"PASSING ON THE TORCH - THE END OF AN EPOCH"
I CHRONICLES 28-29
It has been a joy preaching through the life of- David. I have learned
a lot spiritually as I have followed it--learned some things I want to
be, and some things I don't want to be or do. But in and through it
all I've come to understand perhaps one of the greatest men who ever

eventually reach--the end of his days. The pressure of life, the
pressure of his work, the pressure of the years, are now coming down
upon this man called David. He comes to the end of a brilliant career
as a military genius; a sweet singer of the Psalms that he'd written
for Israel, which we have followed through all the ...
