Well folks, we have just entered Holy Week or Passion in the Church calendar. Christians all over the world, 2.5 billion people, are getting ready for our faith’s biggest holy days — Easter! It’s a weird celebration. It starts with a parade and fanfare, and then it peaks with the arrest and brutal death of Messiah, and then ends with His resurrection from the dead. And as we enter into the celebration today, we follow Jesus and His disciples as they enter the great city of Jerusalem. This visit is a significant event in the gospels, in fact, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all record the event. And every detail of the week was prophesied 750 years earlier.

As we journey through 1 Samuel we will be reviewing 6 major events as they especially as they relate to Samuel the prophet of the forsaken King. Today, we examine the David being pursued by the jealous King Saul. At one time a valued and admired addition to the King's court, now David is a wanted fugitive. Again, all this is because Israel had whined to the Lord, wanting a king like the other nations had. But now that they have such a king, he's a tyrant and he's trying to kill God's newly anointed king out of jealousy.

This survey into 1 Samuel reviews six major events and the persons involved, especially Samuel the prophet of the forsaken King. Today, we look at how Israel often slipped into idolatry and then would forsake the Lord. We also look at how some in the church today, we have the same habit.  Luckily, Samuel tells us how to return to the Lord.
