Our theme for Advent and Christmas this year is “O Come, All You Unfaithful.” We will explore the biblical truth that God does not demand that you reach a certain level of faithfulness, righteousness, or “enoughness” before He will receive you as His child. In fact, it is just the opposite. Jesus enters our world as the baby in Bethlehem to be faithful, righteous, and enough in all the ways we are not. And through faith in Jesus, God invites us to come and receive His peace. Even though there is a whole list of reasons why you are not worthy or faithful enough to be in God’s presence, join us this Advent season to hear the good news that Christ is born for you. Each week we will look at various people from the Bible to highlight this teaching. This week we explore the life of King David, and how even though he was unfaithful to God and to others, God was still faithful to Him, and Jesus was still born from his family line to be the Savior of all.
David was a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). He was a mighty and successful king.
God made a wonderful promise to David (2 Samuel 7:8-17).
Clearly God must want people like David. If you think this, you’d be right (but not in the way you’d think…)
King David was unfaithful to God and to others.
God ultimately responded to David’s sin by…remaining faithful to His promise.
Christ was born from David’s line. Christ was born for David.
Christ was born for the unfaithful.
