My Sermon on 1 Samuel 20

by

I love preaching through 1 Samuel. The way God worked in the hearts of evil and good people to bring about His king — then tried and did it all over again!

This is where Jonathan and David make a covenant with one another. This is hesed at it’s finest. Jonathan puts loyalty to his father and his own rise to the throne aside to accomplish what God wants. David has the choice to run off on his own, or to receive that hesed from Jonathan.

David enters into the covenant and they would stick up for each other and defend each other even after the death of Jonathan.

Non-Linear Look over David’s Life – 2 Samuel 20-24

The end of 2 Samuel is chronologically wonky. It’s not meant to be in order, but it’s like the forgotten highlights that didnt’ make into the chronological part.

Another way to look at it is as an overview of his legacy. We all know King David is about to die, so let’s look over some of the great people he affected and is going to leave behind that are standing around and haven’t been mentioned yet.

Numbers Part 3 – Aaron, the Priest Line between Life and Death

This section is one of my favorites from the whole Bible. God is teaching Moses and Aaron to represent Him with self-sacrificing compassion. He Himself is going to die for people who grumble against Him, and here He is doing a little bit of that kind of training on Moses and Aaron.
