CLEAN PAGES
Today & next week we are diving into the “clean pages” of First & Second Samuel where we’ll compare and contrast Israel’s first two kings – Saul & David. The theme of First & Second Samuel is “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble”. Today we will see how this theme plays itself out in the lives of King Saul & David.
