2 Samuel 11

November 10, 2019 • Pastor Jim Thomas • 2 Samuel 11

There are two names hardly used anymore but most often remembered for their association with King David: Goliath and Bathsheba. David faced the battle with the giant as a young and inexperienced youth but with God’s help, David became victorious. It was when he was older and should have been wiser, David faced his battle with temptation over Bathsheba. But David failed terribly and the collateral damage was horrific. What were the signs that David should have seen but completely missed? What about all the lives David ruined? What was God’s response to David’s selfish actions? What were God’s purposes in all of this mayhem? Join Pastor Jim for this look at a well-known story that holds both timeless truths and ultimate hope for all of us.

2 Samuel 19:9-43

February 23, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • 2 Samuel 19:9–43

This passage describes the return to Jerusalem of King David as God’s chosen covenant king over Israel. But the transition is anything but easy or smooth as various individuals and groups respond to David’s return in different ways. As pro-David and anti-David elements jockey for position, the tension becomes tangible, squabbles and bickering spring up all over the place. How does God lead David to respond? In what ways do these events point us forward to Christ, the true king, not only the king we always wanted, but also the king we have always needed.

February 16, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • 2 Samuel 18, 2 Samuel 19:1–8

What happens when people reject God and God’s proper claim to sovereignty in their lives? What happens when people believe in God but live their lives as if God simply doesn’t matter? Join Pastor Jim for this study of a 3,000 year old snapshot of redemption history when the hope of the Gospel was foreshadowed in the life and times of Israel’s King David.
