| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Welcome to Truth for Life, where today we begin a new study in the Old Testament book of Second Samuel. |
| 0:32.8 | We're taking a look at a crucial covenant that God established with King David. |
| 0:39.8 | In fact, Alistairbegg teaches us why this particular passage of Scripture opens the door to the meaning of everything. |
| 0:50.8 | I invite you to turn with me to 2nd Samuel and to chapter 7, and I'm you to turn with me to 2 Samuel and to chapter 7. And I'm going to read from the first verse |
| 0:59.6 | to the 17th verse, to Samuel 7 and beginning from verse 1. Now, when the king lived in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his |
| 1:17.0 | surrounding enemies, the king said to Nathan the prophet, see now, I dwell in a house of cedar, |
| 1:25.0 | but the ark of God dwells in a tent. And Nathan said to the king, |
| 1:30.4 | Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you. But that same night, the word of the Lord |
| 1:37.7 | came to Nathan. Go and tell my servant, David, thus says the Lord. Would you build me a house to dwell in? I have not |

| 2:26.4 | And I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. |
| 2:33.4 | And I will make for you a great name, like the name |
| 2:36.8 | of the great ones of the earth. And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant |
| 2:42.7 | them so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. And violent men shall |
| 2:49.3 | afflict them no more as formerly, from the time that I appointed |
| 2:53.6 | judges over my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord |
| 3:00.5 | declares to you that the Lord will make you a house. When your days are fulfilled and you lie down |
