Mercy From Our Better King

What is the lasting impression of 2 Samuel and the life of David? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider the final chapter of 2 Samuel.

Sermon Discussion

1. What comes to mind when you think of mercy? How does David’s view of God’s mercy influence how he acts in this passage?
2. How has our church’s time in 1 Samuel–2 Samuel changed the way that you look at these books (and David)?
3. What is one takeaway from the sermon and one question that you had after hearing the sermon?
4. Read 2 Samuel 24:1; 1 Chronicles 21:1; Genesis 50:20; Acts 2:23; Luke 22:3. How does God use evil desires of people to accomplish his purposes? How is this a comfort for us today?
5. Read 2 Samuel 24:24. How would you define “worship”? What is the danger facing us when we come to God in worship?
6. Christ Connection: How does this passage point us to Jesus?
7. This Time Tomorrow: How does this passage transform your thoughts, actions, or interactions at this time tomorrow?

Transformation Stories

8. Take some time as a group to share stories of how you have seen God at work in your life or the lives of others. Alternatively, take turns sharing your testimony with your group to celebrate God’s saving and transformative work in your life.
