1. COMMUNION WHAT A FAMILY!

2. 1 SAMUEL 22:1-2  David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there.  All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their commander.

3. WHAT A FAMILY !  Not only that, but all who were down on their luck came around—losers and vagrants and misfits of all sorts. David became their leader. There were about four hundred in all.

4. Three Catagories:  Distress (in trouble)  In debt  Discontented

5. HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE YOU DON’T FIT IN ?

6. THE DISENFRANCHISED  The Old French word enfranchir means “to make free,” and when you add the negative prefix dis-, disenfranchised means “made unfree.”

7. Acts 17:26-27  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

8. Acts 17:26-27  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

9.  23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:  24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.  25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood

10. WE ARE FAMILY NOW  But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.  EPHESIANS 2:13
