May 19, 2024    John Murphy

The sermon highlights David's journey from being celebrated to fleeing Saul's jealousy, spending a decade in the wilderness where he faces isolation and hardship. This period transforms David, deepening his dependence on God and shifting his concept of refuge from a physical place to a personal relationship with God. The sermon parallels this to personal life struggles, emphasizing that such wilderness experiences, though difficult, are times of profound spiritual growth and preparation for greater purposes, ultimately pointing to the refuge and transformation found in Jesus.
