**SUMMARY:** Session five covers what may be the single most important chapter of 2 Samuel with respect to the overall storyline of Scripture. Here God establishes a covenant with David that will forever mark God’s dealings with Israel and humanity as a whole. We will learn about the covenantal structure of God’s mission, noting characteristics of God’s covenant(s), what is uniquely emphasized in this one, and how it all points forward to Jesus.

**NOTES:**

**Questions for Reflection and Discussion:**

- Would you say you have a relationship with God? What does that mean (since, unlike everyone else with whom you “have a relationship,” God cannot be seen or literally heard)?

- What teaching have you received about the concept of God making covenants with people? How does what you have learned compare to what we see in 2 Samuel 7?

- How is David’s covenant similar to others in Scripture? How is it different? 

- Which of the “Characteristics of God’s Covenant” are most personally encouraging to you today? Why? 

- How well do you intentionally sit and receive from God what only he can give?
