Rev. Kevin Martin, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 1 Samuel 25.

“Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from working salvation with my own hand!” Even David needs saving in chapter 25, and it’s Abigail who saves him from himself. This woman “with whom the Father is well pleased” is both faithful to her house and hospitable to David, reminding him that he stands for something bigger than himself: the Christ’s fivefold destruction of Israel’s enemies and the sevenfold Sabbath of God. The Lord Jesus also fed those who came to Him in five and two, with bread and wine. In Him, human beings all flawed alike are His bride “Abigail,” the church of His glorious name.
