Bible Series Talk - 'David the King: Gangster to Glory' - Pastor Matthew
1-2 Samuel One throne, one crown, myriad rivals. Let the games begin. Though the odds are always in favour of God's chosen, David must extort, maraud, and harry his path across the Promised Land. His way is often our way: faithful in want, corrupt in exultation, yet redeemable. We will follow the story of Israel's move from tribal confederacy to illustrious monarchy through the Bible's legendary statesman, the King of Spades.
