Study 18: 1 Samuel 14: 15-23: Trent Evans

Don't miss the opportunity

This sermon explores 1 Samuel 14 with a focus on faithful obedience to God's leading, contrasting Jonathan's bold, God-centered action with Saul's hesitant and sight-driven leadership. As Jonathan and his young armor bearer step forward in faith—despite overwhelming odds and without waiting for ideal circumstances—God delivers a powerful victory, sending panic through enemy ranks far beyond human visibility. The sermon emphasizes that spiritual victories are initiated through trust and action rooted in God's Word, not through manipulation or convenience. It calls listeners to personal faith that moves beyond emotion or intellect, urging believers to respond when God calls, even when alone, outnumbered, or unsure because God often works in unseen ways through the faithful to bring redemption to many. This episode is an invitation to study Scripture deeply, act courageously, and trust God’s unseen hand.
