You probably know quite a bit about David. Kids in Sunday School would be happy to tell you that he was the youngest of seven brothers, a shepherd boy who had a knack for the lyre, who would later kill a giant and become king of Israel. Most of us are at least a little familiar with his story, at least the part about a young kid killing a giant when grown men were shaking in their boots.I want to introduce you to David the singer/songwriter. He’s open, honest, attractive, and talented. The songs he writes go on to outlive him for thousands of years. We sing the lyrics he wrote to this day in churches around the world, put them on greeting cards, and quote them at weddings and funerals. His most famous song, Psalm 23 (“The Lord is My Shepherd”) is his biggest single, one of the best-known passages of the entire Bible.
But beyond the hype and the folklore and the felt boards, who was the real David? What was the inspiration behind some of his masterpieces? Furthermore, what can we learn from David about how to worship God?
So what would it be like to go “behind the music” with one of the most notable singer/songwriters to ever walk the earth? You think you know, but you have no idea. Really.
Join us at UNleashed on Thursday night for the first installment in this series of comparative studies as we look at both the psalm and the psalmist.
