Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

You could argue that 2 Samuel 7 is one of the most significant chapters in the entire Old

Testament.

The Lord makes a covenant with King David and promises to establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

But this passage has very little to do with David at all.

He only becomes great because the Lord has the power to do what he promises.

In today's episode, we'll begin a new sermon series on the life of David,

and in today's message, Paul reminds us that our hope is in the God who stands behind his promises.

Each review helps us reach more people with the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Now here's Paul with this message on David.

Well, it was probably one of the best product names in modern culture.

It expressed something that everybody, if they thought about it, would want.

Windows.

What a great name.

A window is something you see through.

A window gives you perspective.

A window opens the world to you.

A window brings in light. A window gives you insight. What a great name. Bill Gates was saying, I've created a program that's going to give you a window on your world. God's word is meant to do just that for us. It's meant to be a window on the world that we would never ever have in

ourselves. The best window on what is is the window of God's revelation. And we're going to

spend the next few months looking out one of those windows. It's the window of the life of David.
