Bern Leckie and Owen Lynch share thoughts and feelings about 2 Samuel chapters 11 to 24 and Psalms 42 to 51.
After the rise of King David came corruption which affected him, the community around him, and his family. We can only guess what was in his mind when he acted on his desire for another man’s wife, but we can see what was in his heart after being called out by the prophet Nathan.
David’s mixture of feelings and his meeting with God was recorded in Psalm 51. Bern and Owen wonder how much of this pointed to David’s need for more from God, and God’s plan to offer more than religion and ritual sacrifices ever could.
Ultimately, God’s promise to build David a house would be fulfilled, and we’ll look at that in next part of our boxset - Matthew’s gospel, chapters 1 to 20. Listen along at your own pace at severnvineyard.org/bible.
