Ep. 134: Beware of Hot-Tempered People

In Podcast Episode 134, “Beware of Hot-Tempered People,” Kim discusses the Godly wisdom each of us needs as we navigate relationships. Prince Jonathan thought he knew his father, King Saul, much better than he really did, and nearly lost his friend and his own life due to his wrong conclusions. May each of us be wiser as we learn from Jonathan’s mistake.

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel  20:1-34 with focal verses 2, 33:

 

2 “That’s not true!” Jonathan protested. “You’re not going to die. He always tells me everything he’s going to do, even the little things. I know my father wouldn’t hide something like this from me. It just isn’t so!”

 

33 Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan, intending to kill him. So at last Jonathan realized that his father was really determined to kill David.

Additional Verses:

 

24 Don’t befriend angry people

    or associate with hot-tempered people,

25 or you will learn to be like them

    and endanger your soul. (Proverbs 22:24-25)

 

5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. (James 1:5)

Weekly Assignment Feature:
