David finally has the throne—but becoming king doesn't mean the waiting, testing, or trouble is over.

Why does David choose Jerusalem as his capital? Why does Uzzah die simply for touching the Ark? What does God mean when He promises to build David a “house”? And how does the shepherd who defeated Goliath become the king who falls so terribly with Bathsheba?

We'll follow David from the Ark entering Jerusalem to the Davidic Covenant, Mephibosheth at the king's table, Nathan's unforgettable confrontation, David's repentance, Absalom's rebellion, and finally Solomon's anointing as the next king. Along the way, we'll uncover some remarkable connections to the Garden of Eden, Passover, the Mount of Olives—and ultimately, Jesus, the Son of David.

Because David's story ends...

but God's promise doesn't.

What does a forgotten shepherd boy have in common with a giant, a jealous king, and a group of distressed and discontented men? And why did David refuse to take the throne when he had more than one opportunity to do it?

In this episode of From Adam to Jesus, we follow David from the sheep fields of Bethlehem to the battlefield with Goliath and into the wilderness as he runs for his life from Saul. Along the way, we’ll uncover some fascinating details—the five smooth stones, the corner of Saul’s robe, David’s friendship with Jonathan, and the heart that set David apart.

And through it all, we’ll see glimpses of the greater Son of David still to come—the King whose victory becomes ours.

Because as always, the details matter... and they’re pointing us to Jesus.

What does a Moabite widow, a field in Bethlehem, and an ancient kinsman-redeemer have to do with Jesus?

In this episode, we follow Ruth and Naomi from loss and emptiness to an unexpected harvest of redemption. Along the way, we'll uncover the meaning of a goel, explore some unusual marriage and redemption customs, and discover why the details of this little four-chapter book matter far more than we might realize.

Because Ruth isn't simply a beautiful love story. It's the story of God quietly preserving a family, preparing a king, and continuing the line that would eventually lead to Jesus.

The details matter. And they all point to Him.
