Shimei completely misjudged David—and let bitterness poison his heart for decades.
When David was at one of the lowest points of his life, Shimei hurled rocks, curses, and false accusations at him.
But when the tables turned, and David was restored, Shimei said, “I have sinned,” not out of repentance, but out of fear.
This message is a needed warning for all of us:
• Bitterness can distort our judgment
• Pain can tempt us to mistreat people
• Fear can produce confessions that lack true repentance
God calls us to something better: genuine repentance rooted in truth, not fear.

Sin doesn’t just break lives—it distorts minds.
King Saul’s story shows how rebellion against God led to confusion, jealousy, and despair. But it also reminds us that true wisdom, peace, and clarity are found only when we walk closely with the Lord.
This message challenges us to examine our hearts and choose the wisdom that comes from obedience rather than the madness that flows from sin.

As our bodies age and weaken, it can be easy to lose heart. But Scripture reminds us that even as our outer selves are wasting away, our inner selves are being renewed day by day.
Learn how we can find strength, perspective, and hope when our physical strength fails — by fixing our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen and eternal.
