2 Samuel 12: David and Nathan - Pastor Nathan Miller
In this episode, we dive deep into 2 Samuel 12 to explore the stunning, multifaceted nature of God’s grace in the aftermath of profound moral failure. Picking up where chapter 11 left off, King David appears to have successfully covered up his adultery and the murder of Uriah. But God, in His relentless love, refuses to leave David in the dark.
Often, we misunderstand grace as simple "niceness" or reduce it to a Sunday school definition. But just as light hitting a diamond ring reveals different brilliant facets, the story of David and Nathan allows us to view God's grace from six distinct and powerful angles.

David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of God
David is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God’s own heart. But his story is not just one of victory; it is also marked by failure, brokenness, and repentance.
In this series, we’ll walk through the life of David to discover what it means to pursue God in every season—when we are chosen, when we are tested, when we fail, and when we are restored.
