A Man after God’s own Heart. (series)
As we conclude this 12-week series on the life of David, we will reflect on David’s final recorded words and explore how his life—despite flaws and failures—was one marked by devotion to God, a legacy of leadership, and faithfulness to the end. This passage contains what is described as the last words of David, functioning as a poetic and prophetic reflection on his kingship and God’s covenant with him.
While David continued to speak after this point (e.g., 1 Kings 2), this passage serves as his final public
declaration about his divine calling and understanding of leadership under God’s authority. The passage reflects David’s awareness of his role as God’s anointed, his commitment to righteous leadership, and his unwavering trust in God’s covenant—even as he acknowledges human failure. We will study the passage section by section.
In today’s study, we will look into David’s awareness of his role as God’s anointed, his commitment to righteous leadership, and his unwavering trust in God’s covenant—even as he acknowledges human failure. Join us as Pastor Jide Lawore facilitates the study this evening.
