Pastor J. S. Melvin recounts the story, recorded in 1 Samuel 28, of Saul's response to God's silence. Unlike Saul's, our response should not be to panic, fill the void with noise, nor respond with our emotions. Instead we should go back to God's Word, and know that in Christ, silence never has the final word.

Elder Jeff Winfrey from Dawson Springs Primitive Baptist Church began our Spring Meeting in Hebrews 13:2. As a born again child of God you have in you what you need to make the choices each moment of each day to make a difference in your world and show your Lord and Savior how much you love him for what he has done for you.

Pastor J. S. Melvin continues his series in 1 Samuel showing us that sometimes our most dagnerous conversations are with ourselves. When our discouragement threatens to destroy us, what ultimately gives us hope is that God's promises depend on God's faithfulness,not our perormance.

Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 26 where David and Abishai enter Saul’s camp in the wilderness of Ziph while the King and his army are in a "deep sleep from the Lord." Just because an opportunity presents itself (Saul being vulnerable) doesn’t mean God has given permission to sin. Abishai sees an open door for revenge, but David sees a test of his trust in God’s timing.

Turn with Pastor J. S. Melvin to 1 Samuel 25 and listen to the story of David when he comes into contact with the angry, wealthy, foolish man, Nabal. What we learn is that David's success at restraint in the previous chapter does not necessarily guarantee that David will once again take the high ground when his pride is wounded.

Turn with Brother Matthew Arnold to Luke 24 and learn powerful truths about the journey with Jesus on the Road to Emmaus.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the first 10 minutes or so of video are missing and there is a skip in the audio about 10 minutes into the sermon. Pastor J. S. Melin takes us to 1 Samuel 23 and shows us through the story of David and his battle with Saul that obedience to God is not a transaction; it is alignment. Always rest in the Lord and know that he has a purpose. Even when you are hunted, you are held.

Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 22 and shows us how God meets us when we are frightened and, like David, are hiding in the Cave of Adullam. God can turn a cave into a classroom and give us faith to move forward.
