A Distressed Heart (1 Samuel 21:1 to 22:5)
David experiences rejection but God assures him of his presence, his power and that he is building a people with him as their leader.
Jesus the greater Son of David perfects that faith and trust shown by David and triumphs at every point and is saved and brings salvation to others through suffering.
