King David attempted to show kindness to the Ammonites by sending his servants to console Hanun concerning the death of his father, the king. However, the Ammonites repaid their kindness with evil by humiliating David's servants. As a result, war broke out, and Israel defeated Ammon and their hired help, the Arameans. Just as David's [...]
Galatians 5:1-13 – Waxer Tipton (One Love Ministries)
Rabbi Paul encourages us to "stand firm" in our freedom because our flesh will naturally tend towards legalism. He reminds us that if we want to be under the Law, it is all or nothing. We can't have "salad bar" Law-abiding. Saving faith through love (Jesus alone) is the only thing that mattters. Listen to [...]
2 Samuel 8-9 – Waxer Tipton (One Love Ministries)
King David subdued his enemies, strengthened Israel, and made preparations for the building of the Temple. The result of obedience is victory! Once the Kingdom was established and the borders were secured, King David remembered his covenant with Jonathan and showed loyal love to his son, Mephibosheth. Like Mephibosheth, we can be adopted into the [...]

King David wanted to bless God by building Him a Temple, but instead, God ended up making a covenant with David and blessed him beyond what he could have imagined! Sometimes God says "no" because He wants what's best for us. The Lord doesn't need us to do anything for Him, He just wants us...our [...]

Galatians 4:1-7 – Waxer Tipton (One Love Ministries)
"When the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son..." There were at least four major areas of preparation for the coming of Jesus - religious, cultural, political, & personal. God had a perfect plan of salvation through His Son, Jesus before the foundations of the earth. There were appointed and exact times [...]
2 Samuel 4 – Mario Quezada (One Love Ministries)
Ish-bosheth, King Saul's son, is murdered and his head taken to King David, but instead of being rewarded, the murderers are put to death for their evil. We see a pattern of people hearing, fearing, and then reacting. If we choose to fear man, we will be people of fear living in stress and anxiety, [...]
