David’s Story, Part 2

1 Samuel 17

In today’s journey through the Scriptures, we’re exploring the Christmas story through the perspective of King David, Israel’s greatest king. Despite his accomplishments, even David realised his need for a greater king, pointing towards the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Listen as we delve into how the promise of a Saviour, a descendant of David, unfolds. Discover the significance of David’s lineage, from the humble shepherd of Bethlehem to Jesus, who embodies both man and divine.

Pastor Colin takes us through David’s iconic combat with Goliath, reflecting the greater battle that Jesus would fight on behalf of all of us. It’s a tale of courage, faith, and the triumph of the ultimate King.
