Worship Service for the Week of December 21, 2025
Scripture Texts: 2 Samuel 24
Sermon: Longing for the Good Shepherd
This Sunday we finish our study on the life of David – and we learn that taking a census has some interesting ramifications. It will not be an easy task to tie the fourth Sunday of Advent in with a plague that kills 70,000 Israelites. Pride, Judgement, Mercy and Atonement are all on display as we cover 2 Samuel the last chapter (24)

Discussion Questions
Ice Breaker Question:
What was your favorite Christmas present as a child?
Discussion Questions:
- As we wrap up the story of David – what do you see as the most significant event or episode in his life – and rule? Can be either good or not so good actions and experiences
- In Chapter 24 – the plague kills 70,000 people – how do we reconcile this with a merciful God when it was David that sinned?
- Pride versus Trust – are there examples that you can share where you had to choose between Pride and trusting God?
- Bonus Question – how would you tie the life of David in with the Advent story?
