Why is King David one of the most important figures in the Bible? What does the Davidic Covenant reveal about the coming Messiah and the future Kingdom of Christ? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver continues the Old Testament Character Study series with an in-depth look at David—the shepherd, warrior, king, and “man after God’s own heart.” Together with Christopher Katulka and Steve Herzig of the Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, this conversation explores David’s life, leadership, failures, victories, and the everlasting covenant God made with him. Discover how the promises made to David connect directly to Jesus Christ as the “Son of David,” the future Millennial Kingdom, Bible prophecy, and God’s redemptive plan for Israel and the nations.
