We're exploring the story of David—a shepherd boy turned monarch whose triumphs and tribulations resonate through history. Despite his stature as Israel's most lauded king, David understood that his true greatness was rooted in his relationship with Jesus Christ. As we trace his lineage forward, we see a lineage destined to bring forth Jesus Himself. We're journeying together into 1 Samuel 17, where young David's famous encounter with Goliath offers more than just a tale of courage; it's a precursor to the coming Messiah whom David prefigured—a king of peace, shepherd of His people, and a beacon for all nations.
In this Sermon we're diving into the heart of the Christmas story through the lens of a revered biblical hero – King David.. Although David achieved monumental victories, like his defeat of Goliath, he knew the people needed a saviour greater than himself, a righteous ruler to guide them towards true peace. Pastor Colin will share with us from 1 Samuel 17, where the tale of David and Goliath unfolds. It's a story many are familiar with, but we're looking beyond the battle lines to see the profound symbolism – both armies hinging their fates on one man's combat. David represents a type of Christ, who would ultimately enter humanity's fray, confront the colossal giants of sin, death, and hell, and claim victory on our behalf. As you listen, let the realisation settle in that Jesus, the greater Son of David, enters our struggles, fights our battles, and secures our triumphs. In His kingdom, we’re not just subjects; we're co-heirs to the promises made to David long ago.
