In this sermon, pastor Matt once again shows us that God has chosen for himself a king to shepherd his people. As David enters Saul’s service, he begins to prove that he is the man of God’s choosing, the son with the Spirit of Yahweh, the king-in-waiting who will one day wear the crown. But we’ll also see that this story, like all sacred Scripture, points us to the gospel of Jesus Christ. And just as he was anointed “king-in-waiting” at the outset of his ministry, so all those who have received his Spirit through faith now wait patiently for the day when we will reign with him.
