Summary

"It's actually for that exact reason that God won't allow David to build His temple." Do you ever ask God why you're not allowed to have something? Do you ask why you're not allowed to do something? David asked God why he wasn't allowed to build the Temple, and the answer comes back to this chapter of https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+2&version=NIV (2 Samuel 2). David was asking the wrong question. Someone else asked the right one, and it wasn't answered for centuries later: when Jesus came. Find out what the right question is and how Christ answered it from https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) as we continue our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).
