The Story of David

A six-chapter biblical course exploring David's life, character, and theological significance through close reading of Scripture. This course traces David's journey from shepherd to king, examines his moral arc and repentance, explores the eternal covenant God made with him, investigates his role as Israel's psalmist and spiritual model, and discovers how the New Testament fulfills the Messianic promise embedded in his story. Each chapter is anchored in key biblical passages and progressively builds understanding of how David's narrative reveals God's character, His plan of redemption, and the foundations of biblical leadership, worship, and grace.
