Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 181-14Saul's Jealousy - Fifth Sermon in series: David: The Man of Prayer, by Rev. John Lin. We had missed Keller's sermon @ 9:30AM.
Lin presented no real solution to jealousy after spending most of the time explaining it. His conclusion was to give up oneself and let Jesus be king. I disagreed when he mentioned that Jonathan was willing to give up his inheritance (secular view of kingship which apparently is John Lin's position) to David who "did not deserve it". But David was given this title by God, which certainly does not mean that he was not entitled to or did not deserve it. David was entitled to his kingship by promise of God - Which is the key missing here in Lin's theology - or practical theology, since he might be well versed in textbook theology.

I would note that recently, David Bisgrove's sermons have been expository, which is great. There was one time (about a month ago, I've forgotten the sermon titles) I actually had preferred Bisgrove's to Keller's.
