In Part 15 of his series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at the story of 3 of David’s Mighty Men getting water for him from behind enemy lines, and we look at themes of how the Gospel transforms us into a different kind of warrior, one who overcomes evil with good, even as Y’Shua did on the Cross.

In Part 14 of his series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at how David processed the death of his first son with Bathsheba, and what this teaches us about how to handle suffering, by looking to the One who suffered infinitely for us!
