GOD'S COVENANT WITH DAVID

Scripture: 2 Samuel 7


God's Covenant with David
Jesse M. Hendley
2 Samuel 7

Now my friends, if you have your Bibles turn with me to II Samuel 7, and today we are studying about God's covenant with David. God's word to David, God's promise to David in the form of a real covenant and isn't it wonderful to know that God makes statements to men and gives them great promises that are unconditional and that God will fulfill His promises.
