Join us this week as we examine David’s declarations regarding why Solomon would build the temple instead of him. We’ll discuss David’s sin, God’s judgment and forgiveness regarding Bathsheba, and the consequences sin had on David’s testimony. Did God choose Solomon as king? What was the reason God gave David for His decision that David should not build the temple? Why did God not supernaturally make sure His will was perfectly understood? Was God’s decision to dwell in the temple proof He had wanted it? Did God respect Solomon’s request that He hear when Israel prayed “toward the temple?” Did God choose to put his name in the Temple Mount forever? Why the discrepancy in what David paid for the Temple grounds? Was David honorable in insisting on paying for the ground Ornan the Jebusite offered for free? And how does the story of David, Solomon, and the building of the temple help us better understand God’s grace?
