You Think They’re the Problem… God Says Look Within

It’s easy to see what everyone else needs to change. But are we willing to ask God to search our own hearts?

In this verse-by-verse teaching through 1 Samuel 22, Pastor Jeffrey Anderson explores the contrast between Saul’s growing bitterness and David’s willingness to take responsibility. While Saul blames those around him, David acknowledges his own choices and responds with humility.

From the cave of Adullam to the tragedy at Nob, we see how God works through broken people—and how unchecked jealousy, anger, and self-pity can bring devastating consequences.

This message challenges us to examine our hearts, deal with sin before it grows, and turn regret into faithful action.

Before asking God to fix someone else, begin with this prayer: “Search me, O God, and know my heart.” — Psalm 139:23
