David: Shepherd Boy, Musician, King, Beloved, Parent and Man of God

We constantly use David’s psalms as we pray, but what do we know about the man who wrote them? Samuel and Chronicles describe many fascinating aspects of David’s character and development at a time when kingship was new and and no one knew how to be a successful king. We will read the stories, and some psalms that shed light on his life and thoughts.
