In this video study, Professor Justin Jackson leads us through First and Second Samuel to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning and beauty of David's story that is fundamental to the Christian Faith.
The study explores the lives of Israel's first two kings--Saul and David-- to discover the Bible's profound lessons about fatherhood, the nature of sin, and the consequences of sin on both a family and a nation. While David suffers great tragedies due to his own transgressions, he models a path to redemption through repentance.
The Israelites are God's chosen people, but they must undergo challenges to prepare them to be the nation from which the Messiah will come. The Story of David illustrates how Israel's history is touched by the divine, but still human.
