S and D Bible Studies

This is a recording of the Sunday School Lesson for March 10, 2024 AD. Brother Keith Hayworth recorded it for Hickory Valley Baptist Church.

After King Saul's death, David was recognized as King of Judah. The other tribes of Israel followed Ishbosheth, Saul's surviving son. Abner, Saul's General, made this happen. This message is about how the war between Israel and Judah began, was fought, and how it ended.

In part 11 of our study of David, we learn about the death of King Saul and three of his sons. We also see the heroism of the men of Jabesh Gilead. Finally, we see David recognized as king of Judah.

David found himself in many worrisome circumstances when he was pursued by King Saul. Yet, eventually, Saul's days came to an end. In this message, we conclude 1 Samuel with the dramatic end of Saul's reign.

Everyone has a breaking point. Frustration can lead us to making rash decisions. In this story of David (Part 9), we learn about David and Abigail. Abigail's quick thinking prevented David from committing a horrible crime.

When David was given an opportunity to rid himself of King Saul, he chose rather to save his life. David was patient. He didn't want to take personal vengeance. Instead, he wanted the LORD to take up his cause. Christians today should avoid allowing frustration with corrupt governments to tempt them into rebellion. God will take care of such things in His timing.

Paul tells us the right kind of spiritual clothing to wear. These are not physical clothes. Instead, we should put on the right actions and behavior.

This is a combined message of our Sunday School and worship services. Brother Keith describes how God wants us to respect life.

David found help when he escaped from King Saul. Jesus used this episode to define our priorities of human life over lesser rules.

David was anointed by Samuel to be king. However, Saul held on to the throne of Israel. Furthermore, Saul pursued David as if he was an outlaw. This message is about the need to find God's guidance during threatening times. Also, it is a message about not assuming that today's wins guarantee tomorrow's successes.

Sadness, worry, and defeat haunt many people. In Psalm 64, we read how the LORD wants us to be joyful, faithful, and victorious. Make this a theme for the new year.

The story of the wise men is found in Matthew Chapter 2. In this story, God communicates with the wisemen through a star, the written word, and in a dream. God also communicated with Mary and Joseph by dream. The point is that all of these people obeyed the Heavenly message. This year, listen to God. Then obey what He says. By obeying Him, we shall be added to the extended Christmas Story written...

This is part 5 of David's life taken from 1 Samuel 19. This message was recorded December 10, 2023 A.D. at Hickory Valley Baptist Church.

This message contains part 4 of our study of the Life of David. It takes part after the slaying of Goliath. It also introduces King Saul's jealousy towards David. Throughout this time, David made wise choices.

This is part 3 of David's story. It is probably the most famous episode of David's life. His defeat of Goliath ripples through the ages as an example of God's victory over evil. This message was preached November 26, 2023, AD at Hickory Valley Baptist Church.

In this message, we see David's inclusion into the court of King Saul as a musician. This introduction to the court gives David valuable experience that will aid him later as king.

This is the beginning of a series on the life of David.

This is a recording of the Revival service held on November 6, 2023 A.D. Bro. Toby Stone from Rossville Baptist Church is the speaker.

Filters are a vital part of our lives. Whether used to clean air or water or even the oil in our engines, filters are designed to remove harmful things. In this message, we learn how to filter our lives God's way.

The LORD keeps His word to Gideon in Judges Chapter 7 by using him to win a great victory for Him. This message is the second part of a 2-part series on Gideon.

When the people of Israel failed the LORD, He often sent their enemies to them to afflict them. The resulting hardships and sufferings led them to call out to God for help. In this message, we look at how the LORD used Gideon to save his people from their enemy .

Paul tells us how we can mature in Christ. Pettiness is a common fault of adults. Through these verses, we learn how to grow up

The Jews returned to Jerusalem from exile in Nehemiah's day. What they found was discouraging. However, God helped them in their efforts to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. In Nehemiah 8, they celebrated the LORD'S provision.

Jesus tells us how to stay connected to Him through obedience. Joy requires us to draw from God a continuous and overflowing Joy through abiding in Him.

Paul chose to be a servant of all men, that he might save as many as he could. With fewer people who profess Christ today, there is an opportunity for us to witness to others.
