From Jesus' Lips to David's Ear (2 Samuel 23:1-7)

On Sunday, August 14, 2022, Pastor Joe Troutman preached, "From Jesus' Lips to David's Ear" from 2 Samuel 23:1-7. "The promise God made in the form of an everlasting covenant was a promise about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ." 1. The Sweet Psalmist of Israel (v. 1) 1 Now these are the last words of David: The oracle of David, the son of Jesse, the oracle of the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel: 2. The One Who Rules Justly (vs. 2-4) 2 “The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me; his word is on my tongue. 3 The God of Israel has spoken; the Rock of Israel has said to me: When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of God, 4 he dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth. 3. Plowshares Into Spears (vs. 5-7) 5 “For does not my house stand so with God? For he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure. For will he not cause to prosper all my help and my desire? 6 But worthless men are all like thorns that are thrown away, for they cannot be taken with the hand; 7 but the man who touches them arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear, and they are utterly consumed with fire.” mcopc.org/podcast anchor.fm/mcopc
