7/13/2025 Genesis 12:1-3 Why Should Christians Stand With Israel? Genesis 12:1-3 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. The cornerstone of prophesies about Israel. We should all realize that God means what He says. Satan hates the Jews! He is the one turning the world against them in hopes that every Jew will be eliminated! The hope of the Muslims is the hope of the Devil. That the state of Israel and every Jew will be destroyed!!! If One Jews survives to the thousand year reign of Christ then Satan loses. The Davidic Covenant where Jesus Christ will sit on the Davidic throne and rule over His people Israel is the fulfillment of the Jewish people's years of struggle and anti-Jewish sentiment.
New Covenant G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 9 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! Let's read together Jeremiah 31v31-34 "The day is coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife," says the Lord. "But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day," says the Lord. "I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. And they will not need to teach their neighbours, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.' For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already," says the Lord. "And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins." Ezekiel 36:24-38 For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your land. "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations. "And you will live in Israel, the land I gave your ancestors long ago. You will be my people, and I will be your God. I will cleanse you of your filthy behaviour. I will give you good crops of grain, and I will send no more famines on the land. I will give you great harvests from your fruit trees and fields, and never again will the surrounding nations be able to scoff at your land for its famines. Then you will remember your past sins and despise yourselves for all the detestable things you did. But remember, says the Sovereign Lord, I am not doing this because you deserve it. O my people of Israel, you should be utterly ashamed of all you have done! "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I cleanse you from your sins, I will repopulate your cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt. The fields that used to lie empty and desolate in plain view of everyone will again be farmed. And when I bring you back, people will say, ‘This former wasteland is now like the Garden of Eden! The abandoned and ruined cities now have strong walls and are filled with people! 'Then the surrounding nations that survive will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted the wasteland. For I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I say. "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am ready to hear Israel's prayers and to increase their numbers like a flock. They will be as numerous as the sacred flocks that fill Jerusalem's streets at the time of her festivals. The ruined cities will be crowded with people once more, and everyone will know that I am the Lord. " The Context This covenant, which is called the "New Covenant", is the eighth covenant between God and humanity, and the fourth theocratic covenant. Israel as a nation had split into two parts - Israel and Judah. The Israel to whom God had covenanted with Abraham, Moses and David was no longer a united country. After frequent rebellions, Israel was no more as a kingdom and its tribes and people deported as slaves to the surrounding nations. But true to His word to David, about having a kingdom that would be an everlasting kingdom, there was still the tiny kingdom of Judah. Jeremiah was an out spoken prophet in Judah from the period 627-580 BC. It was a time of great wickedness including human sacrifice, witchcraft and of worship to other Gods. The kingdom of Judah as a whole, as well as the now dispersed kingdom of Israel, had forgotten the Law under the Covenant with Moses. The Law had been forgotten but when the book of the Law was rediscovered and reforms started to be put in place under the leadership of King Josiah. You can read about that in 2 Chronicles 34. How Can It Be? Its against this backdrop that what is called the New Covenant is decreed. Remember the question I left you with in when we discussed the Davidic Covenant. I asked how can a people like Israel, who in their relationship with God, were often disobedient, unfaithful and seeking other ‘gods', be the basis for a kingdom which will last forever as promised in the Davidic Covenant? It is through this New Covenant that it is possible! This New Covenant as we shall see is that it is only through God's own work it is possible and not by the efforts of humanity. A Reminder The Lord reminds the people of their past: that it was because of His guiding hand they were a nation at all. He was reminding them that He was a living God who desired an intimate and dynamic relationship with His people - unlike the dead gods of iron, gold, silver and wood of the surrounding nations! It was all God's doing that they came out from Egyptian slavery under the leadership of Moses! He reminds them that they had made covenant with HIM and that His love towards them was an intimate love! Yet they abandoned this living God in favour of idolatry, disobedience and rebellion. New Covenant Features Four features of this New Covenant are: Regeneration - God will write His law on the hearts of people (Jeremiah 31v33)! This indicates that rather than obeying God through coercion, that His followers will choose to follow God and be renewed! Restoration - God will be their God, and they will be God's people. (Jeremiah 31v33) The people of Israel and Judah had wandered away. They had forgotten they were to be a special treasure to God and a shining light of God's glory to the nations of the world. They were in exile and dispersed but one day God will gather them back and restore them into relationship. Indwelt - Until now God the Holy Spirit had only been on one person at any one time, such as He was with King David. But now another new thing: God will live inside people and they will be led by Him (Jeremiah 31v 34)! WOW! Is this a sign from the Davidic Covenant that God will be a Father to those who follow Him? Forgiveness - Sins will be forgiven and removed eternally (Jeremiah 31v34)! Under the Mosaic Covenant, there was what was called the atoning sacrifice, performed so as to ask God's forgiveness for the sins of people. But not all sins, for this sacrifice only covered those sins committed by ignorance, coercion or unwillingness. It did not cover sins done deliberately. But now, when the New Covenant is ushered in, ALL sins will be forgiven! The covenant with Moses could only point the way forward to this time when it would occur! Grace Rules Supreme Regeneration, Restoration, Indwelling and Forgiveness give us our greatest glimpse yet of a God of grace! This New Covenant would be all God's doing and not on what any person could do! WOW! This New Covenant earmarks the way forward for Israel and Judah to be restored to the land as one united country. Ezekiel also speaks of this New Covenant in Ezekiel 36:24-38 but without mentioning it by that name. Ezekiel speaks as one carried off into exile as young man to Babylon. During which time Jerusalem and the Temple (remember that from the Davidic Covenant) were desecrated and destroyed. In his vision Ezekiel, as does Jeremiah, speaks of a God who will cleanse, restore and operate within the life of humanity! This New Covenant is contrasted with the Old Covenant or the Mosaic covenant (Jeremiah 31v32) because this New Covenant finalizes what the Mosaic Covenant could only point to: the follower of God living in a righteous life conforming to God's holy character. How is the New Covenant ushered in? That's where we start to look next. Thank you! Tap or click here to save this as a MP3 audio file
Shalom Truth-Seekers in Yeshua Messiah. This is the first installment in a series of detailed teaching on the Hebrew concept of “covenant” (or “Berit”) and its foundational role in the faith and salvation of God's (i.e. Yehovah's) chosen ones. In this installment we introduce the Hebrew concept of covenant by exploring the term's meaning. We also emphasize its significance as a sacred, legally binding relationship between Yehovah (God) and His chosen people, Yisra'el/Yasharal, with its physical and spiritual implications for all humanity. The teaching critiques denominational misunderstandings and highlights covenant's Torah roots and its wider scriptural (i.e. both Tanach and Brit HaDashah) importance. Introduction to the Covenant Series We begin by recalling a previous post on Genesis 12:3. The title of that post is: Does "I Will Bless Those Who Bless and Curse Those Who Curse," Apply to the Modern Nation of Israel? (If you've not had the opportunity to listen to or read that post, we humbly invite you to do so by clicking this link https://www.themessianictorahobserver.org/2025/06/28/does-i-will-bless-those-who-bless-and-curse-those-who-curse-apply-to-the-modern-nation-of-israel/) In that post we clarified that the verse is not a command to bless the modern nation-state of Israel. But rather the verse is a prescriptive covenant provision. This provision states that those who treat God's chosen people, according to Torah principles, receive Yah's favor, while those who mistreat them face divine harm. And thus, covenant is central to God's relationship with His covenant people, Israel/Yisra'el/Yasharal. And it was that post that has prompted this covenant teaching series. In this series, we will explore the refined and broader principles of covenant that link it to God's/Yah's Grand Plan of Salvation, Restoration, and Redemption through the Person and Ministries of Yeshua HaMashiyach. Also in this post, we stress that denominational Christianity often fails to grasp the true Hebrew concept of covenant's significance because of their overall rejection of Torah and Hebraic principles. Because of denominationalism's wholesale rejection of Torah and Hebraic principles, they fail to recognize that the covenant is the sole pathway to a true relationship with God/Yehovah. That God-human relationship was established originally with Abraham and came to its fullest realization in the Person and Ministries of Yeshua Messiah. We will see that faithfulness to Torah and covenant obedience are essential for salvation and entry into the Kingdom of Heaven (Mat 7.22-23). Understanding the Hebrew Concept of Covenant Covenant, or "Berit" (in Hebrew), is a set apart, legally binding relational agreement between God/Yehovah and His chosen people. (Later on in this series we will see that Yah's chosen people are not limited to just the biological descendants of Avraham, Yitschaq, and Ya'achov.) But covenant frames the established relationship between God and His chosen ones with rules/behavioral expectations, obligations, and promises. Secularists may view a covenant much like a contract. But we will see as we delve deeper into the covenant Yah established/cut with His chosen ones that the concept of covenant is deeper. It's akin to a marriage-like partnership that is characterized by love, grace, and mercy. Both parties of the relational covenant agreement are bound to uphold the tenets of the established covenant. But God's faithfulness ensures the covenant's integrity, even when the covenant's human-signatory to the covenant, fail to keep their end of the covenant agreement. This faithfulness on God's/Yehovah's part is an immutable trait of God. Moseh described this character trait accordingly: “Yehovah/God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man (i.e. a human being) that He should repent (i.e. change His mind). Has He said and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not establish it?” (Numbers 23:19; LSB) The covenant (sometimes referred to as a blood covenant) is solemnly "cut" or established through an ancient middle eastern ritual that involves animal sacrifices. This bloody, solemn act symbolizes the serious and binding nature of the agreement (Gen 15). The Hebrew word "Berit" pictographically combines elements representing family, leadership, work, and consent. These elements underscore the covenant's relational and purposeful dimensions. Key Biblical Covenants We furthermore outline the five major expansions of Yah's covenant with His chosen ones: The Noahic Covenant (Genesis 6 and 9) The Patriarchal Covenant with Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 12, 15, 17) The National Covenant given through Moses at Sinai (Exodus 19-24) The Davidic Covenant with King David (2 Chronicles, Psalms, Isaiah) The New or Renewed Covenant prophesied by Jeremiah and Ezekiel (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:26-38) Each covenant expansion reveals aspects of God's/Yah's immutable character and the love He has for His set apart people. These expansions include expectations Yah for His covenant people. These expansions of covenant shape Israel's identity and sacred mission on the earth. The Commonness and Uniqueness of Covenants While covenants were common in the ancient Near East, often understood by scholars as treaties that various kings established with their vassals, the Hebrew covenant is unique. For we find that it is initiated solely by God acting from a position of sovereignty. God/Yah offers to His chosen ones a non-negotiable invitation to enter into a relationship with Him that is based on grace and love. Humans may accept or reject that invitation, but they cannot alter the terms of that covenant. Why? Because it is God/Yah Who carries the covenant's weight. Not from a position of subjugating His people, but from an expression of His desire for loving communion with His people. The covenant is thus a sacred bond with rules that both parties must honor. Those who accept the terms of the covenant commit to loving God (and loving God/Yah comes through faithful obedience to Him) and loving one another (Luk 10:27). The prophet Jeremiah's words to the Babylonian captives illustrate God's faithfulness to His covenant despite Israel's failures (chapter 29). Because of Yah's steadfastness to His Covenant, He promises Judah restoration and a future of peace. Greek Understanding of Covenant and Terminology In this teaching we also contrast the Hebrew "Berit" with the Greek "diatheke" that is used in the New Testament and in the LXX/Septuagint. While "diatheke" can refer to a “will” or “testament,” the Greek version of covenant does not capture the rich spiritual depth of the Hebrew, which involves an enduring, intimate relationship that has far-reaching implications for humanity's salvation. Varying Definitions of Covenant We list several scholarly definitions for covenant, some of which emphasize covenant as an alliance, compact, treaty, or sacred kinship bonds. The Hebrew understanding of covenant, however, centers on relationship, promises, and expectations established uniquely by God/Yehovah with Israel/Yisra'el/Yasharal. Conclusion We conclude our discussion by emphasizing the necessity of understanding covenant from a Hebrew perspective that is rooted in Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings. A Greek-only or New Testament-only view limits comprehension of this critical concept and the one that embraces it from that Greek perspective risks missing the covenant's full significance for individual believers and the collective identity of Israel. The covenant remains the foundation for humanity's salvation and our entry into the Kingdom of God (i.e. the Malchut Ahlohim).
Welcome to the message, "Unbroken Promises" in our series, "The House of David". In this message, Esther Nagy-Kasza discusses the Davidic Covenant and its importance in both David's life and ours. You can watch the message on YouTube here:https://youtu.be/iy-PG81IDeo
In this sermon, we looked at how God's promise to King David was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus. We studied 2 Samuel and how David was chosen by God to be king after Saul, the first king of Israel, disobeyed the Lord. Though David spent years on the run from Saul, he eventually became king and followed after God's heart. God then made a promise to David: one of his descendants would reign over a kingdom that would never end. This promise, known as the Davidic Covenant, shaped Israel's hope for a coming Messiah. But every king who came after David fell short, until Jesus. Through His life, death, resurrection, and ascension, Jesus proved that He is the promised descendant of David. He has established the Kingdom of God, and through faith in Him, we become part of it. Even as we enjoy the Kingdom of God now, we look forward to its full and final fulfillment when Jesus returns to reign forever as our perfect King.

Luke 1:67-71
The concept of Covenants are very important in the Bible. They are central to the Bible's unfolding storyline, and they are central for a proper understanding of the relationship that exists between God and Man. Yet, in much of the church today, covenants are not often discussed and even less often understood. In this episode, James Kaczor gives a brief overview of Covenant Theology. He touches on the Tri-covenantal Framework often espoused by Reformed Theologians (Summary Below)Covenant of Redemption: This is the eternal agreement between the three Persons of the Trinity to redeem humanity. Covenant of Works: This is the agreement God made with Adam, as the Head of the Human Race, that promised eternal life for perfect obedience and death for disobedience. All humans who are not "in Christ" are "in Adam" and still subject to the consequences of this covenant. Covenant of Grace: This is the agreement between God the Father and Jesus Christ, along with all those who are "in Christ," whereby God offers eternal life and salvation to fallen sinners through faith in Jesus Christ. In this Covenant, God also gives to his people the gift of his Holy Spirit that makes them willing and able to believe. It is through the grace of this Covenant that all people, since the fall of Adam, must be saved.In addition to this, James spends time unpacking the successive and related Covenants that advance the storyline of the Bible and the redemptive plan of God for the world. Mainly in this order: Abrahamic Covenant -> Mosaic Covenant -> Davidic Covenant -> New CovenantThis message was first preached by James Kaczor on 6/26/2025 at River City's Thursday Morning Bible Study.

God's covenant with the Levites is often overlooked in treatments of the biblical covenants. Studies will often jump from the Sinai Covenant to the Davidic Covenant, but the truth is that the Levitical and Davidic covenants are inseparable and mutually interpreting in terms of their prophetic contribution to the Old Testament's messianic revelation and its fulfillment in Jesus.

"All growth occurs outside your comfort zone. Stretch yourself beyond the familiar to truly expand." —David Richards SHOW NOTES EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: David's journey reflects resilience and leadership. The military experience shaped David's perspective on life. Creativity can be reignited through personal exploration. Journaling helps clarify thoughts and desires. Mindfulness involves directing awareness, not just the mind. Complacency thrives in comfort, hindering growth. All growth occurs outside your comfort zone. Breathing and journaling are effective tools for presence. Science and faith can coexist and enrich understanding. Your mind is an ocean, and your awareness is a lighthouse. You choose where to direct that light." —David RichardsDavid Richards' inspiring journey from Marine Corps officer to corporate leader and bestselling author highlights the transformative power of mindfulness and journaling for self-discovery and spiritual growth. He distinguishes mindfulness from mind wandering, emphasizing how practices like journaling cultivate presence, gratitude, and self-awareness. The discussion also touches on personal growth beyond comfort zones, the Davidic covenant in Christianity, and the coexistence of science and faith, with gratitude serving as a vital tool for clarity and spiritual enrichment.
In this episode, as we watch David surrender his good plan for God's greater one, get inspired to trust, worship, and walk confidently in the story God is writing for you.Themes of this podcast: God's promises are personal and eternal. Through the Davidic Covenant, we're reminded God's promises were for Israel then, and through Christ, they're for us now.Humility is the path to faith. David's response to God's blessing wasn't pride—it was awe. He acknowledged everything he had was from God. We're invited to do the same–sit with God in wonder, recognize His work in our lives, and walk in confidence because of who He is, not because of what we've done.Our ways are not His ways. David wanted to build a temple, but God had such a better idea. We might have the best of intentions, but God's plans are often different and ultimately better for us.Show Notes:BlogLeviticus Offerings ChartWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

As we conclude our time in this mountain peak passage in the OT, we see David's response to God's word. In this sermon, pastor Matt shows us that the right response to the word of God is humble praise and expectant prayer. Great grace compels great gratitude, and rejoicing in God's covenant promises will ignite our faith as we wait for Christ's kingdom to come.
In this episode, Dr. Michael Grisanti, Old Testament professor at The Master's Seminary, walks us through the grand narrative of Scripture by examining the biblical covenants—Noahic, Abrahamic, Davidic, and New. We explore how these covenants form the foundation of God's redemptive plan, their fulfillment in Christ, and their implications within a premillennial framework.Key topics include the Abrahamic Covenant's promises, the significance of the Genesis 15 ceremony, the dual horizons of the Davidic Covenant, and how messianic expectations point to Christ's first and second coming.

In this sermon, pastor Matt continues to unpack God's covenant with David, reminding us again that God's gracious promises to his chosen king guarantee a glorious future for his people. And the good news is that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of all these promises because he is the Son of David, the Builder of the house, and the Son of God .
Some chapters in the Bible are vital to know, even if they may not seem to be super applicable to our lives. 2nd Samuel 7 is one of those chapters. Today, we'll look at this passage and see how these few verses lay the path for the arrival of our Lord and King. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. The podcast mentioned that 2nd Samuel 7 is one of the most important chapters in the Old Testament. Why is that? 2. In this chapter, the Lord makes several key promises to David. What was the occasion that led to these promises? Why did David's efforts result in God giving these promises to him? 3. What was God's promise in verse 9? 4. What were God's promises in verses 10 & 11? 5. What was God's promise in verse 12? 6. What were God's promises in verses 12 and 16? 7. Ultimately, what is the kingdom that God is speaking about in these promises? 8. In light of Matthew 1:1 and Luke 1:32-33, how did Jesus fulfill these promises? 9. Take a moment to reflect on how you live as a Christian. What about your life demonstrates that you're living as a citizen of Christ's kingdom? Is there anything that does not reflect this?

Barry walks with us through an imaginary art museum, stopping in front of Psalm 89. This painting's canvas, background, and complex foreground include most if not all of the colors of the other Psalms, just as the Davidic Covenant echoes the whole of Yahweh's relationship with His creation.

2 Samuel 7 is a mountain peak of the OT. It is here that all of the promises and patterns of Scripture since Genesis 1 are gathered up and filtered into God's covenant with David. It is here, at this mountain peak, that we find God doing what he does best: making promises and keeping promises, surprising us with his goodness and grace. In this sermon, pastor Mitch reminds us that God's gracious promises to his chosen King guarantee a glorious future for God's people, and that these promises to David of a glorious future for God's people, become ours in Jesus Christ.

Dr. Alan Kurschner delivered an inductive study on the Davidic covenant, making a case that David's throne is still in the future and will be fulfilled on earth. In this study, he critiqued the interpretive principle used by many Covenant Theology proponents who use "New Testament Priority" to reinterpret or transform the messages in the Old Testament.

In this episode, we explore Psalm 72, a royal psalm that captures David's heartfelt prayer over his son Solomon, asking God to make him a righteous and just king. But this psalm is more than a simple prayer—it reveals God's own vision for justice, leadership, and how Israel could be a blessing to the nations.One of the most remarkable aspects of Psalm 72 is how it establishes justice for the poor as the true test of a king's righteousness. David does not pray for Solomon to be defined by military success or economic prosperity. Instead, he pleads with God to make his son a ruler who judges with fairness and defends the rights of the poor and oppressed. In God's eyes, the measure of a leader's righteousness is not found in their strength, but in their commitment to protecting and uplifting the most vulnerable in society.David also envisions that if the king rules justly, God will extend his influence beyond Israel to the nations. This is a striking implication—that justice is not meant to remain confined within the borders of Israel. Instead, God desires to see it scaled and reproduced, not only in every sector of Israelite society but across every nation and people. A just ruler is not only a blessing to his own people but a light to the world, modeling God's heart for justice on a global scale.Perhaps most significantly, this psalm connects David's vision of justice with God's covenant with Abraham. The prayer reflects the ancient promise that through Abraham's offspring, all nations of the earth would be blessed. David sees justice as something that should extend outward from Israel, fulfilling God's original intention to bless the nations through His chosen people.As we reflect on this psalm today, we must ask ourselves: How do we, as sons and daughters of God, embody His heart for justice? Do we advocate for the poor and the oppressed as God desires? If God were to “scale” and reproduce what we are doing, would it bring about justice—or something else? This episode challenges us to examine our own role in advancing God's justice and to consider how we can align our lives with His vision for righteousness in the world.Key Passages:Psalm 72Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music
In this episode, we explore the final recorded words of King David in2 Samuel 23:1-7, where Israel's greatest king reflects on his life and reign. At the end of his journey—after the sins of Bathsheba and the turmoil with Absalom—David ensures that one message remains clear:God Himself declares that the way a king rules is through justice and the fear of the Lord.But this divine decree isn't just about Israel. God emphasizes that the righteous king rulesover all people with justice, pointing to the broader mission of Israel's monarchy and the ultimate fulfillment in Christ. The result?The king who leads in justice and the fear of God will be like the rising sun—bringing warmth, light, and life to his people. This image is striking: the king himself is meant to be a light, modeling faithful sonship to Israel, just as Israel is called to be a light to the nations.As we close, we reflect on the impact of leadership today. The culture and direction of a group of people are deeply shaped by their leader(s)—whether for good or for harm. We consider the stark contrast between leaders who walk in the fear of the Lord, bringing justice and flourishing, and those who rule with self-interest, bringing division and decay. What does it mean for us to have leaders—whether in our churches, communities, or workplaces—who embody justice and godly fear?Join us as we reflect onDavid's last words, the calling of Israel, and the profound impact of godly leadership in shaping a people for righteousness.Key Passages:2 Samuel 23:1-7Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music
David rises. In this lesson, we explore the rise of David, from his defeating the giant Goliath to his eventual reign as king of Israel. We witness David's unwavering trust in God's power and his numerous military victories. Not only that, but we see David's God-honoring heart, desiring to build a temple for God's presence. God responds with promises in the Davidic Covenant. Later, however, as David's successes grow, so does his pride, leading him to commit grave sins of coveting, adultery, and murder. Confronted by the prophet Nathan, David humbly confesses his sins and seeks God's mercy and forgiveness.Bible Readings1 Chronicles 17Psalm 51Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

The women in Jesus' genealogy represent specific stories. Matthew's account of this genealogy is like a family history for the Hebrews. The story of David and Bathsheba is one of the darkest and saddest stories in the Bible. King David committed adultery with Bathsheba, she conceived, and David murdered her husband Uriah to cover up his sin. Satan was at work before Bethlehem to stop the promised Seed of Genesis 3:15! From the moment God promised the “seed of the woman” would one day bruise the head of the serpent, Satan had been trying to stop the “Seed” before He could even be born. In the Davidic Covenant, God had promised King David that one day, one of his “seed” would establish his kingdom and his throne forever. Twelve generations after King David, King Jeconiah was so wicked that God cursed him, promising none of his sons would ever sit on David's throne. Because God cursed Jeconiah's line, (Jesus' legal lineage) David and Bathsheba were both direct ancestors of both Mary and Joseph! Joseph through David's son Solomon and Mary through David's son Nathan. Because Jesus was virgin born, He was not David's seed through His earthly father, but rather His mother! Why doesn't Matthew mention Bathsheba by name in the genealogy of Jesus? In Christ, God no longer sees our sins and will one day give us a brand-new name! Bathsheba's name isn't written because God has given her a new name. God has a new name for you if you will repent of your sin and turn to Him. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how David and Bathsheba's story gives us the hope of a new name.

Scripture Reading: Luke 1:26-33 In light of the multiplied and complicated problems of our world it is clear that what the world needs is a king … someone to rule in divine wisdom and perfect justice and holy compassion. A king is exactly what God promised to David and through David, in what is usually called the Davidic Covenant. "When your days are fulfilled to walk with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. . . . I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever" (1 Chr 17:11,14). The baby in the manger is the promised king. "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end" (Lk 1:31-33). And one day the King will return and He will establish His kingdom. It will be a kingdom of peace (Isa 9:6,7) and justice (Jer 23:5,6) and holy sovereignty (Rev 19:11-21) and eternal duration (Dan 7:13,14). It is the coming of Christ and His promised rule that comforts us in the face of our fears and steels us in the face of our weaknesses. “The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever" (Rev 11:15).
