Building a house – Has anyone got a good house building
story?
Today we are going to talk about David’s house building
project. He had big plans, but God didn’t let him go through with them.
What do you think motivated
David to propose building a house for God?
Why do you think that God spoke to David through Nathan, rather than
directly to David? – God uses different ways to communicate with us (and David).
We
know that Solomon built the temple after David’s death, but it’s clear that God
is describing an eternal Kingdom with an eternal throne in v12-14.
What do these verses tell us about God’s
eternal Kingdom?
·
David will have a house (me too)
·
David would be with his fathers
·
One of David’s descendants (Jesus) will rule the kingdom and His throne
will be established forever
·
The ruler (Jesus) will be God’s son and God’s loving kindness will not
be taken away from Him.
Have you ever tried to do something nice for someone who didn’t
appreciate it at all?
What does David’s response reveal about how he viewed God?
V20 – There is none like
you.
Why is it sometimes hard for us to get on board with God’s commands to
us?
David went farther than just
accepting God’s answer, he jumped on it and said “do as you have spoken!”.
David also remembered that
God had promised him good (v26). That probably helped.
