Welcome to Youngsville Free Methodist Church

A short reading today, but an enormous concept…

I generally remember David as a man hiding from Saul, gathering a few mercenaries around him…waiting for the day when God will replace Saul.   But as you read this passage you discover that’s not exactly accurate.

Yesterday’s reading was fairly dry, and I didn’t “get it” at the time.   But as I read this, it’s making more sense.

There are a few clues as to when this passage was written, just after the long confusing lists of names.   But when you understand it, the passage becomes a little easier to read.

One of life’s great mysteries: “Why do we always want what’s bad for us more than we want what’s good for us?”

The first thing that you discover about today’s reading is that there are gaps in the genealogy.   I wonder if that’s because they wanted to “forget” they were related to some of their ancestors….
