In a time where America is celebrating a 47th President and when any previous leaders pass it was probably not someone you ever knew or voted for, it’s hard to imagine the passing of the universally known and loved first ever leader of a nation. This episode of A Bible Break explores the death of the first king of Israel. The next episode will explore aftermath of these events. Get ready for the end of A Bible Break’s first season in 1 Samuel!

David has had his home country reject him, his little cosy little Philistinian town taken, and now his last few joys in this life, friends and family, are gone. Where does he turn when no one is left? And what’s the point of this Job-like story? Tune in for a listen to this episode of A Bible Break.

Ever gotten comfortable? When things are going really well, sometimes that Bible stays uncracked for too long. David gets a little too cosy hiding out with the Philistines and God’s not having it. Join Hannah Benson on this episode of A Bible Break.

The Dead is Not Your Play Thing. Whether or not we go to sleep right after we die until Jesus’s second return or we wait in heaven until the New Earth is made, we are not allowed to seek advice from the dead…like Saul does in this chapter on A Bible Break.

David straps up his sandals and high-tails it to the land of the Philistines because he know Saul won’t follow him there. Meanwhile, he’s keeping busy with his time for…a variety of reasons. Join Hannah Benson for this episode of A Bible Break.

For the second time, David has King Saul fall into his hand and it seems like God is giving his approval for David to remove the fallen annointed…but David doesn’t! This time on A Bible Break, we talk about how coinsidences (or even smooth sailing) doesn’t mean divine approval.

David continues to live in a way that might startle many Sunday School teachers who ever stopped after David hit the mighty Philistine with a stone. But God provides a way for him to avoid future bloodguilt through the gentle correction from an unsuspecting source. Join in on A Bible Break for this episode of 1 Samuel 25.

Would you take the chance to kill your enemy looking to kill you if he appeared unarmed? Tune in for this epic example of honor that breaks all human logic in 1 Samuel Chapter 24. Hannah Benson hosts this episode of A Bible Break.
