Week 2 of wise words from Proverbs. The book spends a great deal of time warning the reader about the dangers of adultery. We’ll look at one such passage with the help of the greatest moral teacher that ever lived.

With the end of summer in view and Fall waiting for us all, we’re going to spend a few weeks looking at the book of Proverbs to get a fresh look at what wisdom is. There’s one wise way that can look different for many people as it’s lived out. Today, we start with the heart of wisdom in Proverbs 3.

The Books of Samuel conclude with one last story of David's... failures. A strange story of a census and a judgment. Why was David judged for a census? And what does David's choice reveal about him as a king?

The prophet Isaiah points the way towards a renewal. A life of prayer comes from a clear vision of God. Join us as Zach Washburn opens up the book of Isaiah.

David's life ends with a song and a prophecy. We'll look at the final chapter of his life (before the epilogue) in 2 Samuel. What was David singing about as an old man?

David was evicted from his house by his own son. But Absalom is dispatched as he hangs by his hair and, in 2 Samuel 19, David makes his way back to Jerusalem. On his way, he meets three people who opposed him, seemed to oppose him, or showed loyalty. How does David treat these different kinds of people?

In 2 Samuel 18, the threat to David’s throne is over, but it ends in tears. David’s tears. What does the saga of David’s house show us about Jesus?

Two of David’s men. One a traitor, the other a traitor to the traitor. Two plans. One to kill one man, one to wage war. As we continue in 2 Samuel, how does this knot become untangled?

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads! Today we will look at a father-son story that’s the opposite of what most dads hope for. David is betrayed by Absalom and turned out of his own home by the traitor-son. What does this mean for Israel’s greatest king?

David’s story took a sordid turn with Basheba and Uriah. And as we move on in 2 Samuel, now his family will follow his lead and things will fall to pieces. A son commits a terrible crime against a half-sister. Murder, vengeance, betrayal follow quickly. What’s the point of this soap opera?
