Christmas with King David
Loving God
December 25, 2022 • Pastor Seth Amerine
This Sunday is Christmas Day! We will be bringing this current series to a close with a look at 2 Samuel 24:17-25. Read the text and consider how David expressed love for God particularly in verse 24. We hope you will join us for Christmas Eve at 4 and Christmas service at 10:30!
Betraying God
December 18, 2022 • Pastor Seth Amerine
So far we have considered how a man after God's own heart talks to God, honors God, worships God, and represents God. This week we will see the man after God's own heart fail God. We will be looking at 2 Samuel 11-12 and doing an essential study on sin. Read the text - what led up to David's failure? What were the consequences? How did he get back to God?
Representing God
December 11, 2022 • Pastor Seth Amerine
This week we will be studying 2 Samuel 9 and the kindness King David showed to King Saul's grandson Mephibosheth (say that 5 times fast). When you read the text, notice how eager David is to show this kindness - he is taking the initiative. Why is that? (give special attention to v. 1 and 3) Also, what risk is David taking in doing this? How are his actions towards an enemy's descendants different or surprising in that world at that time?
Worshiping God
December 4, 2022 • Pastor Seth Amerine
This week we continue our study in 2 Samuel 6:12-23 with a look at worship. Read the text and list all the ways David and the Israelites worshiped. Why were they worshiping with such passion and joy? Why should we? What was Michal's problem? Do you relate to her? Try to understand David's response.
Honoring God
November 27, 2022 • Pastor Seth Amerine
This week we examine one of King David's first acts as the new King of Israel. Read 2 Samuel 6:1-15. What was David saying by making this the first thing he did? What mistakes were made? How does this story parallel with how you and I should be living today?
Inquiring of the Lord
November 20, 2022 • Pastor Seth Amerine
This week we begin a new series studying 2 Samuel. We will be examining the life of King David. His road to the throne was a difficult one. King Saul, driven by murderous jealousy, made David into a fugitive - pursuing him, trying to take his life for years. Yet, in all the time, David remained faithful to the Lord due in no small part to a habit he picked up in the wilderness. Take a look at 1 Samuel 23:3; 30:8; 2 Samuel 2:1; 5:19, 23; 21:3. What do all of these have in common? What does this teach us about our relationship with God today?
