About this episode

Pastor Michael Lantz teaches about the consequences of rejecting God's rule and the importance of submitting to His authority through the story of David and its connection to Jesus Christ.

In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz begins “The Kindness of the King…Rejected,” teaching through 2 Samuel 12:26–31.
