Trouble In The King's Household Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 3, 2004

As great a king as David was, he was still a human king with all the flaws of any human being. It would take the coming of Jesus before we had a king who truly reflected God’s heart in all he did; whose leadership would fully reflect God’s character.
