The Jesus Code - Davidic Covenant (Hwy33)

What this episode covers

Text: 2 Sam 7 Contracts are for a moment, but Covenants are forever. This week Pastor Jordan takes a look at the covenant between God and King David. We see the promise of a king that will rule forever through the line of Melchizedek. A promise that we will one day see a King who will reign and rule with peace, righteousness, and humility https://youtu.be/OCXDsTrcJ7s?t=2630 Study Questions Jordan made it clear that covenants and contracts are not the same thing. Covenants are focused promises that help others instead of protecting yourself. If you were to make a covenant with your family, friends, and/or coworkers what would you promise them? Priests, lineage, and kingdoms sometimes feel like something from a bygone age. Why should we bother talking and learning about this stuff? We have all been in a place where the promises of God feel lost. God made this wonderful covenant with David, but his kingdom descends into chaos and eventually exile. What is it about pain and suffering that makes it feel like God won’t keep his promises? What can we do to remind ourselves of God’s love when we are at our lowest? According to the world what are the qualities of a great leader or king? How does this image of a king/leader compare to Jesus? Why is Jesus such an unexpected king?
