Study 23: 1 Samuel 16: 14-23: Trent Evans

Problems and solutions

This sermon on 1 Samuel 16 highlights the contrast between Saul and David, showing how both received the same Spirit and calling, yet Saul’s disobedience led to the Spirit’s departure and God’s discipline. The troubling spirit that afflicted Saul was ultimately used by God to bring David into the king’s court, setting the stage for God’s greater purposes. The message underscores God’s sovereignty over all things, even discipline, and calls believers to recognize that true relief and restoration come only through obedience to the Spirit and turning their eyes back to the Lord as the lasting solution.
