A fifteen-week journey through the life of David, the shepherd God made king.
Anointing, grace, and purpose.
God worked through the life of David, shepherd, warrior, king, and worshiper, to shape history and reveal His greater plan for redemption. David's life points us to God's unwavering grace and the ultimate King in his family line, Jesus Christ.
Across fifteen Sundays we followed David through anointing and obscurity, giants and failure, friendship and loss, worship and rest. His story encourages and challenges us to trust God's work in every season of life.
