A King After God’s Own Heart

Israel had high hopes for its first monarch, King Saul. But Saul turned out to be a failed king. Saul’s failure to be the kind of king God’s people needed points to the true and better king, Jesus Christ.

This sermon was preached on August 4, 2024, at Grace Bible Church in Escondido, California.
