| 0:00.0 | Thank you. During a time when there was peace in Israel, David proposed to build a house for the Lord. |
| 0:33.0 | While God refused the offer, he responded with an amazing promise to David. Today on Truth for Life, |
| 0:40.0 | Alasturbegg unpacks God's covenant, showing us how it was partially fulfilled then, and pointing |
| 0:46.2 | us forward to how it will ultimately be fulfilled. |
| 1:14.6 | Well, we turn again to 2 Samuel 7 and we'll read once again from the 8th verse to the 17th and to Samuel 7 and verse 8. |
