This is a thoughtful examination of one the Old Testament's central human figures. Marti J. Steussy provides a critical approach to the man who receives more attention from the Old Testament's writers than any other human character. This volume explores the ""Hebrew Bible""'s three major portraits of David - found in 1 and 2 ""Samuel"", 1 ""Chronicles"", and ""Psalms"" - and what each implies about the relation between divine and worldly power. Steussy's examination of David in 1 and 2 ""Samuel"" opens with the traditional impression of David as a virtuous hero 'after God's own heart', then invites readers to consider details of plot and phrasing that make problematic - without erasing - the impression of innocence. She proposes that questions surrounding David ultimately probe God's role in Israel's history. The scrutiny of David in 1 ""Chronicles"" shows how this book calls attention to his role as the head of a people rather than to his individual strengths and weaknesses. However, tension still lurks; David plays a key role in ""Chronicles""' argument against Ezra and Nehemiah for an inclusive Israel. Steussy's final character analysis begins with psalms about David, then discusses the ruler as the commonly accepted speaker of the David psalms. Steussy suggests that in the Psalter as a whole, David serves both as a model for individual spiritual development and as a symbol for Israel throughout its history. The complexity of David's role in ""Psalms"", Steussy contends, models the complexity of his characterization in the ""Hebrew Bible"" as a whole. A concluding chapter calls attention to David's scattered appearances in other parts of the Hebrew canon and discusses the cumulative effect of his various portraits.
The study of David is a wonderful study. It reminds us that God can take nobodies and use them for His honor and glory. Even in his early life, nobody saw any potential or believed David would be used greatly. Others saw only a shepherd boy; God saw a king. David was the greatest king that Israel ever had.David enjoyed many wonderful blessings from God throughout his life. The greatest of all blessings is that David became known as a man after God's own heart. This is not something that David or another person said of himself, but this is the testimony of God. What led to this incredible distinction? Join us in this study as we examine this truth. David was not perfect-in fact, he was far from it He failed and failed big, but he kept short accounts with God. He sinned, but he quickly confessed and manifested genuine heart repentance. David has much to teach us about obedience, faith, and worship.
In this fifth novel of the story of David, since his heir is much too young to rule in case of David's death, his army continues to ban him from fighting with his troops. He is already battling depression as a result of the death of his beloved wife, Maacah. In this frame of mind, estranged from all who would bring him confort or counsel, David falls into the sin that still blackens his name to this day. Cut off from their father's dicipline and guidance, David's children run wild. Growing further from family ties; resentment, jealousy, anger and lust for power lead to rape and murder.
In this final book in the David series, David has been king for thirty years. All Israel's enemies have been subdued. However, a new generation has arisen who do not remember how it was before David began ruling. They resent the taxes used to pay the army, and the fact the King is too busy to personally hear all their petty legal cases. They are ready for a change in government. When David's oldest son begins promising them everything they want if they will support him in overthrowing the King, David faces the most dangerous situation of his career. His sons, one after another, almost destroy the kingdom in their greed for the crown.
Just like pouring out precious ointment, our dear brother Stephen Kaung ministered these five messages on being a spiritual leader as shown through the life of David, the man after God's own heart. He uses David's experiences to show four essential qualities necessary for spiritual leaders in the church-those who are fit for kingship and capable of leading and helping others.Spiritual leadership is of vital importance in the church today. As our brother shares: What the church lacks today is a group of individuals fit to be spiritual leaders. Today, many are saved, but the church is scattered, weak, and unable to fulfill God's will due to the lack of spiritual leadership. Therefore, the one great need is to have spiritual leaders who have a personal, spiritual walk with the Lord, and are ready to be used by the Lord to fulfill His heart's desire to prepare His bride ready for His soon return.The heart-felt burden of our dear brother was for God's church to be a healthy church. May the Lord be pleased to use this book to raise up spiritual leaders to carry out His will in His church in these last days. Even so, come Lord Jesus Just like pouring out precious ointment, our dear brother Stephen Kaung ministered these five messages on being a spiritual leader as shown through the life of David, the man after God's own heart.

Most of us have several key influential people in our lives as we are growing up. The impact of their opinion and ideas cannot be minimized as they shape us as we mature. David was no exception. Several key players in David's ministry years, or the years that David served as King affected and influenced David both on and off the battlefield but none were as influential as Joab, David's General and Absalom, David's son.Because of David's character - or lack of it - these individuals and the spirits that they allowed to control and manipulate them destroyed David's most effective ministry years as a leader and as a father.Both Joab and Absalom held positions of great influence with David. He gave them an audience and listened to their thoughts and opinions. Their opinions mattered to David and their close relationships cloaked a devastating spirit of hidden agendas, malicious intentions, hatreds, jealousies and murderous sentiments.In what should have been trusting relationships that would strengthen and encourage David, we find destruction disguised behind the loving, caring and good. This is David's Ministry years (Part 1) ChurchBuster episode.
Growing up is not always an easy thing to do, especially if we do not have godly influences surrounding us. It is all too easy to succumb to the world around us and to be conformed in its image. David represents an adolescent king, even though he was 30 when he took the throne and reigned for 40 years. He never wanted to grow up. He never let God perfect and mature his character as a man and he never accepted responsibility for his actions or the actions of those under his leadership. The Word of God declares that "many are called, but few are chosen." How many times do we see those who have been "called but not yet installed" in to ministry office? How long will we wait knowing that we have been "anointed but not yet appointed"? In those times of waiting, while the Lord is at work behind the scenes preparing us for what He has destined us to be and to do, it can be hard to be patient and remain faithful because we do not see what the Lord is doing and we do not understand His ways. The walk of faith is an arduous one and testing severely the limits of our endurance and resolve. It is rarely easy nor is it often comfortable. But trusting in the One who is the Author and Finisher of our faith bring comfort and peace that passes all understanding. This is David's Early Years ... Anointed but not Appointed.
David had refused to accept responsibility for the actions of his men. His refusal to hold Joab accountable for deceiving David and going around the king's authority and killing Abner in alleged retribution for the death of Joab's brother provoked unforeseen consequences. While it seems that life went on and there were no extending consequences to David's lack of accountability, there were. On the sidelines, David's son, Absalom watched his father rule without authority and do nothing to right wrongs inside the kingdom as well as inside of David's own house and family. David's decisions and the way he refused to be responsible and responsive as King, led Absalom to rebel. David's lack of responsibility allowed a spirit of sedition to come upon Absalom that would lead not only to Absalom's death but the destruction of David's ministryIt would be this visual of injustices that would lead Absalom to challenge David's throne. This is David the Ministry Years (Part 2) ChurchBuster episode.
David's life was really separated into three time periods; the Early Years, the Wilderness Years and the Ministry Years. Many of us can relate to the patterns and the principles that God is using here in David's life. It is important to recognize the different characteristics of the spirits that rise up against the work of God. If we can discover what they are, what they do and how they manifest then we can apply kingdom principles and ultimately know how to address and deal with those kinds of spirits principles to be victorious in the work of the Kingdom of God. We can then deal with the men and women that are manipulated by those spirits and help them. This is David's Wilderness Years: Times of Preparation before the Palace episode.
