2 Samuel: The Rule & Reign of King David

LMOT-10

The Gospel of Christ

Give

In Acts 13:22 the word of God describes David as a man after God's own heart.

Welcome you today to our study of 2 Samuel. 2 Samuel is all about the rule and reign of one of God's greatest Kings, King David. Many people look up to David as a great hero of the Bible and we've all heard the great stories of King David. Have your Bible handy as we're going to look to the word of God in our study of 2 Samuel to learn practical lessons that we can apply to everyday Christianity.
As we think today, about 2 Samuel, this is in many ways, an encouraging book as we're going to see some of the great things David does, who is, as we mentioned, described, as a man after God's own heart. We also realize in this book, that like us, David wasn't perfect. He made mistakes, but he came back from that sin to serve God faithfully and that serves as an encouragement to us as well.

Genesis: God's Book of Beginnings

The Gospel of Christ

The Bible says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth," Genesis 1:1. Welcome you to our study of Old Testament Books. In this series of lessons, we're going to be surveying the books of the Old Testament to help us gain a deeper knowledge into God and His will and His truths that we find in the Old Testament. Someone may initially think, "Why study the Old Testament?" Do you remember Romans 15:4? The Bible says, "The things that were written before time were written for our learning that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might find hope." The Old Testament tells us about God and His dealing with man and the early days of man and God's plan throughout the ages, and there's a lot of hope that we find in there from God. That's why we're going to focus on the Old Testament studies. Today, we're thinking about the very first book in the Old Testament. The beginning and the origin of everything is laid out in the book of Genesis. In fact, we might label the book of Genesis as "The Book of Beginnings". The keyword and the whole idea that it starts off with is the beginning and thus God will say in the very opening line, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." The book of Genesis is a book of beginnings. It answers man's most fundamental questions: Where did we come from? How did we get here? What are we doing here? All the questions that so many times people struggle with are very clearly answered in the book of Genesis. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)

Exodus: "The Way Out"

The Gospel of Christ

In Exodus 1:8, we're told "There arose a new king or new Pharaoh over Egypt who did not know Joseph, and as a result, God's people are now going to suffer over that.” Welcome to our study of the Book of Exodus in our Old Testament Book Series. The Book of Exodus in the Old Testament, the second book in the Old Testament accounts, further accounts God's dealing with Israel working toward, ultimately, bringing Christ into the world. The word exodus literally means exodos: the way out or the road out. God's people based on the teaching of Exodus 1:8 are now, because the new Pharaoh arises who doesn't know or recognize Joseph and doesn't remember or care about how God's people saved the Egyptians a new Pharaoh is now going to arise. He's going to bring God's people into bondage and as a result, God is going to raise up a deliverer, and God is going to further separate His people as His own chosen people. That He will ultimately work through for our salvation. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)

Leviticus: Holiness to the Lord

The Gospel of Christ

In the book of Leviticus, God says, "You shall therefore consecrate yourself and be holy for I the Lord your God am holy." Leviticus 11-44. Welcome you to our study of the Old Testament books as we're thinking today about the wonderful book of Leviticus. As we mentioned our study in the Old Testament is designed to encourage us about God about the principles of God and His dealings with man and ultimately point us toward God's way of salvation that started even way back in the Old Testament and is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. We want to encourage you to have your Bible handy. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)
