Sermon Discussion Questions
1.  The humble and right desire of David to honor the Lord by building a house for the Lord reflects a deeper belief in David’s heart that God is deserving of all glory. In what ways should such a belief in our heart lead us to think/act differently about how we steward our lives? (relationships, resources, time, areas of influence, etc.)
2.  How did David respond in 2 Samuel 7:18-29 to God redirecting his life away from what was in his “heart” for the future (verse 3)? How ought we resopnd when God directs our life plans? Share some examples from your own experience.
3.  How would you describe the book of 2 Samuel in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need this book of the Bible? How has it brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope?
(Romans 15:4)
