“I was young, but now I'm a little bit older... you'll never see the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.”
A sermon using David's experience under Saul (and a Michael Jordan/Chicago Bulls analogy) to teach that believers can 'succeed while bleeding'—thrive in God-given purpose despite opposition—by relying on the Spirit, maintaining a faithful 'yes' posture of service, and drawing strength from present and past successes. It closes with a gospel invitation and practical calls to prayer, Scripture, and humble service.
“"i've never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging bread."”
Pastor Leslie teaches that God often meets us in ordinary life through people and circumstances — especially through community and hospitality — and warns that comparison, living in the past, hurry, and self-sufficiency can make us miss God. Using the Shunammite woman's encounter with the prophet as the central example, she explains that God names and meets deep longings (sometimes miraculously and despite our unbelief) and calls listeners to name their needs, return to community, and trust God's timing.
“I was once young and now I'm old; never have I seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging bread.”
A Psalm 55–centered message taught from Psalm 55 about finding God-given peace amid pain, betrayal, and overwhelm. The preacher urges honest lament to God, warns against mistaking escape for peace, and shows that true, sustaining peace comes from God even when circumstances don't change. The service included baptisms, communion, an invitation to salvation, and church announcements.
“I have been young and now I'm old, and I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”
