The Making of a King

Mike Patz Oct 27, 2025

We humans consistently think we’re more ready than we are. Do you believe you have what it takes to defeat your opponent? Our friends may tell us we are ready, but the only one who can tell us truthfully is God.

Pastor Mike Patz continues our series, The Gospel According to David, with a look at 1 Samuel 23, the making of a king. This chapter is a pivotal time in the life of David and Israel. In the long time of waiting between David’s anointing and his actual becoming the king was a long time.

The hidden season of waiting with God is never wasted, doing what nothing else can do. God forms His people in caves of obscurity before He puts crowns on their heads. Don’t curse the cave, don’t fret the delay. Do Psalm 27:4! Gaze until your heart burns, inquire until your path is clear. God dreams of leaders who will host His presence.
