David: A shepherd family had a son named David

David: A shepherd family had a son named DavidCan you imagine trying to tell the whole story of David in the Bible into a short story summary? His story covers 66 chapters in the Bible and next to Jesus, David has more said about him than anyone else. 

I have crafted a story summary of David as a shepherd boy to shepherd king into 7 short stories that capture a hint of David's life. 

This is the first of the series. My prayer is that it will provide a simple mini-narrative of David that causes the listener to go read or listen to 1 & 2 Samuel where David's saga unfolds. I am going to post the series so you can go listen and see if you can figure out why David is known as the man after God's own heart.

In the Bible study, I challenge the learner to observe how David acts like a good shepherd namely, Jesus. Ask, how did David model seeking, caring, protecting, blessing, and building the nation of Israel, the sheep he was commanded to shepherd?
