​Join us again this week as we open the Scriptures and join in song from our homes! Feel free to add comments and/or reflections to the Comments section below! 

​See the side bar for additional links for downloads of today's guide, or follow along below.

For the next three weeks, we'll be led by Weston Pack through video, followed by a few study questions to follow. Follow along below.

1)STUDY TIME IN THE WORD

1 Samuel (Week 1) | Weston Pack

Before we begin, prepare your heart as we sing, "I Will Wait for You (Ps. 130)".

"A Tale of Two Kings"

Start by following along in the message recorded by Weston for this morning (it is actually a “playlist” of two videos, as the first got cut off before it was finished).

After, there are a couple questions you can go through for reflection and application.

Questions

After you have watched the video above, take some time to respond to the following questions:

1.) Psalms 56 was one among many psalms written by David in isolation from his countrymen while Saul pursued his life. Read and discuss this Psalm together. 

What was David's attitude toward his circumstances? His adversary? His God?



2.) Read 1 Samuel 13:1-14. And 1 Samuel 24:1-7 and contrast the difference between how these two leaders handle waiting on God.

3)PRAYER TIME 

(prepared by Derrick Pack)
​
Reflection
As we go to prayer this morning, reflect upon the lesson from today. 

Think about some ways that you are struggling with waiting on the Lord when He is silent. Ask God to reveal them to you. 

Then, offer these up to Him and ask Him to fix your eyes on what He would have you to.

Praise
Take a few moments in prayer to praise God for ways He has shown Himself to you this week: in nature, in the Word, in prayer, or in the world around us. 

Pray that His Name may be honored, “hallowed,” throughout the earth, especially in a time such as this.

Supplication
First, as we are instructed: Pray that His Kingdom might come, His will might be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Second: below are some of our  current Prayer Needs; join together in lifting them up!

• Larry Kepple: continued recovery from injury sustained working at home.
• Luis & Aide Salinas, some of our missionaries in Mexico: right now they have some financial needs, asking for prayer from our body during this season
• Brenden Pike: friend of Kaylay & Jeff Mann, serving with Samaritan’s Purse in NY right now.
• Viriginia Khine’s sister, Kathy Lucatorta: ongoing complications with gallbladder, infection, and kidneys. Praise, as she barely survived gangrene infection, prayer for ongoing recovery.
• Brian Hathaway: spot of cancer on lungs once more. 
• Rita & Arlo Prinns: ongoing prayer for healing, relief of pain, comfort
• Pastors & Missionaries connected through New Life Missions/Oduruwkes: experiencing hardships due to COVID-19 lockdown; also, two young boys were recently killed by police in one of the cities where there is a church, prayer for Christian outreach.
• Bonne & Jim Ruggiero: ongoing prayer for healing, relief of pain, comfort
• Pray that we can fellowship together in person again soon!
