Overcoming Evil (part 2)

aaron — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 15:40:53 +0000

As followers of Jesus we will encounter suffering and evil. The question is, how does God want us to respond to such attacks? And how are we to overcome the presence of evil in the world? Paul carefully shows us the way forward, and it is not through the use of greater evil, but through good and with the knowledge that vengeance belongs to God alone

In our study of 1 Samuel we come to Saul’s final attempt to kill David and we see how God is shaping David to respond in a way that is honouring to the Lord. Though David doesn’t know the future, we see him continuing to trust in the Lord and to show mercy even when it is in his power to kill his enemy.

In this sermon we look at 1 Samuel 24 where David has an opportunity to avenge himself against Saul, who has been hunting him, and yet David entrusts himself to the Judge of all the earth and extends mercy to undeserving Saul. We see how seeing God as judge over all should effect the way that we live out our Christian faith.

In this sermon we first consider the unfolding story in 1 Samuel 21 where David flees for his life, and then we move over to Psalm 34 which was written after these events in David’s life and we consider his response to all that had happened.
