BONUS: 2 SAMUEL OVERVIEW Sep 10, 2023

Show notes

2 Samuel shows us three different moves in the life of David: David’s triumphs, David’s transgressions, and David’s troubles. God will establish a dynasty through David; and God will have his line be king forever! But we also see that the forgiveness of sin does not mean that the troubles and consequences go away. Tune in today as we have Ben Krejci, from the Watermark Production Team, as he gives us overview of the book of 2 Samuel.
