16 Verses: The King Beloved -- 2 Samuel 7:1-22

The theme for Pastor Chris Garrison's lesson this week, launched from The Whole Story of the Bible in 16 Verses, is that God, who is the hero and central figure of our story, wants to fulfill our hearts' desires. But we learn that we are first made to delight in theLord, and then he will give us the desires of our heart. God gave Israel David as their king. He wanted to build a house for God, but God shows him that He desires to build His kingdom and fulfill His promises through the kingdom He would establish through David, not a house of cedar. Through David, we receive Jesus, the true fulfillment of our hearts.
