Preparing for Worship on Sunday, October 26

Sermon: "A Royal Mess and Divine Grace"

The preaching passage: 2 Samuel 13:1-33

These books trace the rise of kingship in Israel, beginning with Saul and transitioning to Israel's greatest king, David. The story is fraught with ups and downs for the nation, as well as spectacular displays of righteousness and spectacular forays into sin by the kings themselves. All along, the kingship in Israel directs our gaze to the coming King, who is no mere human king, but is Himself the divine King! The cry of Israel in 1 Samuel 10:24 – "Long live the king!" – was far more significant than they knew. For 2 Samuel 7 tells us of the King who would eventually come, whose throne and Kingdom would be established forever. We know that King to be none other than Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns forever. So with Israel we cry, "Long live the King!"

This Sunday we'll be looking at some of the repercussions of David's sin, namely the deep family issues that plague David's house from this point forward, and how God's grace is still evident, despite the terrible circumstances.

Songs we'll sing together include:

“10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)” by Myrin & Redman (YouTube)

"How Deep the Father's Love For Us" by Townend (YouTube)

“Jesus” by Poore (CFC)

“In Christ Alone” by Getty & Townend (YouTube)

See you Sunday!
