This Sunday we finish our series on the Life of David, so we'll ponder the big picture: what is David's lasting legacy? David offers to build God a 'house' -- a request which God quickly flips on him. Yet the 'house' God will build for David is a permanent one, a dynasty. Considering all of David's enormous failures we've detailed the last few weeks, this promise invites stark questions. And these are not questions asked in a vacuum, but the same ones we ask in our own lives: with the mess I've made of my life, did his promise fail? Is God still with me? If so, why do I so often feel the opposite? Asking these questions points David (and us!) to his joy. So let's talk about "David's Dynasty" (2 Samuel 7:1-22).
