In this practical message from 1 Samuel 24 and 26, Pastor Bryan Castillo explores one of the most important questions every Christian must learn to ask:
“Is this really God?”
Using David’s encounters with King Saul, this sermon exposes how Satan often disguises temptation, compromise, and bad decisions as “God’s will.” Learn how to recognize spiritual traps through Scripture, prayer, godly counsel, and the witness of the Holy Spirit.
If you’re facing a major decision about relationships, finances, ministry, career, or direction in life, this message will help you develop biblical discernment before taking your next step.
