Session 31 studies the record of David expanding his kingdom and making Jerusalem his capital city. He is humbled and deeply moved when God reveals that the Messiah will come through him. Despite his strengths, David succumbed to weakness, committing adultery and murder. When confronted, David made no excuses but admitted his sin. He received God’s forgiveness, but Nathan the prophet told David there would be consequences to his household. Verses: 2 Sam. 5:1-7; 7:1-29; 10:1-7; 11:1-27; 12:1-14; Exod. 22:1 Teacher: John Schoenheit
