Today's gospel instalment: 04/14/2024

Sermon Title: 1. Saul attempts to pin David to the wall, 2. The King's Son-in-Law

Text: 1Samuel 18

1. The gospel saga continues through the testimony of Saul and David.

2. David and Jonathan made a covenant with each other. Jonathan loved David and because of that relationship made a Covenant and then stripped himself of his own power and gave it to David.

3. And this looking to the end of the reign of Saul through Jonathan who would have been the heir apparent, being the first born. And there was gospel significance to that exchange which we explored.

4. But Saul continued to feel threatened by the rising popularity of David and so sought to eliminate him.

5. And all the attempts to eliminate David were gospel testimonies of God's eternal purpose in Christ.

6. That Christ Jesus, represented by David, would ultimately get the church, the daughter of the king through His own sacrifice as David would get Michal, Saul's daughter by meeting the condition that he would bring 100 foreskins of the Philistines.

7. And in this we find many wonderful gospel narratives and connections.

8. And they are FREE!
