In this fifth message of the Kings & Characters series, Benjamin Shanks explores the story of King David's life alongside the theme of THE SECRET PLACE. All of us have a 'front stage' that is visible to other people, and a 'back stage' that is between us and God. The secret place is in the back stage, and without the secret place, life falls apart. The seven stages of David's life: 1. David the Shepherd; 2. David the Musician; 3. David the Champion; 4. David the Refugee; 5. David the King; 6. David the Sinner; 7. David the Repentant.
