If I were to ask you to list the top 10 most important chapters in the Bible, what chapters would you include? Surely some would include Genesis 3, Isaiah 53, John 1, John 3, Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 15, or Revelation 21. But how many of you would include 2 Samuel 7?
Back when I was researching this passage for our study in Samuel, it became clear that most commentators agree that 2 Samuel 7 is one of the most vitally important chapters in all of God’s Word. This chapter is not just important for your understanding of 1 and 2 Samuel, your understanding of David’s life, or even of the Old Testament. This chapter is vitally important to the story of God in salvation history. For this reason, we better understand it. We better know it.
I hope and pray you will make plans to join us this weekend as we continue to trace the thread of God’s redemptive purposes and promises in the Old Testament. We will take a deeper look at 2 Samuel 7 and the Covenant that God made with David. What God promised to David is relevant for our lives today.
Remember, weekend worship is a Friday decision. Make the decision today and invite a friend to join us as we worship our Savior, the seed of the woman, the seed of Abraham, the root of David: Jesus Christ.
In Christ,
Pastor Chad
