Purpose:

The purpose of this Blog is to expand and extend the discussion of a Sunday school class, Adult II, beyond the classroom. Each week, we will sequentially read a chapter of a book in the Bible followed by an open sharing of insights and perspectives on the Word. It is our prayer that the exchange that takes place will always be directed by the Holy Spirit, who is the mind of God, and it is done in LOVE so that all who participate may be edified.

2 Samuel 14 Reconciliation of Absalom and David

1. Note how David is guided to see "the error of his judgment".  It is very similar to when Nathan came to him about Bathsheba.
2. How do we see the hand of God in this story?
3. Compare the mercies of God towards David and the mercies of David towards his children.
3. How does this story impact your faith?
