A new cycle of sin-deliverance; the Jephtha the Judge—and lessons of True Repentance and following Christ our Redeemer and Ruler.

Abimelech, Jotham, the men of Shechem,

We conclude Gideon’s story today.

The main point: A faithful church will zealously guard the centrality of the Word of God in all of life and faith and practice.

Today we talk about The goodness and necessity of God’s Wrath; the glory of the Gospel; reflecting God’s heart; and warring against sin.

Gideon makes the victory complete. 1. What is your response? 2. How will you judge the responses of others.

The Prophet Nathan confronts David with his sin. II Samuel 12

Today we consider II Samuel 11 and David’s failure, what we can learn from it, and its use to point us forward to the True and Better King, Jesus.

2 Samuel 9

Today we consider how David’s kindness to Jonathan’s son is but a shadow of the kindness extended to God’s Children through Christ in the Gospel.

God makes promises to David and concerning the True and Greater David, Jesus.

II Samuel 6–we consider Michal’s anger at David and draw needed admonitions from their story.
