In our expository journey through 1st Samuel, Anand Darla presents an overview of the book thus far and then preaches on the success and failures of King David in chapter 30. Anand offers lessons on the importance of God's word, heart over outward appearance, obedience over sacrifice, and a trajectory toward Christ.

1 Samuel 30 - Good Beginning and Bad Ending

Deeply problematic, ugly, satanic texts about biblical jihad (passages from the Hebrew bible that no serious theologian would ever cite without significant, careful assessment of the context), are suddenly surfacing among the ranks of Israeli politics to seemingly justify what appears to be a war campaign hell bent on elimination. On this episode, Pastor Andrew reads his letter to his representatives alerting them to this danger,  breaks down these (and other) passages, their origins, why they are problematic, and how their prima facie invocation is a perilous brand of Religio-INsanity.

(3-9-25) 1 Samuel 15 -- Part 2

Are you struggling with compromise in your faith journey? In this powerful sermon from the "Go Teach All Nations" podcast, Pastor Sam Walters explores the Book of Esther to reveal why Christians drift in their spiritual walk and how to overcome the compromises that weaken our witness.

What You'll Discover:
• Why hiding your Christian identity at work or school damages your spiritual growth
• The dangerous pattern of "silent Christianity" and code-switching your faith
• How past compromises can feel like concrete keeping you trapped
• Three practical steps to move from drifting to driven in your relationship with God
• The connection between Esther's story and last-day events for Seventh-day Adventists

Key Topics Covered:
- Christian identity in the workplace
- Sabbath keeping under pressure
- Tithing faithfulness during financial struggles
- The power of prayer, community, and decisive choice
- Breaking free from spiritual compromise
- Biblical principles for authentic Christian living

Sam Walters shares personal testimonies about standing firm on Sabbath observance in his career and challenges listeners to embrace their identity in Christ without compromise. Using the historical context of Esther, Mordecai, and Haman, he draws parallels to modern-day pressures Christians face in secular environments.

This message is perfect for young adults, professionals, students, and anyone feeling pressure to compromise their Christian values. Whether you're struggling with workplace expectations, academic pressures, or social acceptance, this sermon provides biblical guidance for living authentically as a follower of Christ.
