Legacy - David: Beloved - Week 5

“David - Beloved”

2 Samuel 7:8-15

Dr. Gary Singleton

As we wrap up our sermon series “Legacy - What’s In a Name?” this morning we will look at the greatest king in Israel’s history - King David. But even being king didn’t guarantee that David would leave behind a great legacy. A look at David’s life reminds us that David had some pretty big failures.

So what sets David apart from all the other kings who reigned over Israel? The key to David’s legacy is that he made much of the name of Jesus. Like David, if we want to leave behind a lasting legacy we must learn to be God’s people in the place where God has planted us to accomplish God’s purpose.
