Introduction of 2 Samuel

We are starting a new series called 2 Samuel: Broken and Beloved. 2 Samuel is a continuation of 1 Samuel—both historical books telling the story of the beginning of Israel’s monarchy. In this part of the story, the author focuses on David—the man after God’s own heart—as he becomes king. We see his flourishing as he obeys God, we see his decline as he disobeys, we observe the consequences that follow, and God’s mercy throughout. The purpose of this series is to learn about God, man, and the need for the gospel. Listen in for our introduction as we recap and preview. Specifically, we will be reminded of the biblical story up to this point: that despite human sin, God has promised to send a king into the human story to save sinners, and in 2 Samuel we get another big clue for that promise.
