Summary

Chapter 15 of Heroes in the Bible: David with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by 1 Samuel 27-29.

A Friend of the Enemy - Desperate, David finds himself befriending the very people God has called him to destroy. Is this where our hero truly falls from grace?

Today's opening prayer is inspired by Hebrews 12:2, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
