This week we will read the entirety of [esvignore]2 Samuel 11[/esvignore]. Our lesson will focus on compounding of sin and the public nature of sexual immorality.

Our sermon is entitled David’s Passionate Fall, and it is a sobering one. We will be in [esvignore]2 Samuel 11:1-5.[/esvignore]  We will look frankly at the topic of lust and adultery.

Our sermon this week is taken from [esvignore]2 Samuel 9[/esvignore]. We will learn of The Kindness of the King. Since the Old Testament is ultimately about Jesus, we often talk of Christ in the Old Testament shadows. Today’s lesson is, essentially, a Christ-centered gospel proclamation.

His response is prayer and praise.…

In this message we look at [esvignore]2 Samuel 7:1-17[/esvignore]. This is typically considered the “Davidic Covenant” and is a very important passage in the history of God’s redemption of sinners.

We continue where we left off and study [esvignore]2 Samuel 6:12-23[/esvignore]. Here we discover that David’s second attempt to bring back the Ark of God to Jerusalem is successful, and there is much reason to rejoice. But not everyone is happy.
