Caleb Cooke 9/15/2024 Seeing Peace Together - First Baptist Church of Columbia, MO

On Sunday, as part of our Seeking Peace Together series, I will preach a message on the story of Abigail and David in 1 Samuel 25. In this story, we see David want to "fight fire with fire" when Nabal, Abigail's husband, is inhospitable to David and his associates. However, David's fiery response is averted by Abigail's swift thinking as she creatively fosters peacemaking. In risking her life by presenting David with loads of gifts of food, she breaks bread with David and defuses David's dangerous response.
