Finding Jesus in 2 Samuel

About this episode

The episode explores the themes of grace, sin, and redemption in 2 Samuel, highlighting how David's life points to Jesus.

This episode of Renown continues our year-long journey of finding Jesus in every book of the Bible as we dive into 2 Samuel . Tobin, Joshua, and the team trace David’s rise to the throne, the holiness of God seen in Uzzah and the ark, and the need for a mediator ultimately fulfilled in Christ. They unpack the tenderness of David’s covenant love toward Mephibosheth as a vivid picture of grace, and then soberly walk through David’s sin with Bathsheba , the murder of Uriah, and the painful consequences that follow. Throughout, they highlight how David’s life—his humility, failures, repentance, and devotion—points us to Jesus, the true King after God’s own heart, whose mercy is greater than our sin.
