In this message, we explore the life of David and how his journey as Israel's king foreshadows the ultimate kingship of Jesus Christ. By looking deeper into the scripture, we uncover how God works through shadows in the Old Testament to reveal the spiritual realities of His kingdom in the New Testament. David’s life teaches us about patience, trust, and the divine nature of God’s promises.

MAIN POINTS

1. David as a Shadow of Jesus

2. God's Kingdom and Covenant

3. Jerusalem and Zion

Through David’s journey, we see a clear image of how God patiently works to bring us into His kingdom, not by force, but by love and grace. Just as David made a covenant with the people, Jesus has made a covenant with us, offering salvation and eternal life. Will you freely surrender and make Jesus your King today?

In 2 Samuel 4:1-12, Rechab and Baanah misinterpret God's promise and take matters into their own hands by killing Ish-bosheth. They present his head to David, expecting a reward, but David condemns their actions, emphasizing that God's will is fulfilled through righteousness, not human schemes.

MAIN POINTS

1. Misunderstanding God's Promise
   Rechab and Baanah acted on their own understanding of God’s will, assuming their actions would help fulfill God’s promise to David.

2. David's Response
   David rejects their violent actions, asserting that God's kingdom is established by His hand, not through manipulation or violence.

3. Pursuing Righteousness
   The passage teaches that true righteousness comes from God and calls us to live in a way that reflects His character, not our own desires.

This story is a powerful reminder that we cannot manipulate God's will for personal gain. True righteousness is not about achieving our own goals but about walking in alignment with God's character and will.

In this message, we explore the story of Joab, David's general, and how his actions reveal deeper truths about human nature and our relationship with God. Like Joab, we often think our ways are better than God's, but this account challenges us to submit to His will, recognizing that His perspective is far greater than ours.

Main Point: God's grace is bigger than our sin.

In this message, we explore how David strengthened himself in the Lord by focusing on God's past faithfulness and His promises. Unlike Saul, David sought God's guidance and acted on His word, demonstrating trust and obedience despite overwhelming circumstances. This passage also reflects the New Testament doctrine of the church body, emphasizing that every role is vital and that God's grace sustains us all. We are reminded to strengthen ourselves daily in the Lord, relying on His word to guide and empower us.

MAIN POINTS

1. David focused on God's past deeds and promises for strength.

2. David sought God's guidance and acted accordingly, unlike Saul.

3. The passage illustrates the importance of every role within the church body.
