Over the next 8 weeks, we will be in a series titled, David. Our teaching team will look at the life of David from 1st and 2nd Samuel as he went from an unlikely hero to the king of Israel. If you want to catch up on this series click here.

A core value that FCCHB is built on is being a spiritual contributor, not a spiritual consumer. Throughout this month, we are highlighting all the different areas where we need volunteers. Visit fcchb.com/volunteer to find a team, or chat with us each Sunday after service near the Welcome Center. There is a team for everyone!

The church always needs volunteers, because it's how we function. Giving your time is a huge resource and a part of living generously. Saying thank you to our current volunteers is in no way equal to their amazing impact, but it is a simple way to acknowledge all that they do. We have amazing volunteers, so if you know someone who currently volunteers, send them a thank you and talk to them about why they serve.

Mark your calendars for our Summer Festival! On June 2nd from 5-7 p.m. we will have games, a dunk tank, mini golf, free tacos, a cake walk, live music, and more. You can find all the info at fcchb.com/summerfestival. An easy way to get plugged into a serve area is by following the link and signing up to volunteer at the festival. We can't wait!

1 Samuel 25:3

…She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband was surly and mean in his dealings—he was a Calebite.

1 Samuel 25:4-6

While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.  So he sent ten young men and said to them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name. Say to him: ‘Long life to you! Good health to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours!’”

1 Samuel 25:10-11

Nabal answered David’s servants, “Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days.  Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?”

1 Samuel 25:13

David said to his men, “Each of you strap on your sword!” So they did, and David strapped his on as well. About four hundred men went up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.

1 Samuel 25:18-19

Abigail acted quickly. She took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred cakes of raisins and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys. Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead; I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

1 Samuel 25:21

David had just said, “It’s been useless—all my watching over this fellow’s property in the wilderness so that nothing of his was missing. He has paid me back evil for good.”

1 Samuel 25:23-24

When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground. She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, and let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say.”

1 Samuel 25:25

Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool, and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent.

1 Samuel 25:28-31

“Please forgive your servant’s presumption. The Lord your God will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because you fight the Lord’s battles, and no wrongdoing will be found in you as long as you live. Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God, but the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling. When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler over Israel, my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the Lord your God has brought my lord success, remember your servant.”

1 Samuel 25:32-33

David said to Abigail, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me. May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day and from avenging myself with my own hands.”

1 Peter 3:9

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
