The Life of David - Part 1, James Clarke

In this opening episode of our series on David, we explore the early life of Israel’s future king and discover why God chose an unlikely shepherd boy from Bethlehem. Against the backdrop of Israel’s spiritual decline and the failure of King Saul, David stands out not because of outward strength or status, but because of his heart. We look at David’s faithfulness in the small things, his trust in God, and his understanding of the Lord as his true Shepherd. Ultimately, David’s story points us forward to Jesus, the perfect Shepherd-King who leads, protects, and lays down his life for his people.
