The Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Samuel 7.
King David desires to build a temple for God but is told by the prophet Nathan that it will be his son who fulfills this task. This revelation humbles David, who realizes the eternal significance of God's covenant and promises. God assures David that his descendants will establish an everlasting kingdom in Israel. David responds with humility and gratitude, recognizing God's grace and faithfulness.
2 Samuel tells how David becomes the king of Israel and faces both success and failure. It shows YHWH's faithfulness to His promise and David’s need for His mercy. Through this book, God reveals David in times of both strength and weakness, but nevertheless as a man after God’s heart.
