Kings and Queens live a life we can only dream about. They are born into privilege and wealth. They live in palaces and castles. They have influence and power. There’s no way the crown could ever understand the concerns of the crowd. David’s story is different. It doesn’t start in a castle; it starts in the countryside. As the son of a shepherd, David’s early life was marked more by poverty than it was by privilege. He was so overlooked, in fact, that his father forgot all about him when the prophet Samuel came into town to choose Israel’s next king.

David’s ascension from shepherd to sovereign reminds us that it’s not about where we start. It’s not about where we come from or what we have. When we stand before the Lord, it’s all about what’s on the inside. We don’t need to come from a royal bloodline or a powerful pedigree. We need only come with a willing heart.

Join us for "The Once and Future King" - a six-week study on the life of King David. Over the course of this study, we'll talk about this king "after God's own heart" and how his life points us towards the One King who will never fail. The study guide is available as an ebook on our channel.
