Pastor Colin from Open The Bible delivers a sermon on loyalty and maintaining faith in a broken world. He teaches from the story of David and Saul, illustrating how loyalty understands providence, speaks the truth, and shows grace, even under difficult circumstances.
Pastor Colin Smith discusses the story of Saul from the first book of Samuel. Saul creates misery for David, driven by jealousy, and making David live as a fugitive. Despite opportunities to harm Saul, David remains loyal and recognises God’s providence in Saul’s presence. This raises the question of how to deal with difficult people in our lives, as Jesus instructs his disciples to love their enemies.

A man of crime. A ruthless empire. A fellow prisoner. A promise of Paradise.
