In this message on 1 Samuel 18:1-16, we unravel the powerful dynamics between focus and faith, as illustrated through the lives of Saul, Jonathan, and David. Despite being confronted with rivalry and obstacles, their responses reveal profound truths about where our focus should lie.

Saul's downward spiral continues due to his refusal to repent and his self-centered focus, which blinds him to God's will. In contrast, Jonathan's unwavering focus on God allows him to embrace David as God's chosen, fostering an unexpected bond of love and loyalty.

David, guided by his trust in God's plan, exemplifies a life lived fully surrendered to God's will. His steadfast focus on serving God above all else brings blessings and favor even amidst adversity.

Join us as we explore these lessons:

• The dangers of self-focus and the importance of aligning our focus with God's will.

• The transformative power of love, loyalty, and submission to God's sovereignty in our relationships.

• How trusting in God's plan empowers us to navigate challenges with grace and resilience.

Don't miss this message that will equip you to shift our focus from ourselves to God, seeking His kingdom above all else in every aspect of our lives.
