Week of January 5 to 9
What We Learned this Week: Bible: We saw how God's covenant with Abraham was being fulfilled during David's reign. David conquered the countries in the area and brought peace to Israel. As a result, Israel become a world power because of the victories that God gave David. We also studied how David fulfilled his covenant with Jonathan by caring for Mephibosheth- essentially adopting him into the royal family. It is a parallelism of how God adopts us as His own and invites us to live with Him. However, we learned that great temptation comes with being king. David was disobedient to God and sank deeper and deeper into sin as he tried to hide his sin with Bathsheba. We ended the week by learning how the prophet Nathan confronted David with his sin. God forgave David when he truly repented of his sins; God forgives us when we repent of our sins, too. The test is scheduled for Friday, January 16. The students have already received their hard copy of the study guide a few days ago....
