Episode 31 | Gospel Encounters in the Life of King David

Did you know how much David’s life can convict you about sin in your life and your need for a perfect, holy Savior? Have you ever wondered if David’s story has more to offer than a trivialized message about a sling, a stone, and a giant? We’ve shaped many conceptions about King David by imposing our culture on him and our desire to cherry-pick stories from his life so we can identify with him. Today, we will journey together through the major movements of David’s life – and surprisingly, encounter the Gospel at every turn.
