Sermon Overview: David cuts down his enemy envy by submitting to the will and timeframe of the Lord. David avoids becoming a murderer, by cutting his own heart and tearing down his own men, putting to death their murderous desires.
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.
