What do you do when life isn’t fair — when you're attacked, misunderstood, or mistreated for doing the right thing? This week, Pastor Brandon looks at David’s remarkable response to unjust treatment in 1 Samuel 18 and 24. Instead of reacting with revenge or self-defense, David chooses restraint, humility, and integrity — showing us what it means to be the kind of person God uses. From Saul’s jealousy to David’s courageous mercy, this message explores the difference between opportunity and permission, and how our response in hard seasons shapes our character. Learn how to speak with honor, resist shortcuts to vindication, and trust God's timing. You can’t always control what’s done to you — but you can control your response.
