Episode Synopsis

Ever had to clean up a mess you didn’t make? A disaster at work, your kid’s meltdown, somebody else’s decision that suddenly becomes your problem? It feels unfair, frustrating, and honestly… heavy.That’s exactly where King David finds himself in 2 Samuel 21. Israel is caught in the middle of a devastating famine, and the cause isn’t David’s failure at all. It’s a broken covenant from Saul’s past. Yet David is the one who has to step in, seek God, and deal with the fallout. What follows is one of the most difficult and heartbreaking stories in the Old Testament — a story full of tension, sacrifice, and unanswered questions.But it’s also a story that points beyond David.It points to a King who stepped into a mess He didn’t create.A King who hung on a mountain to break a curse He didn’t deserve.A King who brought life where there was death.In this message, we look at why these final chapters of 2 Samuel zoom out to show what kind of king David truly was and why his story ultimately drives us to Jesus. The One who cleans up the mess we could never fix, fulfills the covenant we broke, and brings an end to the famine in our souls.If you’ve felt dry, distant, weighed down, or like you’ve made a mess you can’t undo, this message is for you. New creation is already breaking in — right where you are.Sunday Teachings drop every Monday and new episodes of The Extra Point drop every Tuesday!
