The Life of David: David Becomes King

Summary

This sermon begins a study of the Books of Samuel, focusing on the transition from King Saul's reign to David's. It uses maps to illustrate the battle of Mount Gilboa where Saul and the Israelites were defeated by the Philistines. The takeaway is that while Saul initially trusted God, his kingship ultimately failed due to the Philistines' growing dominance.
