Abigail: Wisdom in Action

In this Bible study, Pastor Art Snow explores 1 Samuel 24–25, highlighting David’s encounter with Saul at En Gedi and the introduction of Abigail, a woman of intelligence, beauty, and wisdom. Art shows how Abigail’s diplomacy prevented David from avenging himself against her foolish husband Nabal, protecting her household and honoring God’s anointed. He explains how Abigail’s words carried prophetic weight, pointing to David’s future kingship, and how her wisdom offers a model for believers today in representing Christ with discernment and courage. The lesson also introduces the task of mapping David’s life—his wives and children—to understand biblical history and God’s unfolding plan. Pastor Art closes with an exhortation to pray for wisdom and become spiritual diplomats, unlocking hearts with Spirit-led words and actions as ambassadors of Christ.
