David Went Down Into The Hold

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Jul 30, 2018

David,-The Shepherd Boy Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 7, 2020

David was perhaps Israel's greatest king. He wasn't born into a royal family, and didn't meet the guidelines some might have expected of a king, but God chose him. And that was enough.

Not every person will have a “shepherd-to-scepter” life or encounter, such as what happened to David. Every believer in ...read more
