David Anointed and Opposed — Part One

Morning Service
Nov 1, 2020

In sharp contrast to the divisive tactics that often dominate politics, as David ascended to his role as God’s chosen king, he did so prayerfully and humbly. Like Jesus, he extended love to his enemies, invited them to follow him, and promised his faithfulness. Nonetheless, opposition soon followed. While placing hope in worldly power will inevitably disappoint us, Alistair Begg assures that when we come to know and trust Jesus, we will find Him to be the true leader for which we long.

Topics: Biblical Figures, Christ as King, Faithfulness of God, Obedience, Sovereignty of God, Trusting God

2 Samuel 2:1-11
