David vs. Samuel

David Versus... is a six-week sermon series that explores the life of David through his defining confrontations. From the battlefield with Goliath to the palace tension with Saul, from the pain of Absalom’s rebellion to the weight of Samuel’s calling, David’s story is shaped by the people—and pressures—that opposed him. Yet some of David’s greatest struggles were unseen: wrestling with God in obedience and facing himself in moments of failure and repentance. Each week invites us to see how God uses conflict to shape faith, expose the heart, and draw His people toward trust, humility, and dependence on Him.
