For the second Sunday of Advent we look at David’s promised seed in the Davidic Covenant.

Abraham receives a promise from God. He explains, hustles, bargains, and finally trusts. We do the same thing with the promises of God.

David has learned faithfulness, but he is not perfectly faithful.

Once again, David spares Saul, picturing the work of Christ in bringing deliverance to his people, and even when they sin against him.

Abigail meets David to keep him from killing her foolish husband, Nabal.

David learns what it is to be in God’s hands and call on him for help.

Five psalms written in response to this time in David’s life help us understand this was a season of learning to trust God and find refuge in him for David.

Following and not following the true King costs one everything.

Jonathan and Saul respond differently to David’s victory.

The true king conquers the enemy of the people.
