1. Captured families, an abandoned servant, and a drunk raid party.
  2. Saul eats and David is unlike anyone else.
  3. Violent raids and raising the dead.
  4. Final words, gospel nuggets, and moving in with your enemies.
  5. Like needing to find a bathroom, the urgency of preaching the presence of God’s kingdom should be felt in the very inner being of every pastor. Not that anything has changed, but God is definitely demonstrating the vulnerability of sinners to the masses. The harvest is now!
  6. A dead heart, a quick wedding, and a vulnerable king.
  7. Unrequested protection, a fool, and a wise woman.
  8. David gives his longest recorded speech instead of killing Saul.
  9. A runaway priest, a mad king, and a final meeting.
  10. David flees and finds refuge in a cave. Four hundred desperate men join up with him. And Saul visits the priest who helped David and the whole town suffers the wrath of the mad king.
  11. . . . but the joke's on Herod. Joseph takes Mary and baby Jesus to refuge in Egypt, and all that happens in Matthew 2 is done in order to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament.
