| 0:00.0 | Too often in our day, promises are quickly made and then easily |
| 0:29.9 | broken. In the Bible, you'll see that God does not treat promises so |
| 0:35.6 | lightly. And today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg takes a look at God's |
| 0:39.9 | response to a broken promise. We're continuing our Encore 2023 series with a |
| 0:45.4 | message titled, You May Not Want to Look. |
| 0:50.2 | I invite you to turn with me to Second Samuel and to chapter 21 and to follow |
| 1:00.9 | along as I read from the first verse. And then actually you may just like to put a |

| 2:12.6 | neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, what do you say that |
| 2:18.8 | I shall do for you? They said to the king, the man who consumed us and planned to destroy us |
| 2:26.9 | so that we should have no place in all the territory of Israel. Let seven of his sons be given |
| 2:33.1 | to us so that we may hang them before the Lord at Ghibliar of Saul, the chosen of the Lord. |
