0:30.8	The people of God are unfaithful. God is always faithful.
0:38.8	The whole picture here is God not destroying the house of David, though the people of God at this
0:46.9	point deserved destruction. They had sinned, rebelled against God. They had worshipped all kinds of
0:56.1	other idols, indulged in all kinds of immorality. Yet because of the covenant God had made with David,
1:04.5	the promise God had made to David, since God had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons
1:11.3	forever. God says, I will not destroy the house of David. And even as we think about Christmas,
1:19.3	and the way Matthew and his gospel account introduces us to Jesus through the line of David,

2:40.3	you. We have turned constantly from you. We are prone today to turn from you and our foolishness.
2:47.6	Yeah, we praise you that amidst our foolishness, you demonstrate faithfulness to us day in and day out
2:57.2	that your faithfulness wakes us up every morning with new mercies. All glory be to your name, oh God,
3:03.2	for your love for us, for your faithfulness to us. The Lord, oh Lord, you are good and your
3:09.5	steadfast love endures forever. We praise you for your faithfulness in the second Chronicles 21.
