Sermon Synopsis: The beginning of the Epilogue of Samuel foreshadows the gospel of Jesus Christ; King Saul breaks covenant and so God curses the land until Saul’s sons are hung as an atoning sacrifice to turn away the wrath of God.
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.
