Sermon Synopsis: There is a seducing, murdering, wife-stealing snake in David’s Garden. And it’s David, who pursues his quarry until he impales himself on the spear of God’s judgment, just like his nephew Asahel.
The Lord promised to raise up a new king from the stump of Jesse. How did Jesse's tree become a stump? The books of Samuel tell the story of David's rise to King and his successes and failures on the throne. The life of David is a type of the life of Christ that is full of warnings and encouragement for those who follow Christ.
