Pastor Rod teaches through the book of John 14:25-31 with a message titled "The Spirit and Peace".

Saul puts on a facade of holiness by making a rash oath. Saul pridefully and insecurely cursed any man who would eat before the night. Jonathan not knowing of such an outrageous oath - ate the honey the Lord provided the men. An oath given by Saul and not from God, only proved Saul's lack of true leadership in Him.

King Saul showed a lack of character by not having the faith of a righteous man. His son Jonathan knew that for the God of Israel - nothing was impossible. Jonathan & his armor bearer moved in a battle against the Philistines with all of God's might, while Saul sat and watched. Are we trusting God in totality, as Jonathan had? Let's move, not sit. Let's make a commitment to be used by God.

A battle against the Philistines will prove Samuel's obedience and faith in God to be lacking and full of pride. Are we giving God the glory and faith needed for our battles?

This week guest speaker Donald Ruiz takes about the book of Revelation.
