1. David laments the death of Saul and Jonathan.
  2. Don’t boast about the death of Saul to David.
  3. The Death of Saul and his sons.
  4. Captured families, an abandoned servant, and a drunk raid party.
  5. Get behind me bourgie theology! Pick up your cross and turn on your radio to Ringside Preachers. Talking about Rush Limbaugh’s legacy, shaking hands like a man and not a fish, and you-know-who: Jesus.
  6. Saul eats and David is unlike anyone else.
  7. Violent raids and raising the dead.
  8. Is it cooler to think there is a grand secret conspiracy based on human trafficking or that human trafficking happens far more often and far more normally than we are comfortable with? And how did we create a culture that produced Marilyn Manson and is simultaneously shocked and offended by him? Oh yeah, we are really all idiots incapable of running our own lives let alone the world!
  9. Final words, gospel nuggets, and moving in with your enemies.
  10. 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!
  11. A dead heart, a quick wedding, and a vulnerable king.
