In 2 Samuel, David becomes God's most faithful king, but then rebels, resulting in the slow destruction of his family and kingdom.
In this message, Benjamin Shanks continues our 2-year Christ in Scripture project, in which we aim to see clearly more clearly in the light of 2 Samuel. In comparing Jesus with David—the central figure of 2 Samuel—we see seven things. Jesus comes: 1 — IN THE LINE OF DAVID; 2 — FROM THE TOWN OF DAVID; 3 — WITH THE HEART OF DAVID; 4 — ON THE PATH OF DAVID; 5 — TO THE CITY OF DAVID; 6 — BY THE WORDS OF DAVID; 7 — AS THE SON OF DAVID.
Kings & Characters takes a sweeping look at the story of the Old Testament by surveying the lives of kings like David, Saul and Josiah and characters like the Ark of the Covenant and the Philistines.
