King David is one of the most famous men in the bible, yet as we’ll see in this series, his rise to fame and power is far from straightforward. As we track his rise from the boy who kills a giant to the man ready to rule, there are many detours and unexpected twists in the road. Along the way, we’ll learn much about God’s gauge of leadership and how to trust him in testing circumstances. We’ll see the corrosive effects of jealousy, the importance of friendship and the cost of standing with the godly in the face of persecution. We’ll even meet a witch!
Most of all, we will see in the way God prepares David to lead a reflection of Jesus, God’s ultimate king, and plenty of encouragement to trust him as David trusted in his day.
