The Suffering King

This Sunday we continue with the story of the kings of Israel. The story takes a surprising turn when just after David defeats Goliath and experiences great success in Israel, he is driven into the wilderness by Saul’s jealousy. We also look at what this says to us about our own Christian experience. * This sermon was co-written with Rev.
