Sermon #452
On the day in which we celebrate our independence here in America (this message was recorded July 4, 2021), we reflect on the foundation of Israel as a united kingdom under David after the death of Saul and the conquest of Jerusalem. There are some parallels to our formation as a nation and Israel's. For one thing, the entire nation assented to David's kingship. In the same way, General George Washington was unanimously (69-0) elected our nation's first president. Both nations were established with the understanding that all things come from God. We see the three reasons that David was chosen as king - that he is one of the Israelites' brethren, a descendent of Abraham; that he is a warrior strong in battle; and that God chose him to be king. But it is this last reason that ought to be the first - and only - reason given.
2 Samuel 5:1-5,9-10
