Him to approve my plans? #GodsTiming, #TrustInTheSilence, #ObedienceMatters Ask This: How do I typically respond when God seems silent? Do I seek His will or rush to my own solutions? Is there any unaddressed sin or disobedience in my life that could hinder my connection with God? Do This: Listen carefully in the silence. Pray This: Lord, help me to trust Your silence and seek Your will instead of rushing ahead with my own plans. Reveal any sin in my life that keeps me from hearing You clearly. Amen. Play This: Trust In God.

Are you talking with the wrong people? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. King Saul is freaked out right now. He glared down at an inevitable war with his two great enemies, Achish and David. And in his despair, he will do exactly what he shouldn't. Let's read verses 6-7: And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets. Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, there is a medium at En-dor.” — 1 Samuel 28:6-7 Are you talking with the wrong people? In Desperation, We Make Devastating Choices Saul's fear drove him to desperation, and in that desperation, he made a devastating choice. This decision not only disobeyed God's orders (Deuteronomy 18:10-12) but also disobeyed his own order and reflected his unwillingness to listen to God in his anxiety and impatience. We often do the same, don't we? When life presses in and we feel anxious, we can seek answers in all the wrong places. We might turn to: People: People who have opinions that are opposed to God. Friends: Friends who only tell us what we want to hear. Feelings: Your own feelings that lead you astray. Time To Evaluate So today, I want you to evaluate: Have you deafened your ears to God and turned to consulting the wrong people? Instead, try this: Talk with God in prayer about your issues. Dig into God's Word by reading Scripture. Seek counsel from God-fearing people. Just so you know, consulting mediums are not the right medium. #SeekGodFirst, #GodlyWisdom, #RightVoices Ask This: Who are you turning to for advice when you're anxious—God, His Word, or people who may lead you astray? How can you ensure you listen to God's voice rather than letting fear guide your decisions? Do This: Consult with God and his people. Pray This: Lord, help me to seek Your wisdom above all else and trust Your timing, even when I feel anxious or afraid. Guard my heart from turning to the wrong voices and guide me to listen to You alone. Amen. Play This: God Who Listens.

Are you in a mess? Maybe it is time to reach out for help. Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. At the beginning of Chapter 28, we got a snapshot of what was going on with Achish (the Philistine King) and David, who were planning to go to war with Israel. But for much of the rest of the chapter, we are going to jump to King Saul, and we are going to see a spiritual downward spiral that is demonic. This has been the trajectory of his life and legacy, so let's see what happens first in verses 3-5: Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the necromancers out of the land. The Philistines assembled and came and encamped at Shunem. And Saul gathered all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa. When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. — 1 Samuel 28:3-5 The Weight of Opposition Saul realizes that powerful and longstanding opposition is coming after him—the Philistines and David. David had been merciful many times, but Achish would not be. Considering both were acting in tandem, it was emotionally overwhelming for Saul. In addition, the Judge and Prophet who once provided Saul direction in these moments, Samuel, is gone, and he had ordered the slaughter of all the other priests. Therefore, Saul is about to be attacked, emotionally distraught, and lacking a voice of wisdom, and now he is looking for something, anything, to grab hold of in the mess he has made. If you have been in this situation, you know nothing is more lonely. Like Saul, we all face challenges that seem insurmountable, whether they're personal struggles, leadership crises, or spiritual battles. The Missing Components But those of you who have been reading Saul's story with me know that Saul made this mess. His spiritual rejection, disobedience, resistance, and denial of community support led him to this outcome. My advice is not to do what Saul did. Instead, GRAB onto these principles and avoid the mess altogether: Guidance: Keep your connection with God strong. Repent: Acknowledge and correct your mistakes. Adhere: Follow God's guidance faithfully. Brotherhood: Foster a supportive faith community. Time To Grab Hold? Maybe today, as you hear this, you feel overwhelmed by life's challenges. You've been trying to face the battles of life alone, and it's left you anxious, uncertain, and maybe even hopeless. Or perhaps you've drifted from God as Saul did, and you sense it's time to return to Him. Jesus came to meet you in the middle of your mess. He offers guidance when you are lost, grace when you've failed, and peace when you're afraid. If you've never given your life to Him, today is the day to grab hold of His truth and surrender to His leadership. Or, if you've been distant, this is your moment to return to the One who never left you. Here's How: Confess your mess, stop trying to be your own king and lord, and surrender to following the Only King and Lord, Jesus, from this day forward. If you're ready to make that decision—whether for the first time or to come back to Him—let me know by writing “Jesus Is My Lord” in the comments below. I want to celebrate and pray for you as you take this life-changing step. When you reach out for the Lord, He grabs hold of you—and He never lets go. Don't wait; reach out to him today. #ReachOutForHelp, #TrustInGod, #FaithOverFear Ask This: What challenges in your life feel overwhelming, and how can you invite God into those moments for guidance and peace? Have you been trying to face life's battles alone, and what step can you take today to reconnect with God? Do This: Grab a hold of Jesus. Pray This: Lord, I confess the mess I've made trying to do life on my own. Help me surrender to Your guidance and trust in Your unfailing love. Amen. Play This: Never Let Go.

Calvary Chapel McKinney Pastor James Marini continues a Bible study series through 1 Samuel. This week's verse by verse study is 1 Samuel 28:3-25. From Sunday, November 17th, 2024.

This weekend we return to the story of Saul, the first king of Israel. Chapter 28 invites us into the final hours of Saul's life and one final act that will ultimately define Saul's legacy. This is a strange story that includes an overwhelming army, a desperate journey into sorcery, and a theological conundrum about forgiveness, repentance, and rejection. 

Are you cornered by a deception? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. Today, we begin 1 Samuel 28. This chapter is interesting, to say the least. For the most part this paints a final picture of the downward progression of Saul. But before we get to that we see one more glimpse of David and Achish as they prepare to go to war with Israel together! Here are verses 1-2: In those days the Philistines gathered their forces for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, “Understand that you and your men are to go out with me in the army.” David said to Achish, “Very well, you shall know what your servant can do.” And Achish said to David, “Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life.” — 1 Samuel 28:1-2 Here, we learn that David might be too clever and cunning. His deepfake is so convincing to the enemy king that he is convinced David should be chief of his secret service detail for life. David has overplayed his hand and now backed himself into his own corner, as he is compelled to wage war against his own people. This is the problem with deception. The storyline must be developed; otherwise, the initial deception falls apart. This means one deception must be built on another and another. If a construction is too perfect, like David, you risk overplaying your hand and cornering yourself. Later in this chapter, David will find a way out of this situation, but in the meantime, we are left wondering, and so is David. When you are in a compromising position, the best thing to do is to be honest and not practice to deceive. Otherwise, the situation will become more complicated, and the deceptive storyline will become more challenging to maintain. Is it time to stop your deception and come out from hiding? #IntegrityMatters, #TruthOverDeception, #FaithfulLoyalty Ask This: When have you relied on deception to avoid conflict, and what consequences followed? How does choosing honesty, even when risky, shape your character? Do This: Stop being deceptive. Pray This: Lord, help me walk in truth, even when it's hard or costly. Keep me from the traps of deception and make me trustworthy in all things. Amen. Play This: The Struggle.

A @Christadelphians Video: # Summary Suitability: For more advanced Bible students. This video is an in-depth Bible study and may not be suitable for all. The speaker assumes knowledge of the background when he refers to certain Bible passages. Consequently, it could be discouraging, and we do not wish this upon anyone. There are a wide variety of talks more suitable for someone with limited Bible knowledge. This PRESENTATION explores the biblical account of the Witch of Endor from 1 Samuel 28, examining whether Samuel truly appeared or if the encounter was a deception. It discusses the reactions of the witch and Saul, the nature of familiar spirits, and the implications of seeking counsel from the dead. The analysis concludes that the witch likely did not see Samuel but rather used her skills in ventriloquism and suggestion to deceive Saul, ultimately leading to his downfall. # Highlights -
