The Unlikely King

Dec 11, 2022  •  Pastor Dan Spencer

In this series, we are looking at three Bethlehem events that tell the story behind the Christmas story.


This session focuses on the book of 1 Samuel, where we find a major event that happened in Bethlehem. A thousand years before King Jesus was born there, King David was anointed there. And just as nobody in Bethlehem expected the little baby in the manger would be a King, nobody in Bethlehem expected David would be much of anything – certainly not a king! 


Let's look at 1 Samuel 16:1-13.
