Title: A Christmas Carol Examined: Hark the Herald Angels Sing Text: Various FCF: We often neglect the deep theology in the Christmas carols we sing. Prop: Because Hark the Herald angels sing speaks much about the gospel, we should sing it with renewed vigor. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to Genesis Chapter 3. We will reference several passages of scripture this morning but it might be wise for you to have this text open and in front of you. In light of the holiday season, I typically break for a couple weeks from whatever sermon series I am in, in order to better accommodate our traditions. What a joy it was to hear so many of our folks use the talents the Lord has given them to bring Him praise this morning. Next week I'll deliver my traditional year wrap up sermon. I'll give you some lessons I've learned and some recommendations I have. I'll also spend some time assessing where we as a church are and how we could improve. Today, I wanted to do something a bit different and a good deal shorter than I normally would. My wife actually gave me the idea, calling my attention to this particular Christmas Carol which was missing a verse or two in our hymn book. In looking into the carol, and to the distance between when most of the carols we sing were written and us singing them today, it became clear that I should devote time to taking a familiar carol and examining the rich theological depths which we unknowingly sing about each year. Today, we will consider the carol Hark the Herald Angels Sing. This is on page 192 in our hymnal. The Carol was written by Charles Wesley. He wrote five verses. Most hymnals, including our own, only have the first three verses. Primarily because George Whitfield, a good friend of the Wesley brothers, John and Charles, edited the song down to four verses, combining the last two verses into one. This edit was later removed and kept to 3 verses in most hymnals. This was not because of any theological differences or errors that Whitefield perceived, but primarily to shorten the song without repeating theological themes. Unfortunately, we will only have time to look at two verses this morning. But I will make it up to you by giving you two for the price of one. So, we'll look at the first verse which we always sing. Then we will look at Mr. Whitfield's cobbled together 4th and 5th verse, so you get some exposure to the last two verses that were later omitted from Charles Wesley's masterful carol. We'll follow the same general pattern. I will translate the idea into modern vernacular and then expand on the What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures in the line and prove it by quoting or referencing an appropriate scripture passage. But before we dive in, let's pray and ask the Lord to bless our study of this carol. Invocation: Loving Lord, we thank you for such a rich history of the church. For thousands of years your church has grown and your kingdom has spread. We can look to songs we sing today that were written hundreds of years ago and still find great and deep meaning in their words. Help us to be mindful of the things we sing and say. Help us to see the great meaning of this season and preach it to others with everything we are. I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen. Transition: Well, let's get to the verse that we all know. I.) The gospel is at the center of this Christmas carol, so we must sing it as though we were preaching it. a. [Slide 2] Hark! The herald angels sing, i. What does this mean: 1. Hark is an interjection. It is calling those present to listen closely. 2. No, the angel's name is not herald. 3. Rather this is the job of the angels who pronounced the birth of Jesus the Messiah. 4. In the song they are said to Sing this to the shepherds. 5. So, in our modern vernacular it would be – Listen up, the Angels are singing a proclamation from God. ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. When God has an announcement for us to listen to, He often prefaces the statement with something to get our attention. Like Behold. Or Truly Truly. Or Thus says the Lord God. 2. Although in Luke 2 we do see the angels announce this news – we do not have any record in the New Testament that they sang this news. It actually says they shouted. b. “Glory to the newborn King; i. What does this mean: 1. Glory means to give praise that is due to an important person. 2. Newborn King is self-explanatory 3. “Give the honor due to this child because he is THE KING ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. All the way back in II Samuel 7, God promised David that a King from his line would sit on the throne forever. 2. And in Luke 1:32-33 the angel Gabriel told Mary that Jesus would inherit the throne of His father David. c. Peace on earth, and mercy mild, i. What does this mean: 1. Peace here refers to the cessation of hostilities between two warring parties. 2. This is contrasted with the second phrase where this cessation of hostilities is instituted by this child who is merciful and humble – bringing salvation to sinners. 3. “Forgiveness and Rightness with God comes from this baby” ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. Isaiah 53 teaches that the first coming of the Messiah, Yahweh's Servant, will be meek and mild, a sacrifice for sinners. 2. Not coming as someone who would be esteemed highly. d. God and sinners reconciled!” i. What does this mean: 1. Reconciliation is when two parties settle up a dispute. All debts are paid. 2. This dispute, we are told in the song, is between God and sinners. 3. God and Sinners square. ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. The dispute we have with God is that He made us to be His worshippers but we have rebelled against Him both in Adam and in our own sin. Gen 3 and Eph 2 and Rom 1-3 2. Yet God has made promises to preserve a remnant and save His people from their sins. 3. Christ then, meek and mild King, is the instrument to settle all the debts. e. Joyful, all ye nations rise, i. What does this mean: 1. Joyful is the attitude or the manner that is being commanded. 2. Nations rising is indicating the global nature of this announcement. 3. All the world get up and be joyful ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. Throughout the Old Testament, God desired Israel to be a light to the nations. 2. And in the prophets we see promises that the Messiah will finally succeed in what Israel was tasked to do. 3. The nations will be reclaimed as Yahweh's 4. And God ruling the nations will be praised and rejoiced in because the gentiles will be adopted into God's family too. f. Join the triumph of the skies; With th'angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!” i. What does this mean: 1. This is what the nations are told to do. They are told to join the triumph. 2. What triumph? 3. It is actually going all the way back to the beginning of the song. The announcement being made about the triumph of God over sin and peace on earth. 4. How? By the Messiah being born this day in Bethlehem. 5. So joyfully the nations are to rise up and announce the same message that the angels are announcing to the shepherds. ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. We see this happen in the New Testament. 2. The Gentiles not only inherit the gospel and become grafted into the promise of the Israelites, but they now become the heralds announcing the coming of the King. 3. A King who was born, lived, died, was raised, and ascended. All to save sinners and reconcile them to God. g. Summary of the Point: The first verse of this carol is nothing short of the gospel message. It is the announcement that Christ has come to make us right with God and change the world forever. Now not just Jews, but all the nations will rise up and announce this message as the world shifts and the Kingdom of God expands. So, as we sing this verse – we must recognize the potent dose of gospel truths being conveyed in a few seconds. And as we sing it out, we fulfill the words of this opening verse to joyfully join the triumph the angels sang about that Christmas night 2000 years ago. Transition: Let us move to the two verses not included in our hymnal. I.) Deep doctrine of redemption is found in this carol, so we must sing it as though we were preaching it. a. [Slide 3] Come, Desire of nations, come, i. What does this mean: 1. To be the desire of nations is to be the one thing that will truly fix the world. The one King that will bring everything back to what it is supposed to be. 2. This is, of course, the work of the Kingdom Christ began at His incarnation and will be completed when He returns to set up His Kingdom on the New Earth. 3. Come, one who will fix everything, Come! ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. We referenced psalm 2 just last week. 2. The eternally begotten Son of God - Jesus the Messiah, is this one that the nations must kiss lest He be angry and pour His wrath out on them. 3. Christ came first as a meek and mild child but will one day return as a conquering King. 4. The nations would be wise to kiss the son. To welcome Him. To pay homage to Him. 5. He is… after all… their only hope. b. Fix in us Thy humble home; i. What does this mean: 1. To fix is to establish something. 2. A home would be a residence. Humble of course meaning meager or unworthy. 3. Establish in us a little hovel for You to dwell in. ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. This probably doesn't reference God living or dwelling with us in the New Kingdom. Although that could be it. 2. Givin the context this no doubt refers to the coming of the Spirit of God to indwell those who are partakers of the New Covenant which is inaugurated in the blood of Christ. 3. This is foretold in Isaiah 44 and Joel 2 where God tells the Israelites that He will pour out His Spirit… ON ALL OF THEM. 4. In the New Testament we are explicitly told that the Holy Spirit indwells all who believe by true faith. c. Rise, the woman's conqu'ring Seed, i. What does this mean: 1. Rise again means to come out and do something. 2. A seed is an offspring or a child. 3. Come conquering child of the woman ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. This is pulled straight from the protoevangelium, or the first gospel announcement given by God Himself in Genesis chapter 3. 2. After the fall of mankind, God promises that unto the Woman he would give an offspring that would undo what had been done in the fall. 3. This offspring would be at odds with the offspring of the serpent or the children produced by the temptation and fall of Adam and Eve, which was instigated by the serpent in the garden of Eden 4. Revelation 12:9 identifies the serpent as none other than the Devil, or Satan himself. 5. This harmonizes texts like Ephesians 2; John 8; and 1 John 3:12 which identify people who act like Satan as his children or belonging to him. 6. This sets up the idea that there are two families. The family of God and the family of Satan. The Family of Satan is the family we are all born into because of the fall of Adam. 7. God creates a new family, through seed of the woman, in which we can be adopted. More on that in a bit. d. Bruise in us the serpent's head. i. What does this mean: 1. The serpent's influence is truly IN us. 2. Otherwise, this is fairly self-explanatory. ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. The term used in the Genesis promise is to strike, bruise, or crush. 2. Although many preachers have made the connection that Christ bruises his heel while crushing the head of the serpent – the scriptures do not overtly teach this. 3. But it is a logical and theological possibility. 4. Certainly, Paul says that if the forces of darkness knew that His death would lead to the salvation of His people, they wouldn't have done it. 5. The song references the destruction of Satan's power over us and the cessation of his claim on us as his children. e. Now display Thy saving power, Ruined nature now restore; Now in mystic union join Thine to ours, and ours to Thine. i. The rest of verse 4 goes on to speak of our restoration and salvation. ii. These are excellent lines, but Whitfield saw the next verse communicate similar teachings and decided to combine it together. iii. Still these words do add some to the meaning of the song. iv. But we'll have to cover them more deeply another time. f. [Slide 4] Adam's likeness, Lord, efface, i. What does this mean: 1. To efface something is to erase it. It is to undo something. 2. Adam's likeness refers to Adam as our first representative and how we have inherited his sin from him. 3. Erase the original sin of Adam from us ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. Although it has been attacked in recent years, the doctrine of Original Sin has been held to by the church since the beginning. 2. If something else were taught in scripture then we should cast the teaching aside. However, Romans 5, Ephesians 2 and many other passages seem to establish this doctrine not only as plausible but as orthodox. 3. Adam was our representative being the first man created. Because of his failure, we inherit the sin-disease through his line. 4. Seeing it this way helps us to understand the scriptures when they seem to paint our problem of sin beyond even just our own personal sin. National sins and even sins that we didn't commit but inherit culpability in. Even our sinfulness before we seem to be able to willfully commit sin (ie babies crying for no reason or crying when nothing is actually wrong) These all make sense when we understand sin as something like a hereditary spiritual disease. 5. This also explains and expands the teaching of the virgin birth, keeping Jesus from inheriting this same sin nature. By being born of a virgin, he is not technically a son of Adam. Truly and completely human, but not from Adam's line. Therefore, He is a second human representative. g. Stamp Thine image in its place: i. What does this mean: 1. To stamp an image is relatively clear. 2. Instead of Adam's likeness, give us your likeness God. ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. As a New Adam, all under Christ's headship and representation inherit a new name, a new nature, and a new birth. 2. They are put into a new family and made into a new person. 3. The old has passed away and the new has come. h. Second Adam from above, Reinstate us in Thy love. i. What does this mean: 1. These last two lines we'll take together. 2. The first Adam was formed from the dust and given life by the breath of God. 3. The Second Adam was conceived by the Holy Spirit in dust (in Mary's womb). 4. He is not from earth as the first Adam was. He is from above. A true man… but with a different fountainhead. 5. Adam was once fully in the love and grace of God. He was sinless and in right standing with God. 6. The song asks for Christ to reconcile us to God… which provides bookends between the first verse and the last. ii. What doctrine is this showing us from the Scriptures: 1. This is the primary work of the second Adam. 2. Christ becomes our second representative both passively and actively. 3. Actively he did what Adam did not. He kept the whole law of God without sin. 4. Passively he paid for what Adam could not. He accepted the penalty for human sin by suffering the full wrath of God as a human. 5. 2 Corinthians 5 says that He became sin who knew no sin that we might become the righteousness of God. 6. He is a perfect substitute not only for us but for Adam, our first representative. 7. He alone is capable of returning us to the relationship we had with God in the garden… and even making that relationship closer, since we are now not just a created being of God's, but actually His children. i. Let us Thee, though lost, regain, Thee, the Life, the inner man: O, to all Thyself impart, Formed in each believing heart. i. This is the rest of verse 5 which goes on to say similar things to what has been said already. j. Summary of the Point: Once again we must notice that the gospel is on display in these verses. And in these last two verses – the gospel is explained in rich and full theological detail. Details that are not found in the shallow end of the pool. This is well beyond the Sunday School answers of “Jesus died because He loved us.” But rather the representation of a Second Adam taking our place and restoring humanity's hope. Such are the words of this Christmas Carol. And when we sing it, we preach the gospel to one another and all who hear it. Make sure that you do that from now on. Conclusion: [Slide 5] I can think of no better application than to have the praise team come and we can sing this carol together. We'll sing Hark the Herald Angels Sing/King of Heaven but with one minor modification. We will add verse 4, which is the cobbled together verses 4 and 5 of Charles Wesley's original carol. You sing with us and sing it loud, knowing that you sing, you announce, you preach… the gospel of Jesus Christ in this carol. Benediction: May the God who humbled Himself to take on human flesh Who was wounded for our transgressions and chastised for our peace May the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace Bring to you a season of hope as you celebrate His birth and look ahead to His return Until We meet again… Go in peace.

Join us in person on Sundays at 8:15 or 10:45am for morning worship with evening worship at 5:00pm at our Plattin Road campus.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 9, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   In both the Old and New Testament we have strong warning about the misuse of the Word of God.   God gave very specific instruction concerning the building of the ark of the covenant.  It was to be made from specific wood and covered inside and outside with pure gold.  For the ark was to contain the most precious thing of all things on this entire earth.  What did they carry in the ark?  rubies, gold, diamonds?   No that which they carried was far more precious than the most precious things of this world.   God said:  "And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee."   And only select men could carry the ark.  When a man who was not appointed to touch the ark, reached up and steadied the ark when the oxen stumbled, God struck this man dead.   II Samuel 6:1-7  Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.  And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.   And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.  And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.   And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.   And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.   Uzzah was not one of the men who was appointed by God to touch the ark, the Bible.   Paul explains to us that because men use the Bible unworthily, many are weak and sickly and many die.   *****   In the New Testament, Paul says, I Corinthians 11:27-31 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.   30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).   31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.   (In this scripture, Paul is speaking of the way we use the Bible.)   Using the Bible is a very serious matter.  The examples of the Old Testament show how precious the Word of God is and how it must be handled carefully.  This is confirmed in the New Testament.   Jesus, The Word of God, is above rubies and all other things to see or desire.   Because of the misuse of the Word of God, many today are weak and sickly and many die.

Nesta mensagem, o Pr. Rafael Lemos, com o texto em II Samuel, capítulo 15, versículo 12, nos traz uma reflexão sobre o posicionamento na vida de Aitofel, e o que isso tem para nos ensinar.A história de Aitofel é uma das mais intrigantes da Bíblia — e também uma das mais tristes. Ele não era apenas um homem sábio; era o conselheiro de Davi, alguém cuja palavra era considerada como oráculo de Deus (2 Samuel 16:23). Imagine isso: um homem tão cheio de discernimento e influência, a ponto de suas palavras moldarem o destino de um reino.Mas algo aconteceu dentro do coração de Aitofel. Por trás de toda sua sabedoria, havia uma ferida não tratada — uma mágoa antiga. Aitofel era avô de Bate-Seba (2 Samuel 11:3 e 23:34). E quando Davi cometeu adultério com ela e mandou matar Urias, o marido dela, a dor e a indignação provavelmente se transformaram em amargura.Aitofel nunca perdoou Davi.Anos depois, quando Absalão se rebela contra o próprio pai, Davi, Aitofel vê a oportunidade perfeita de se vingar. Ele se alia ao traidor — e passa a lutar contra aquele que um dia serviu. Mas o final é trágico: quando seu conselho é rejeitado, Aitofel percebe que seus planos de vingança ruíram, e ele vai para casa, coloca tudo em ordem... e tira a própria vida (2 Samuel 17:23).Reflexão: A história de Aitofel é um alerta poderoso sobre o perigo de guardar ressentimentos. Ele tinha tudo para ser lembrado como um homem sábio, mas ficou marcado pela amargura. O rancor que ele alimentou em silêncio destruiu sua honra, sua lealdade e, por fim, sua vida.Quantos “Aitoféis” modernos existem — pessoas inteligentes, talentosas, cheias de dons, mas que se perdem porque não conseguem liberar perdão? Aitofel não morreu por falta de sabedoria, mas por falta de cura interior.Aplicação espiritual: Você pode ter a mente mais brilhante, os dons mais raros e os conselhos mais sábios — mas se o seu coração estiver envenenado pela mágoa, tudo isso perde o valor. Deus não olha apenas para o que falamos, mas para o que carregamos dentro.Davi caiu, sim — mas se arrependeu e foi restaurado.Aitofel, ferido, nunca buscou cura — e foi destruído.Hoje, Deus nos chama a abrir mão da vingança, do ressentimento e da justiça própria. Ele quer curar o que está escondido no coração antes que a amargura destrua o propósito que Ele nos deu.Mensagem final: Não deixe que o que alguém fez no passado roube o que Deus quer fazer no seu futuro.Liberar perdão não é esquecer o que aconteceu — é escolher não deixar que aquilo te defina.Porque o verdadeiro sábio não é aquele que dá bons conselhos aos outros, mas aquele que permite que Deus cure o seu próprio coração.Se esta mensagem edificou a sua vida, curta e compartilhe com mais pessoas.Deus te abençoe!

Fittingly, the history of King David recorded in II Samuel nears its end with two beautiful psalms. In the first, David declares his total dependence on the God of heaven for his stability, his safety, and his strength. Be with us tonight as we continue our study in this great man's life.

II Samuel 23 - Abdel Judeh - Sunday Evening, October 26, 2025 by First Baptist Church of Hammond

David según la Biblia hebrea fue un rey israelita, sucesor de Saúl y segundo monarca legítimo del reino de Israel (aunque Isboset, hijo de Saúl, fue proclamado por el ejército y gobernó dos años en el norte hasta su asesinato). Logró unificar el territorio israelita y lo expandió,​ hasta controlar las ciudades de Jerusalén, Samaria, Petra, Zabah y Damasco.​ La historia de David se presenta en la Biblia, principalmente en I Samuel y II Samuel, en tanto que el periodo que abarca su ancianidad y su muerte se narra al comienzo de I Reyes.

II Samuel ch 9 vs 1-13 - Rev Israel Douglas - Wednesday, October 22, 2025

II Samuel ch 9 vs 1-13 - Rev Israel Douglas - Wednesday, October 22, 2025

Big Idea: The God of Restoration. II SAMUEL 12: 1-13 So the Lord sent Nathan to David. When he arrived, he said to him: There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor. The rich man had very large flocks and herds, but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised her, and she grew up with him and with his children. From his meager food she would eat, from his cup she would drink, and in his arms she would sleep. She was like a daughter to him. Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man could not bring himself to take one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for his guest. David was infuriated with the man and said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die! Because he has done this thing and shown no pity, he must pay four lambs for that lamb.” Nathan replied to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD God of Israel says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from Saul. I gave your master's house to you and your master's wives into your arms, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more. Why then have you despised the LORD's command by doing what I consider evil? You struck down Uriah the Hethite with the sword and took his wife as your own wife-you murdered him with the Ammonite's sword. Now therefore, the sword will never leave your house because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hethite to be your own wife. “This is what the LORD says, ‘I am going to bring disaster on you from your own family: I will take your wives and give them to another before your very eyes, and he will sleep with them in broad daylight. You acted in secret, but I will do this before all Israel and in broad daylight.'” David responded to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Then Nathan replied to David, “And the LORD has taken away your sin; you will not die. 1. God is watching. 2. You can't cover up what God sees. 3. When you ask for forgiveness, He will forgive you.        Next Steps Believe: I need Jesus to restore me this week.Become: I will seek counsel when I fall short. Be Sent: I will set a good example this week. Discussion Questions: Why do you think some people feel they can get away with the bad things they do or did?What can we learn from David's mixed legacy about the long-term impact of our actions on our families, communities, and relationship with God?Do you think integrity, faithfulness, and trust are important as a believer? If so, why?Could you confront a leader in the church? Why or why not.Have you ever been confronted by someone in the church in a Godly way by someone? If so, were you humbled by the experience or offended?What role does accountability play in your personal spiritual growth, and how can you cultivate it in your community?Pray to be obedient to the Holy Spirit this week.

II Samuel 18 - Abdel Judeh - Sunday Evening, August 24, 2025 by First Baptist Church of Hammond

In the 16th & final part of his series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at the account of God judging David for counting the fighting men, and how David repents, abandons his idol of power; and offers a substitutionary sacrifice.

Confira isso em Mt.25:1-13"E sucedeu que, entrando a Arca do Senhor na cidade de Davi, Mical, a filha de Saul, estava olhando pela janela; e, vendo ao rei Davi, que ia bailando e saltando diante do Senhor, o desprezou no seu coração." II Samuel 6:16"O próprio Espírito testifica com o nosso espírito que somos filhos de Deus." Romanos 8:16"Não sabeis vós que sois o Templo de Deus e que o Espírito de Deus habita em vós?Se alguém destruir o Templo de Deus, Deus o destruirá; porque o Templo de Deus, que sois vós, é Santo." I Coríntios 3:16-17

This evening, we look at three sins David committed in II Samuel, and we see how they quickly progressed into bigger ones. This is a warning to us as Christians to not ever let the little sins slip by.

In Part 15 of his series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at the story of 3 of David's Mighty Men getting water for him from behind enemy lines, and we look at themes of how the Gospel transforms us into a different kind of warrior, one who overcomes evil with good, even […]

This is the second message preached here at the Montana/Idaho preacher's fellowship, and Dawson Neal preaches from II Samuel 5,6 where David fights battles and wins, but then tries to move the ark of the covenant, and it cost a man's life. 

We look at II Samuel 2:1-4, and look at something seemingly minor in David's life, that he inquired of the Lord about, and yet we learn a valuable lesson in this message, to always look to the Lord for guidance in every aspect of life.

In Part 14 of his series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at how David processed the death of his first son with Bathsheba, and what this teaches us about how to handle suffering, by looking to the One who suffered infinitely for us!

This is another message in the series, "A Tale of Two Kings". King Saul has died, and a man comes to King David with news in II Samuel 1. We can see David's discernment of this man very clearly, and we can learn great lessons from David in this story.

In Part 13 of his series on I & II Samuel, Rabbi Schiller looks at the famous story of David & Bathsheba, and examines the power of sin, the need for Nathan's in our life, and Y'Shua's forgiveness on those who truly repent.

In this message, Pastor Dobbs ministers from II Samuel 6:14-15 on how David was dogged in his praise to God after he got back the ark of the Lord back to the house of David. David shows us how we should praise God for His presence. Scripture: II Samuel 6:14-15 14 Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we concluded our study of David. The scripture reference was II Samuel, chapters 11 and 12. We discussed David's fall with Bathsheba and the consequences from this sin. On this Freedom Friday, we also discussed God's redemptive Grace. Our special guest was Dr. Winfred Neely, retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary, adjunct professor, pastor, and author. He shared that God loved David (and us) too much to let him (and us) get away with it. Dr. Neely also wrote the commentary on David (I and II Samuel) for the "Moody Commentary on the Bible".
