Discovering Jesus with FirstNaz Zephyrhills

David was on the run from Saul. While he was out, he had a group of men with him. They ran a sort of protection racket to protect the local sheep ranchers. One in particular was a wicked-hearted man named Nabal. When David's men were insulted by Nabal, David was ready to slay every male in his household. The attack was only stopped by the quick and decisive actions of Nabal's wife, Abigail.

After Saul rejected God and found himself rejected as king, God sent Samuel the prophet to anoint a man after his own heart; Samuel went to the house of Jesse and found a couple great looking specimens. But they weren't the ones God had chosen. Instead, He had picked the young boy David who was out with the sheep. God looks at our hearts...

What do YOU have that you wish were erased from your past?

Jesus had all kinds of reasons to say "That's good enough"...But he didn't. He knew why he had come and he was determined to live out that purpose. His life on earth was destined to end up on the cross, and to be placed in a tomb. But he wasn't destined to stay there. Raised up on the third day and later ascended into Heaven, he will one day return. Check out our church website: https://www.zfnfam...

What is Apologetics and why does it matter? At the first section of his trial, Jesus was placed before the Sanhedrin and asked a question that has been asked multiple times: "Jesus, who are you really? Are you REALLY the Son of God?" Apologetics seeks to investigate and defend the faith of the Bible. The Sanhedrin asked the question to which many people want a clear answer. Did Jesus clearly answe...
