Description

What do you do when someone hurts you? When you’ve been mistreated, attacked, or falsely accused, the natural pull is to get even. In 1 Samuel 24, David has Saul trapped in a cave with the perfect chance to take revenge. Instead, he chooses mercy.

In this message, Pastor Phil unpacks three marks of godly character when we’re wronged:

1️⃣ Resist the urge to retaliate
2️⃣ Show honor where it can be shown
3️⃣ Leave justice in God’s hands

This story points us beyond David to Jesus—the true King—who when falsely accused and nailed to a cross, entrusted justice to His Father. The empty tomb proves that mercy triumphs and justice belongs to God.

If you’ve been carrying hurt, bitterness, or the need to get even, this message will show you how Jesus offers a better way.
