Father Forgive Them Series

Contributed by Louis Mare on Apr 10, 2023

David In Saul’s Camp

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 8, 2022

We see another magical moment when David walks with God and ventures into the impossible. God gave David Saul’s spear-scepter and the king's source of anointing. This was a prevision of what David was later to gain as King.
